Hey state of mind..I'm confused...on the other topic thread "great effort" you insulted me for saying I like the defense because they play hard and respond when they need to...and on this thread...I say I would like to finish stronger in the 4th and you get mad at me again and ask what more do I want....I never said I was upset about the game or the win...But I do want more and that is to finish stronger in the 4th quarter...that's reasonable...

I've never insulted anyone on this forum, disagreeing is not insulting. If I did insult you I am sincerely sorry and I'm sorry you took it that way. That said let me spell this out for you, our defense is something that can be improved and that's not an observation from last night - rather the entire season. You wanted to have a discussion about us "not putting a team away" and I simply don't see it that way. When you put a team down 38 - 14 in the 4th Q you've put the game out of reach. You wanted them to run up the score or not play prevent or not put Bell on the sidelines or whatever else. I don't like it when anyone finds ways to be critical of a team that has won a conference game on the road in college sports, it's silly. It's not an easy task to go on the road and win in college sports. I am very thankful for every road win and I really don't care how ugly or how much the team came back at the end because at the end of the day a win is a win.

Yeah people on here regularly take disagreement as an insult to someone.
 
I will admit that I am as much to blame for this as anyone, but I think on occasion some of us try too hard to disagree.
 
Yeah but I can say that to you about our Defense that you are finding ways to be critical of them....we are 4-1 and our d makes tons of plays...I can say I don't like people who are critical of teams who have two conference wins and are ranked 21 in the nation...our D is good...we go in prevent in the third quarter and it causes them to give up points...they held wku to 16 and scored...held SDSU to 14 until the 4th and scored a TD...and ysu came back...they played good against penn state too..our o just put the in a hole all game....they played bad against butler but alot of that was game planning and our coaches adjusted and we saw how good they can be in the third against butler....all I am saying is we need to finish stronger....SDSU scared me for a bit because they made a good effort and the game wasn't out of reach..it could have been 38-35 and them lining up to kick an onside easily with a min left.......all we had to do was make some mistakes...I would like to see us run our regular O for a couple more series...not give the ball to our FB for four attempts...we needed a first...
 
Even Miles said in the post game that we need to learn how to finish. Enough said. Time to focus on next week.

Whatever we will just agree to disagree then, you are a football guy (I'm guessing), if you were "scared" of that team with a 10 point lead and no kicker I pray for you this week vs. UNI. Other than that, your points are well taken and I digress. BTW, if the "..." is your MO that's fine just use then correctly (no reason to be excessive) the proper use is with 3 "..." no more, no less.
