Only behind by 3 at the half. This is the first time I have seen them this year. Not impressed. Some of the worst fundamentally played football I have seen. And it goes back to coaching. The clock management right before the half was atrocious.
I see the D1 transfers (25)? hurting recruiting as the Leprechaun uses UNA as a stepping stone back to D1 coaching. Flame me all you want all you Terry Bowden lovers.... I just dont see anything good coming from this guy.

Good to see your support.

OB, if this is the first time that you have seen them this year, then not surprised that you're not impressed by this game at the half. They have been impressive! UNA has a great team and they were a great team in their own right before Bowden ever got a twinkle in his eye about them.

GO LIONS!!!

Two, Ive kept up,.. reading boxscores and such. And yes stat wise they have been. Go ahead td as I'm typing, go Lions. But what i am seeing on the field, sloppy play and other things, almost thugish play at times. Guess that goes back to all the Florida St players.... I'm not impressed.

Andrews pick 6......

OB, surely you know that watching box scores doesn't really tell one how the team plays. My point was that I have watched UNA and they are strong as they have been all season (with some sloppiness that plagues all teams). I agree that Delta State is giving them all that they want tonight but they rally like the National Champioinship team that they were before Bowden. Again, that was my point, they are a great team win or lose...and they seldom lose...

OB, I resepectfully disagree. UNA and Delta are a lot like Alabama and Auburn -- you can't judge how the game will go down based on anything prior to them taking the field. It has been an exciting game to watch with some great plays and a close match up. It may not be UNA's best game of the season, but it has been exciting all the same...And right now they are up by 10 with less than 4 minutes left in the game...

You took those points right out of my mouth, Dixie!

LOL no but the box scores do tell alot. I guess what i was referring to was how they played.... and you have to remember... with all of the D1 players it isnt the same team. Matter of fact, something that hasnt been published is there was a fight between two Lions in the locker room,... both players were from rival ACC schools.

Yeah i understand what youre saying..... i remember the Troy-UNA, Jax Xt- UNA games... and Delta St is right there with those........ I'm happy the Lions are winning... its the way and why they are is what i'm not impressed about. I'm not explaining myself too well, but i was hoping someone would read between the lines.... Congrats Lions on a tough win, and beating the zebras and the dang announcers....

UNA WINS

I think I know what you mean OB, but it made for great entertainment...they can't play like they did tonight and stay undefeated though...they do have some improving to do...I like football -- I really don't care who's playing -- I like to watch it...it's one of the few sports that I could watch regardless and get excited and into the game...

Didn't hear about the fight --- I'll have to check with a friend of mine and get some scoop on that one...wouldn't shock me though...

congrats Lions on the Win!!!!

I will say this. Bowden is good. He may not be worth all the hype though. Hudspeth, with all his issues, put together and had built a very strong work ethic and a great team at UNA. Bowden may do big things in the future, but he is reaping what Hud sowed and you have to give that credit where it is due. I think it is great to see all teh Purple and Gold...while I have my issues with UNA as far as education goes -- the football excitement is wonderful! I wish Bowden the best and I hope he does well at UNA...I'm sure this is a stepping stone, but then again...he may be like a certain other coach that had great records and accolades at UNA but has not seen that same success elsewhere...

Purple Reign

Dang Dixie,..... a woman that loves football... you are every guys dream.... I like it when women love football...... and i agree with everything you said... except the Bowden remark. I wish them the best too..... its just well,.. things... I'll call them intangibles for now. With all of that said... To Jackofalltrades...... this is how two posters debate, if you will. Without hateful, spiteful, meaningless type. While we didnt see exactly eye to eye, we didnt trash the other.... its called respect. Thanks Dixie and Two... while we might not totally have agreed, it was civil. Most important thing, Lions won..... oh and Roll Tide Saturday.
