If this whole “FBS or bust” deal falls apart I’m definitely going to be a hater.

Life is full of haters and they expose themselves when you make moves to better yourself and/or your situation. You're a very fortunate person that you haven't encountered this in your life and haven't/don't have acquaintances/"friends" who engage in that kind of negativity.
The Sac State FBS situation is just a more public example of this. Granted Dr. Wood hasn't had the best PR campaign when attempting this move but nonetheless, a lot of what Hornet25 posted applies to this situation.
Spot on. Thinking on it more, I think there was a target on our back ever since we ran through the BSC for 3 straight seasons.

I have 1 problem with the play calling...little over 2 mins left, 3rd and 1 at the UNC 20, been running the ball down their throat and suddenly, GoGo decides to try a pass and Williams gets sacked...have to settle for a field goal and leave enough time on the clock for UNC to make that final drive....In that situation, I definitely want to run to keep clock moving and if you dont make it, you can decide if you want to go for it on 4th down or kick the FG....if you get the 1st down on the 3rd down play, you might be able to run the clock out with the way we were running it....Question mark for me....

Will need to obtain a passing runner in the portal. Williams is too one dimensional.
Agreed, some questionable rookie HC time management decisions made so far this year. Other was at Reno throwing the ball with less than a minute left leading the game.

Both teams were trying to pass when they should be running to lose the game. Only one team could lose though.

Wait until you see Jamar Malone…better passer than Williams, better runner than Rashada.
This is who I'm waiting on. Especially after watching Jaquail Smith. The high school recruits have a mental advantage on the FBS transfers who thought it would be easier for them in FCS and they would put up video game numbers. Props to Rodney Hammond for not taking this opportunity for granted and respecting his opponents.
Total headscratcher moment.

Nice recap! This was only the 3rd game I’ve been able to watch LIVE from beginning to end this season, as I’ve had a lot of stuff going on this year making extracurriculars a bit challenging, but this was a fun and exciting game to take in. The atmosphere looked amazing! And while it appeared as though they might blow it at the end, the defense came through at the goal line when the team needed it most.
Props to the administration for being creative with the end of game concert idea. I realize it was also homecoming, but there’d never be 20,000+ in attendance for a game against UNCO otherwise. Getting those extra fans into the stadium and exposing them to the high scoring and exciting finish they all saw will likely help bring some of those fans back for more. If heard correctly, sounds like they are doing another concert after the Montana game on Friday? I suspect another good turnout for that prime time game too. Let’s hope the Hornets performance on the field is up to the task.

Coach Marion is going through some growing pains, that’s for sure. Transitioning from a coordinator to the guy responsible for managing everything isn’t the easiest thing to do — especially at this level.
Not running the ball on that 3rd and 1 last night, along with the same decision at UNR on 2nd and 7 with 2:26 remaining and no timeouts for the opponent, were not decisions I expected from him — but until proven otherwise we should all expect him to learn and grow from the experiences.
It is his first time as a collegiate head coach after all.

Oh boy… anyone in attendance know if this was during the game or after during the concert?

During the game, maybe late second quarter? There was a noticeable murmur in the crowd, you could see a handful of idiots. Then the PA played “Why can’t we be friends?”
Our group - 16 including kids left before Yachty. But I was told that the community concerns were not another fight, but females exposing themselves and other acts happening on the field.
Invite the ghetto, get the ghetto.

The larger the crowd, the greater need for security to squash things early. Large stadiums have holding cells for this exact reason.
Happens all the time at big schools, but not reported because people don't have a whole nervous breakdown over 5 people out of 20k crossing the line. Usually only hear about it if it was out of the norm.
Jamo freaking out on Twitter is kinda wild. Fearmongering.

If administrators want to attract the Kings crowd and 40,000 people, you gotta have the security and attract civilized people as the target audience. Is this going to be a family friendly environment or a Cage Match?

Yeah Jamo on the X feed is overboard. Seems like everything is that way nowadays . It's not a common occurrence at our home games. Could there have been more Security available? Maybe... but it's not a reflection on the program. It's a reflection on the idiots that were fighting.
