that's how I feel, it was a step in the right direction. But if we want to have people show up to watch, they have to do better than "almost win" I know people hate the NE Ohio comparisons, but it't crazy to see how similar the Zips and Browns are. They both were/are bad, but this weekend they both played decent. Both teams were expected to be blown out, but stepped up. Both should have won their games but blew it. At this point it's not the losing I hate, it's how it happens. As the game goes on you get the feeling "wow they are going to win!" then everything goes down hill.

Even I would say that we deserve to be out of the ranking. But it's ESPN, and it's the national media. They only really care about wins/losses.

Let me make an analogy. It's like somebody just handed me the keys to a brand new Ferrari. Then an hour later somebody takes it away and drives it into a lake. Should I be happy that I had a Ferrari for 1 hour? Do people care if I had a Ferrari for an hour? NO This "best team in the Sunbelt" got crushed by Duke...just saying

I get the whole "moral victory" thing, but if we don't end up in the win column does anyone care? What if Ianello's teams went 0-24 and lost every game in overtime. Would he still have a job? At the end of the day we have to realize that we should have won this game, and gave it right away. It started out as a trainwreck and I give them credit for fighting back. But I can guarantee Bowden and the players aren't in the locker room popping champagne bottles right now and getting their tickets to Disney. I hate to fill this place with negativity, but a fan can only take so much. This stings much worse than the blowout loss last week.

that's it....ballgame. 0-2

I hate overtimes.. I don't understand all the screen passes and lateral running

either it was a makup call from the missed horse collar, or the refs think that FIU has 10ft tall wideouts.

man defense...I think we scored with too much time left.

That was our last chance. Might have been a roughing the passer, but it's our won fault we lost this game. Have to learn how to get a lead and keep it.

He'll need at least 2 more if we want to win.

I've had poor quality video for most of the game, but the commercials are perfect. Go figure..

Huge loss for FIU. 2nd and 33? If they get a first down...ugh

They needed a touchdown. To settle for the FG really hurt us, but at least he made it. The defense got a break, now show up this drive!!

we're playing worse now than we did in the first few minutes. The 8 point lead might as well be 50.

I just feel like we haven't completed a pass in ages.

Well we really haven't been able to move the ball this half and it cost us the lead.

Giving up a big lead: CHECK

terrible time for a turnover...

New Balance and Mike's Hard Lemonade commercials: CHECK

More buzzkill... Can't State and Ohio U are both winning

Good point, I guess I was just getting greedy. And it's tough to not see the Zips blowing this game. As a side note Jason Taylor is in attendance.

But imagine leading 20-7 starting the 3rd quarter with the ball and all of the momentum? Now we only have a 6pt lead and FIU has all the momentum. Their defense will really be stepping up.

Leading at the half is important, but letting them score again will end our momentum. Our defense needed to make a stop.

regardless of the ruling on the field, that was a great catch!!

This game could easily be 17-0, lucky to be tied.
