TLDR the rest of the thread. The way I see this;

I hate losing, no matter the opponent, so I will not sit here and say it’s ok that we lost to a playoff team. Because in reality, it’s never for my Coogs to lose to anyone, plain and simple. Dana and the entire team could and SHOULD have won this game. These guys outperformed my expectation for this season, but I guarantee you each of them know they should have won the conference title plain and simple. Does Dana deserve an extension? A definitive yes. Are there things for him to improve on? A definitive yes. I go to bed with happiness for what we accomplished, and angst for what we could have done. After all, we could have beat this team.

And there were lots of them

Approximately half of all teams lose on any given Saturday.

Rewatched the game and I’m sorry, you can call me a bad Coog but total hats off to Cincinnati. They are a really great team and program. I really hope we have a program like that within another year or two. Real football in real places and real strength in the trenches. Very awesome and nice job Fickell and Cincinnati.

Except Ridder didn’t kill us. It was their running back Ford who hit us for two big runs for touchdowns.

The pass interference call against Jones on 4th down and Tune’s interception were what transferred all the momentum to Cincinnati. Once we were down Cincinnati started blitzing and we were done.

I am proud of the team and really looking forward to next season.

What an awesome experience. Sad we didn’t win but it was a blast yelling for my Coogs!

Great game experience except for the result. Most of their fans were nice too. They deserve playoffs. Our James Coney Island is far superior to Gold Star snd Skyline.

Wow, you sure are butt hurt.

Yep. It started with the fuster cluck against TT.

So many complaints about so many things on this thread. We have a coach(es) and a team that just went 11-2 and respectably played the #4 team in the country. Try and find some positive things to complain about for a change if you must complain.

At the beginning of the season claims were made we would be lucky to win 8 total and probably less. How wrong those of you that predicted that were. CDH and the UH Cougars proved you wrong. Give them all the credit they deserve without the nitpicking.

Nope just hate cincy and their trash fan base. They deserve to suffer.

Did you meet the Cincinn fan who was glaring at you?

My theory was that if I could annoy the home team fans enough to diminish their joy just a bit, then I was doing my job. I definitely was told to shut up several times
 hopefully not by UH fans! :joy: But I kept yelling till the team walked to the locker room.
