Official Quincy at Indiana State thread

[Lehigh Football Nation]

The FCS season starts today. Not next week, not next Saturday - today.

Indiana State will pulverize tiny Quincy (out of NAIA).

I hope. Do the Sycamores ever need a win.

Game is available on Go Sycamores (or with anyone with a College Sports Direct account). The Link to the video is available at:

http://college-sports-source.appspot.com/Scores.html?subd=FCS&week=0

6:05 EDT start.

Go Sycamores!

[89Hen]

Seriously? How is this allowed? xconfusedx

[TexasTerror]

I'm pulling for the Sycamores. It's time for them to begin taking the necessary steps to turn around that program and I have a feeling that Coach Miles is the guy to do it. This program is a few years away from being where it should be, but it takes steps and there's an obvious commitment to football in Terre Haute.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

A bit over 3 hours until gametime.

[BEAR]

Quincy came to Estes stadium last year and UCA drubbed them 51-6 and tallied nearly 600 yards of offense. It's an easy win but the Quincy fans and team are nice about it. xthumbsupx

[89Hen]

Seriously? How is this allowed? xconfusedx
This wasn't a rhetorical question. How are these teams allowed to start on August 27th? xconfusedx

[NHwildEcat]

This wasn't a rhetorical question. How are these teams allowed to start on August 27th? xconfusedx

Maybe because only one of them is out of the NCAA? My best guess.

[Umass74]

For Quincy, the video feed should be free.

[onbison09]

Go Sycamores! If they don't win this game......................

[Redbird Ray]

Funny to think that the Trees will be in first place after tonight (at least overall record) xrolleyesx

[MSUBear42]

Or dead last! xlolx

89hen, they received some special waiver from the NCAAs, not sure what for though.

[leatherneck177]

I believe Indiana State wins, but it is close until the 4th quarter.

[Silenoz]

Maybe it's an NAIA tryout?








Only kidding!

Keep us updated!!

[JALMOND]

I'm just glad we are finally playing football. GO TEAMS!!!!

[Head Cat]

It would be nice if I was able to WATCH after I registered for the game. I absolutely HATE Jump TV. All I get is error messages when I try to sign on.

[BEAR]

Football season has begun! xthumbsupx

[Head Cat]

17-3 Trees. Listening to the radio broadcast.

[Head Cat]

Sycamores have had a lot of penalties thus far, including one where a defender celebrated a big hit and got an unsportsmanlike penalty that gave Quincy a first and goal. The Hawks had to settle for a field goal.

[TheBisonator]

17-3 Trees. Listening to the radio broadcast.

Looks like the Trees are beating up on an NAIA team the way most halfway-decent FCS teams would beat up on an NAIA team. Could the Trees be, dare I say, AVERAGE this season?? Might we see something like a 5-6 season for these guys??

I'm not predicting it yet, but how weird would that be...

[Head Cat]

Finally got the pathetic Jump TV broadcast to work. Why do schools use these imbeciles?

I would say just about every FCS team should pulverize any NAIA team. But a win for the Trees would be a huge step in the right direction. I've said all off-season that I think the Trees will win 3-4 games this year.

[TheBisonator]

Any score update??

[Redbird Ray]

College Football!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[TexasTerror]

Finally got the pathetic Jump TV broadcast to work. Why do schools use these imbeciles?

Why do you think it always falls on JumpTV? You mentioned some access issues as far as after you registered, but a bunch of the times, it's the school's fault that their broadcasts are not working. Trust me... xsmhx

I think they'll get three or four wins this year. It's a work in progress for the Sycamores. In two or three years, we may even see them in the playoffs. They played loads of true freshmen last year and it's not like their is a lack of talent in Indiana.

I hope they can average at least 5-6,000 fans per home game this season.

A lot of times it is the school's fault. Trust me, I've had experience with the stupidity.

xthumbsupx

Yep - but JumpTV does have their fair share of issues (i.e. their servers get overwhelmed during 'overlaps' - signing day stinks!). Even if you are skilled and have staged plenty of JumpTV live events, there's a long list of issues that could cause problems for your broadcasts.

Remember that epic you guys had at the dome? Well all I heard of our last TD was "Walker drops back to pass" BLACK SCREEN. I was so pissed I wasn't even happy we won.

The common denominator to most of the bad experiences I've had with Internet TV events has been that they were streamed by Jump TV.

[Head Cat]

ISU just had a nice 21-yard punt return and were in Quincy territory at the 44. But the QB threw an interception into double coverage on first down.

where are you getting the broadcast from?

[Head Cat]

Indiana State's website has a streaming video feed for purchase.

More dumb penalties for ISU, but they still lead 17-6 late in the third and have stopped Quincy twice in the red zone.

[Uncle Buck]

Ah, thought maybe there was a free audio feed somewhere. Figured i would listen in while doing some work.

[Sycamore51]

1st and 10 from the ISU 7. Score is 17-6 with about 5 to play in the 3rd. We started good, but not much offense since the first qt.

Any idea of what the attendance looks like??

[Sycamore51]

There is an audio feed linked off the www.gosycamores.com

[Sycamore51]

The attendance is reported 7,126

[TheBisonator]

The attendance is reported 7,126

Awesome!! If you can keep the numbers generally above 5,000 for every game, you should be close to 6,000 or so per game. Much better than the 3,885 of last year or the 3,115 before that. I'm sure Homecoming will be a good draw for you guys at least. Hopefully there will be at least 5-6,000 at your place when we come to town.

[Sycamore51]

after 3 qts, 17-6. Quincey is knocking on the door though, on the ISU 15

[TheBisonator]

Come on guys! They're NAIA!! This is for conference pride!!

[Head Cat]

TD pass for Quincy to make it 17-12. Two-pointer coming.

[Head Cat]

Two-point pass makes it 17-14 ISU early in the fourth quarter.

TD pass for Quincy to make it 17-12. Two-pointer coming.

Gulp. Not good.

[Head Cat]

Quincy had a short field after ISU got pinned in and punted from its end zone. But the Trees are moving the ball with Darrius Gates on the ground and are back to the Hawk 26.

[Uncle Buck]

nice

[Head Cat]

Gates just made a nice dash for a first and goal at the 3. Gates is over 100 yards rushing.

[Head Cat]

Touchdown Trees. Spoke too soon. Third down pass incomplete.

Martinez 27-yard FG with 8:35 left to make it 20-14.

That showed something, even against an NAIA team, with Indiana State coming right back to score after the lead was cut to three points.

[TheBisonator]

26 games in a row!! xoopsx Haven't won since 10/21/2006!! xoopsxxoopsx Let's stop that streak NOW!!!

[Head Cat]

Who has the second longest losing streak?

[TheBisonator]

Who has the second longest losing streak?

PVAMU had something like an 80-something game losing streak back in the 1990's I believe. Maybe a PV fan could give us the right info. I don't know what the 2nd longest is.

[TheBisonator]

Any updates?? Will the Trees be able to hang on??

I meant the second-longest current streak. It looks like Dartmouth has lost 12 straight and St. Francis has dropped 11 in a row. Chattanooga has a nine-game losing streak.

[Head Cat]

Any updates?? Will the Trees be able to hang on??

Indiana State stopped Quincy on downs to force a punt and now has driven to the Hawk 26 where it is third down and three.

[Head Cat]

The Trees pick up the first down at the Quincy 23.

[Head Cat]

Kicker Braulio Martinez might have a chance to clinch it for the Sycamores. Third down and 13 on the 26 with 2:42 left and a time out.

[Head Cat]

Incomplete pass forces fourth down and Martinez is on for a 43-yard FGA.

[Head Cat]

Kick is blocked. Martinez's career long was 44 yards.

[TheBisonator]

OH DIP...........

[Head Cat]

Quincy just missed a big completion to the ISU 40 on first down.

[TheBisonator]

Man, if the Trees lose this one, we'll never hear the end of it from the fringe UND and USD fans about how they think the GWFC is better than the Missouri Valley...

[Head Cat]

Personal Foul on a pass completion gives Quincy a first down on their own 38. Completion to the ISU 46.

[Head Cat]

Completion out of bounds to the ISU 31. Dang prevent defense.

Time for a little kicker redemption??

[Head Cat]

Hurry-up offense for the Trees. Two completions to the ISU 47.

[MSUBear42]

What the heck is the score and time? INSU's live stats don't work for me.

[Head Cat]

Final time out for ISU. Third and 3 at the ISU 47.

[TheBisonator]

20-20 tied, less than a minute left I think, ISU has 3rd and 3 at their own 47.

Incomplete on the deep post. Fourth down. About 20 or so seconds left.

[Head Cat]

Long pass to the end zone on the final play of regulation is incomplete. We have OVERTIME in the first game of the season. What a way to start.

[Head Cat]

The way ISU has played red zone defense tonight, I like the Trees to win this.

[MSUBear42]

Oh CRAP, Quincy has a chance to WIN THIS???

No offense to INSU, but they deserve to lose this. That program has officially hit rock bottom.

Rock bottom?? They're halfway through the mantle of the Earth!! At this rate they'll end up in China!!

[MSUBear42]

INSU turns the ball over.... wow.

I'm literally laughing out loud...

[Head Cat]

ISU got a 9-yard sack on first down. Fumbled snap on second down.

[Head Cat]

On second down, the snap gets past the Quincy QB and ISU recovers the fumble.

[TheBisonator]

Please God, if there's one thing you in your infinite wisdom can give me as a Bison fan, it's not a national championship, it's JUST to beat ISU in Terre Haute this year. I don't know what we would have to endure as Bison fans if we somehow lost that game...

Amen.

[TheBisonator]

On second down, the snap gets past the Quincy QB and ISU recovers the fumble.

OK, nobody wants to win this game, it looks like.

That's a non-informed/non-educated football fan's response. If you understood football, you would know that it takes a while to build a program from scratch like Allen has had to do here.

[ISUMatt]

OK, nobody wants to win this game, it looks like.


I told anyone who would listen in the mvfc prediction that Indy st was horrible. They will bring up the read of the mvfc again.

[TheBisonator]

This is sad beyond my wildest melancholy.

[leatherneck177]

jeez, you know what though, I do remember Western almost lost to Quincy in 2004, they won 27-24 or something like that. Needless to say, they finished 4-7 that season.

[BEAR]

Quincy wins, 26-20.

WOW.


xeekxxeekxxeekx OK...I just don't understand. xconfusedx

Huh?

Believe me I know what I'm talking about.

I don't care that you are building from the ground up with UNI's recycled coach. So is Indiana State. That doesn't change the fact that you are in about the same positon as they are.

At least Missouri State has won some games in the past three calendar years...

[Umass74]

Coming from someone who used to coach and play football, clearly you don't.

I'm pretty sure we had 3 league wins last season... We were one freak-accident play against SIU from finishing tied for 4th last season.

Every year we have gotten better talent, Allen is consistently bringing in better players and even if they could make an impact they're redshirting. It takes a while to see results when you do that.

UNI's recycled coach? He left you guys for a better opportunity.

Am I jealous of UNI football? Hell yes I am, but that doesn't give you the right to put us and InSU in the same boat.

[TheBisonator]

"One more thing before I go, and then I'm done and I can go home..." -Kurt Cobain

I really hope no one else in the FCS world takes this loss tonight as indicative of all of MVFC football. The MVFC is at LEAST one of the three best FCS conferences, and we go through the proving ground every week. We're a DANG GOOD CONFERENCE. Indiana State does not represent even the middle-tier schools of the Valley like WIU, NDSU, SDSU, etc. PLEASE understand that come Thanksgiving weekend, our (2 or 3 or even 4) teams will be battling hard in the playoffs to represent our conference in the best possible way. I seriously thought when the Trees were up 17-3 that ISU would be something like a 3-8 or 4-7 team this year. Now that has been shattered to death. I pray for the sake of everyone else in our conference, that we all try our best to beat up on ISU Blue in every game this year in order to salvage our respect. And if any Indiana State fan doesn't like what I just wrote, TS. You earned that tonight.

Out.

Didn't Bears and Trees go to overtime last year? xconfusedxxconfusedx

If so, I think that has more to do with why Bears and Trees are lumped together.

If not, I humbly apologize for my faulty memory. xsmiley_wix

[RabidRabbit]

BTW - Sad day for Trees, and rebuilding. Hope that they can get a win this year someplace, preferrably OOC.

[Model Citizen]

Indiana State does not represent even the middle-tier schools of blah, blah, blah...

That's fine and dandy. But also understand that at 6-5 last year, Quincy is barely representing a mid-tier NAIA.

[MSUBear42]

It was too close to comfort, I'll give you that.

[DSUrocks07]

OK playoff prognosticators...

Does this basically destroy the MVFC's conference rating in regards to potential at large berths? (i.e. an 8-4 NDSU vs an 8-4 Texas State) I know the season has barely even started yet, but in the grand scheme of things you have to always have your eye to the future.

Maybe if NDSU loses to Indiana State xwhistlexxwhistlex

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Gee, I thought I was pretty safe in picking Indiana State to beat a NAIA team.....

[Model Citizen]

LFN,

I don't understand your comment. Have you ever seen an NAIA team?

[BearsCountry]

Quincy is a D2 school playing NAIA football. That is going to change here soon.

[DSUrocks07]

No. Don't be ridiculous.

NDSU was just an example for my argument. Don't get your jockstraps in a bunch. You really don't think that a game like this would hurt the entire MVFC's SOS to the point where it COULD be a factor? The MEAC takes flak all the time about how weak our teams are and how we would never be considered for an at-large. Now I realize that it's apples to oranges (due to our playoff history which is the bigger factor) but Indy State losing to an NAIA squad makes them a statistically weaker opponent for the rest of your conference to face. I echo your own post earlier, I hope that the "Sick-amores" go winless in conference play for the sake of your own playoff hopes.

[MSUBear42]

MSUBear, fine... You are above ISU, by a little. Congratulations.

Thanks!!

WOW.

Does this officially make Missouri Valley the WORST conference in the FCS?!??

[EmeryZach]

Yes

[LakesBison]

NOPE< we just have the 1 worst team in FCS

[strike00]

How would this change anyones view of the MVFC? Indiana State has lost the last 27 games and have lost 51 out of their last 52 or something crazy like that, three winless seasons in four years. This is not like its something new. The trees have probably been the worst Scholarship D1 team the last four years. Its not going to hurt the MVFC anymore than it has previously.

that being said I really believed the Trees would win this easily. They seemed to be headed in the right direction heading into this season, maybe upgrading from "terrible" to "very bad". This is a bad start for the Sycs. :(

It's happened at other schools.....


All I could do was SMH when I saw who their next opponent was.....

That's a non-informed/non-educated football fan's response. If you understood football, you would know that it takes a while to build a program from scratch like Allen has had to do here.

If TA had to build MSU's program "from scratch", then what exactly do the Sycamore coaches have to work with? Is there something less-than-scratch? Because I'm sure that TA inherited alot more football resources when he came in than Trent Miles did.


Oh well, I guess Missouri State still has the distinction of being the only team to lose to Indiana State in the last 52 games.

OK playoff prognosticators...

Does this basically destroy the MVFC's conference rating in regards to potential at large berths? (i.e. an 8-4 NDSU vs an 8-4 Texas State) I know the season has barely even started yet, but in the grand scheme of things you have to always have your eye to the future.

It lowers the "Strength of schedule" for the other teams in the league, sure, just like it lowers EIU's strength of schedule, since they play Indiana State as well.

But it is silly to think that it DESTROYS it.

Besides, judging an entire conference based on it's weakest team is rather silly.
That's like determining your opinion of the entire SoCon based on UT-Chattanooga or your opinion of the CAA based on Northeaster, or your opinion of the Big 12 based on Iowa State.

Northeastern is always a tough out and would never lose to a team like Quincy. If one wanted to have Northeastern play UT-Chattanooga or Indiana State, I am ok with how they would perform. They have taken the likes of Georgia Southern to the limit in recent years.

If Northeastern is your example of a CAA patsy then the CAA is much better than the MVFC.

Are you fn kidding me Trees? I've been one of the few supporters of ISU blue saying that this is the year they turn it around, and then you faceplant against an NAIA? Holy Crap. Please submit your application for the Pioneer League.

As said before, ISU BLUE DOES NOT REPRESENT THE QUALITY OF FOOTBALL PLAYED IN THE MVFC AS A WHOLE. ISU Red may be bad this year, but we would have drilled fn Quincy. Wow. xsmhx

[Redbird Ray]

On a positive note, from the game pics I saw, it looked like a legit 7K was in attendance. I hope this loss doesn't drive too many of the fans away. I'd like to think that even if my team was as bad as ISU Blue, I'd still show up routinely to tailgate and so on.

Maybe one of us GWFC teams could take their place in the MVFC...maybe UND??:D

No.

One question for people who might know: Why is Quincy Division II in all sports except for NAIA football?? Is that allowed?? I thought there was some kind of new DII football conference in their region that they could play in (I forgot the name of it). Perhaps Quincy could just play in that DII conference...

They play in the Great Lakes Valley Conference in all sports except football.

NOPE< we just have the 1 worst team in FCS
Finally agree with Lakes. This loss is embarrassing to InSU but not the MV. xpeacex

[Go...gate]

One game, fellas. I can remember some awful losses at Colgate after we hit rock bottom, too.

I dunno about you, but when I think about this game, I think about how terrible UNI is xlolx

Heck, we only beat the Trees 34-7 last year AT OUR PLACE. Which is what scares me even more.xreadx

I don't know. This is pretty bad. Quincy isn't bad.... they are really bad. They haven't won more than 6 games since 1994. In that time, here are their I-AA games...

WIU 63 - Quincy 0
UCA 51 - Quincy 6
SIU 59 - Quincy 14
MSU 51 - Quincy 14
WIU 38 - Qunicy 31
SIU 64 - Quincy 14
ILSU 55 - Quincy 10

and South Dakota 59 - Quincy 0

This has to go down as one of the worst losses by a I-AA ever.

[BEAR]

I don't know about you..but I CAN see the forest for the Trees. It's a dark and scary year for Ind. State. xnodx

[galen]

Quincey lost to SEMO 72-3 this week. So logically, if SEMO played ISU, they'd probably make Bill Cosby's Temple/Hofstra games look like down to the wire nailbiters.
