Last nights game with Dubuque Hempstead showed me three new things about this season....
1) The new scoreboard makes things a bit more interesting
2) We have a lot more speed on the offensive side of the ball
3) Our new jersey's look pretty cool and not so rustic
Even with all those new changes, one thing remains the same. We can't win a game. It has been 10 games since our first win, that's more than 680 days since our last win... The game started off with unrivaled enthusiasm until we had two early penalties. The attributed to an early seven point deficit. We came back with a touchdown of our own after a couple of big passes by the North Liberty Lion and some big rushes by the J-Train. After this turn events, things went downhill and Dubuque went on for 31 unanswered points. During this time, the cheerleaders went on with trying to entertain and rally the student section with no avail(who would have guessed.....)
As halftime rolled along and the sounds of Billy Joel resonated through the stadium several thoughts went through my head:
1) Why do we keep bootlegging out to the left leaving us with only half the field
2) We really need Otto as our kicker again
3) We aren't putting real defensive pressure on the quarterback
4) This face paint is really stiff/our cheerleaders really sucks
The game ended with a score of 38-21 but for those who were there, it was worse than what the score indicates. I have faith that we will win a game this season and show some real toughness on the defensive end, but if we don't we will be in store for more games like this.
From an optimistic but worried fan,
