Credit where it's due, being down by 11 with only a few minutes to go isn't an easy situation to come back from and you guys made plays when you needed to. But you guys better send Chuck Martin a gift basket for what he did last night because I'm pretty sure a ten-year old with nothing but Madden experience would've been able to manage the last five minutes for a win. The loss wasn't on the refs (from the AAC for what it's worth), but they sucked from the calls, non-calls, and awful communication on both sides.

This was our best chance in years and we blew it. Martin has shown himself incapable of managing close games as an underdog, and last night was no exception. But IIRC we only have a dozen seniors while you have something like twenty so you can't pencil in next year as a sure win yet, but with Chuck on the sidelines we're inherently limited. But I'm not all that impressed with Fickell either to be honest.
