Why Did My Team Lose?

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Inspired by the Delaware Sandbagging thread. For 2015, after your team loses, pick the reason why your team lost!

[BisonFan02]

Smoke :D



*no ISU fans...not that smoke

[dewey]

The other team scored more points:D

It would be cool if the poll could be re-opened every week and accumulated, somehow, but it's not an option. Or else simply, multiple voting permitted.

[BisonFan02]

Voted just so I could comment....that list isn't the route I would have gone.... xlolx

Southern Speed?

They offer FCOA!

Gnats

Cold

Noise

Red turf

**** replay

Pregame meal food poisoning

etc.

Mets almost had that last week in Philly, but then they went and hit 8 home runs. Hopefully I won't have to consider this for at least 17 days for Delaware though.

I picked referees because i've lost count of how many jmu losses had a group of bush league caa officials sucking all game long. Apparently every form of contact is targeting.

[superman7515]

Man I wish I could pick multiple options, haha.

On a side note, got an email from Blue Hen Marketing today outlining all the great things about the opening game against Jacksonville, including an opportunity to win tickets to the College Football Playoff (FBS) National Championship Game... So that was nice.

If any other fans of FCS fans are confident their team will be missing the playoffs and are interested in watching the FBS games instead, the link that UD sent is http://www.collegecolorschallenge.com/?DB_OEM_ID=29100

The contest opened a month ago, they sent the email with the link today at around 11 am, and the contest ends tomorrow... I'd make a comment about how typical it is for them to be behind everyone else, but at this point, it would just be piling on. xrolleyesx

[Missingnumber7]

You missed:

We ran out of time

The fireworks were just so intimidating

that banner hanging there is just so distracting

who plays football in a dome

it was too cold outside, see also it was too hot outside

The instant replay official

They took a link out of the chains

freaking targeting rules

If JMU did that I'd be pissed and would have to send an angry email to Jeff Bourne that will just get ignored. FCS schools struggle enough with perception issues. we don't need them giving free publicity to the BCS cartel that most alumni are already sucking on the teet of.

In the case of Georgetown v. PL, or PFL v. Jacksonville -- "scholarships."

The Fargo Dome was too loud.

The Fargo Dome was too loud.

Would have also accepted - "Number 20 is using a big black club to assault our players!"

[AmsterBison]

If I've learned anything over the years, it's that almost every NDSU loss gets pinned on offensive play calling so I voted for "Horrible coaching decisions."

In reality, I think that sometimes the other team has better athletes at some positions along with a coaching staff that knows how to exploit those matchups.

After watching the infamous "Seven Shots from the One Yard Line" at Goodman in 2004, I never want to hear a JMU Duke complain about refereeing. The national title the Dukes won that year was done in substantial part to one of most ridiculous calls of all time, let alone a playoff game. (;-)

[BisonFan02]

Twitter suspensions....... :D

[Nova09]

Wait...3 other votes for kicker? Where are these Nova fans? Come out and identify yourselves!

[Nova09]

Great job LFN, but a little disappointed you didn't give Cit the option of "we didn't get the luxury of a PL schedule"

[Smitty]

I feel as if there should be a furman sucks option...

[Mattymc727]

I voted for "we have a young qb that is learning". Hes a senior, not sure he will ever get it....

Also, this voting field is shaping up to look like the GOP polling

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Looking back I wish you could make a poll with 100 choices

[RichH2]

Need an All of the above option.:)

[McNeese72]

Wait!!.........where is the "we have too many injuries to key players" option. McNeese could have used that for the last three games last season.

[BEAR]

Well....I was right! Defense hasn't changed! That barn got bigger and we still missed it!

[bulldog10jw]

Too many road games

"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Ivytalk again."

My voodoo hasn't done much to Harvard.

But it *has* done plenty to Princeton. :)

And that "transference" suits me just fine:D

Can't wait for the Ivy season to start. Ditto on the reppies, too.

The opponent had too few scholarships!

[Lehigh Football Nation]

We can't beat a team with a Dolphin mascot. Should have included that.

[NDSUSR]

Add a option: We were beat by a better team/We got outplayed,
Your poll is pretty poor if it doesnt tke into account the most obvious option.

Or is this a "look at me thread"?
