UNH vs WM Discussion Thread

[WMTribe90]

Big CAA clash this Saturday. Both teams have been playing well in recent games. Unfortunately WM will come in pretty banged up in this one.

I'll probably purchase the streaming video from the UNH athetics website. Could a UNH fan provide some info on this feed. How is the quality and reliability? What is the cost? Does the radio broadcast sound come with it?

As for the game, most of the injuries were on the offensive side, so we'll need the defense to have another great day. On offense, the OL will have to shoulder some extra load. UNH defense is great at generating turnovers, so the WM offense will also need to limit mistakes and take care of the ball.

[R3TRO]

The UNH streaming video is decent at best. Audio is included in the feed however there is a bit of latency between A/V. The picture isn't crystal clear but the good news is, they upgraded from a fixed point camera to someone shooting the game and following the play. As far as reliability, i've never had an issue. The cost is $7.95 IIRC. Regardless, I find the feed worth it to buy every week. Hope that helps.

[Tribe4SF]

Probably the biggest test to date of W&M's depth. UNH a clear favorite after the bye, and with W&M missing both Callahan and Paulus among others. UNH has won 12 straight at home, and is playing as well as anyone in the CAA. Revenge, and payback on the minds of the Wildcats whose last home loss was to the Tribe in 2008, and who haven't won in the series since 1998.

[NHwildEcat]

I am really looking forward to heading to Durham for this game...the weather shouldn't play too big a roll this Saturday as the temps are going to be in the mid to high 40's and it will be partly cloudy! From what I am hearing from W&M fans, there are quite a number of injuries for the Tribe heading into this game so hopefulyl UNH can take advantage of that and seek some "revenge" on W&M. As long as they can win the turnover battle, UNH should look pretty solid and hopefully they will be able to bring hom their 4th straight win!

Thanks for the info, just what I was looking. I'll be watching and hoping some back-ups rise to the occassion for the Tribe.

[WrenFGun]

Gotta have this one. Simple as that.

[superman7515]

Gotta have this one. Simple as that.

We'd appreciate it if you did.

[VUCats02]

This game isn't on comcast?

[NHwildEcat]

This game isn't on comcast?

No it isn't...I know the UNH/'Nova game next weekend will be televised though.

[superman7515]

Is there a New England version of MASN that could pick up the game? It's a good late season matchup and I would believe it would certainly draw some interest.

[jmufan999]

i've seen each team exactly once. well, i skimmed over the UNH-UMass game, so maybe 1.5 for them. i realize that's not enough to make a PERFECT judgment, but there are plenty of others who haven't seen that much. that said, i think W&M will win the game if they take care of the football. UNH has a better TO margin than W&M, but this is by far the best FCS team they will have played thus far. you can't say the same for W&M, who has been tested twice by good teams and won both. i don't consider UMass anything special, but the W&M/UMass game was a long, long time ago. i think the Tribe is on a mission to win it all right now, i'm not just blowing smoke. it should be very competitive but i'll say:

W&M - 21
UNH - 17

Tribe wins on the last drive of the game.

[VUCats02]

No it isn't...I know the UNH/'Nova game next weekend will be televised though.

That doesn't really help me considering I'll be at the game :-P

[NHwildEcat]

Yes there is NESN...but I am guessing they don't have rights to CAA games. Comcast Sports New England has a game or two a week. On tap for them this weekend...Maine/UMass.

I think anyone outside of the area that wants to see the game should just drive up to Durham...you can crash at my house...I don't think my wife would mind ha.

[R3TRO]

Still no link yet for video... I'm getting a little nervous. This is definitely a game I want to see.

Click on video next to the W&M game. You have to pay, but the quality is decent

[UNHFan]

Game is on! Lets go Cat's

[UNH Fanboi]

FYI, the audio portion of the video feed isn't working...


Edit - works now

[UNHFan]

Webcast embarrassing as always but hey we get to see every game... and to W&M fans who are watching... this is a huge upgrade from last year believe it or not

[OxSoxUNH05]

the audio feed seems to be the worst its ever been. oh well Go Cats!

[UNH_BLUE]

1st down UNH on 4th!

Nice!

[UNH Fanboi]

Has that pooch punt ever worked? Aim it towards the sidelines

[UNHFan]

Last year of me pulling out y hair!! thats all I am saying I could have kept that kick in play with Pats coming at me!

[UNH Fanboi]

Great tackle by Matt Evans! That guy is the future of our defense. Potential All-American in the next two years

[bullseye44]

Gawd - Tribe starts the 3rd string QB and the 4th string RB. That was Meltoya Jones on those first 2 carries, not Grimes.

[UNH Fanboi]

Ugh, two decent drives killed by holding penalties. At least we're moving the ball pretty well and wearing down their defense a little bit.

[R3TRO]

UNH is KILLING themselves with these penalties.

[bullseye44]

Tribe defense holds inside their own 40 on UNH's first 2 possessions. Seem to be getting good pressure on the QB. Tribe offense deep in their own territory to start again though. Jimmye will play it conservative until we can get some better field position.

[soccerguy315]

Kearney the TE... that means no Gottlieb either sounds like. Hope we can heal up for next week.

Grimes just got his first carry

[OxSoxUNH05]

UNH defense is holding them. If the offense can just stop getting flagged.

[dwtime]

Nice field position for the Cats, we need to put this one in.

[bullseye44]

Need a big play on D to get the offense some field position to work with.

[dwtime]

Nice gift call for us, well take it

[UNH_BLUE]

Penalty Tribe. 1st down UNH.

Let's get some points! Anything!

[OxSoxUNH05]

'Cats can't come away empty handed here and expect to win today

[soccerguy315]

end Q1 already? that is fast

0-0 (I think... missed the very beginning)

[R3TRO]

3-0 UNH

[dwtime]

3-0 UNH nice kick

[bullseye44]

Great job by the holder to get the high snap down. UNH 40 yd fg good. 3-0 with 14:57 in the 2nd quarter.

[soccerguy315]

good job by the W&M D to hold UNH to a FG... Tribe offense needs to get going a bit

[UNH_BLUE]

'Cats can't come away empty handed here and expect to win today

Exactly. A missed FG would have been a little demoralizing.

[soccerguy315]

UNH D continues to hold the Tribe offense to nothing.

[dwtime]

W&M kick to the UNH 21 1st down UNH

[bullseye44]

Jimmye's got to give Caprio a chance at some point. Look for a first down play action soon.

[Mattymc727]

well this game is exciting...............

[UNH Fanboi]

HUUUGE sack by Young

[soccerguy315]

hugely dumb penalty by UNH there... instead of 4th and 10, first down Tribe

[R3TRO]

I think UNH has more penalty yards than W&M has yards of offense. This is sloppy.

[dwtime]

UNH beating themselves 6-3

[UNH Fanboi]

TD W&M xnonono2x but missed PAT

I'd like to see a replay on that one, looked like he was out of bounds on the crappy video feed

[soccerguy315]

nice TD by the Tribe...

apparently we still don't have a kicker. Come on.

[UNHFan]

How the hell did UNH not block that pass what was 8 thinking?? Is his Cousin Randy Moss who refused to stretch his arms out 2 weeks ago for a pass That was nuts!!

[R3TRO]

Holding.. weird.

[OxSoxUNH05]

Penalties kill this team. Good return out the window.

[bullseye44]

nice TD by the Tribe...

apparently we still don't have a kicker. Come on.

Can we please let Miller kick the XPs? He at least will make anything inside 30 yards. Kuhn is awful.

[bullseye44]

Man, both teams have to have 3 or 4 sacks so far. Defenses far superior to the offenses thus far.

[dwtime]

get rid of the ball Tohman!

[UNHFan]

DECKER DECKER DECKER!!!

[UNHFan]

Wow has the punting just gotten better and better every game this year

[soccerguy315]

Tribe radio announcers complimented one of the UNH guys (maybe a LB) for repeatedly helping up Tribe players after the play (and mentioned "we didn't see a lot of that last week [against UNC])"

[bullseye44]

Tribe radio announcers complimented one of the UNH guys (maybe a LB) for repeatedly helping up Tribe players after the play (and mentioned "we didn't see a lot of that last week [against UNC])"

Yea - UNC was too busy driving guys into the ground to help them up. Nice to see the sportsmanship in the CAA.

[dwtime]

Go for the block, make it a short field

[dwtime]

UNH inside W&M territory with 40 sec left in the half

[UNHFan]

Clock plus 15 yards!!!!

[bullseye44]

Wow, another stupid penalty by the Tribe. Both teams might have more penalty yards than total offense.

[UNHFan]

I called it!!!! I am so done with him!

[dwtime]

another roughing the passer call on the tribe, nice to see we aren't the only ones killing ourselves

[bullseye44]

Tribe pick in the end zone. Whew! Going to the half, Tribe up 6-3. Tribe ball first in the 2nd half.

[dwtime]

and we kill ourselves again.......INT Tohman.

[UNHFan]

He was not open!!! Was a dumb move!

[soccerguy315]

big pick by the W&M D to end the half

[dwtime]

Lets see Tohman= 3 points in the half, a QB change?

[UNHFan]

Coach Mac fought tooth and nail with Chip Kelly to not Start ricky santos!! Ricky forced the issue Mac wouldn't know a good Quarter Back if he won the Walter Payton! OOPS!!! Coach Mac!!

[UNHFan]

The Toman era cant come to an end quick enough for me... he is Good to OK period!!!

[R3TRO]

Time to relax a little. We were bashing Toman against JMU too and look what happened in the second half. They had the bye last week and looked to be a little off to start. It will get better.

[UNHFootballAlum]

Terrible play call and even worse decision to throw it. They should have run a bubble screen or a regular screen. That is how they will keep the DL off of Toman in the 2nd half

[UNHFan]

Time to relax a little. We were bashing Toman against JMU too and look what happened in the second half. They had the bye last week and looked to be a little off to start. It will get better.

I agree I am done Bashing llLEts go Cats!

[bullseye44]

Seems like Toman would be OK if the O-line gave him more time. This might be the best our D-line has looked all year.

[soccerguy315]

sounds like UNH band playing phantom of the opera at halftime

[UNHFan]

Good start 3 and out Go Cat's UNH Ball at UNH 36

[soccerguy315]

will UNH go for this?

[UNHFan]

Toman Paters just short... ok Toman hung in there

[UNHFan]

will UNH go for this?
I hope not!! its early lets not let this get away we forced WM to go 3 and out and our Punting

[Mattymc727]

how the hell deo you run a 5 yard route on a 3rd and six?......we have to start converting 3rd downs.

[bullseye44]

Does the actual punter ever punt for you guys?

[UNHFan]

Amazing I am just at a loss... why the trickery there??

[UNHFan]

No we dont play football we play back yard crazyness!!! all the time!

[soccerguy315]

don't understand why UNH didn't just punt that normally

[soccerguy315]

UNH helping the Tribe again

[Mattymc727]

wow

[UNHFan]

Coach Mac sent them all on that play again horrible.. great when coach your Pee Wee team in this game NO!!

[soccerguy315]

Caprio slow to get up? can't be serious...

[bullseye44]

And we're on to Schmand at QB. Mangas might have to move back to QB before the year is over...

[soccerguy315]

W&M on their 4th QB...

[UNHFan]

Gotta tell ya its great to have T Fox's hands on the P Returns He is awesome

[UNHFan]

Toman on the run.. to Mason. 1st down

[UNHFan]

Toman to Mason again 1st down UNH on the 46 of UNH

[UNHFan]

CAN WE PLEASE JUST PUNT THE BALL!!!!!!

[bullseye44]

I can't imagine we're going to do anything interesting enough to score the rest of the game. A TD should be enough if you're UNH.

[UNHFan]

UNH Players got faked... Special Team should have had that ball stuck inside the 5

[Mattymc727]

I can't imagine we're going to do anything interesting enough to score the rest of the game. A TD should be enough if you're UNH.

we couldnt buy a touchdown right now......

[bullseye44]

we couldnt buy a touchdown right now......

That's what I'm hoping!

[UNHFan]

cant cant even buy a vowel

[UNH Fanboi]

Gotta tell ya its great to have T Fox's hands on the P Returns He is awesome

You had to say it didnt you

[UNHFan]

That is my fault I should have never made that comment FOX!!!!

[soccerguy315]

big recovery for W&M

[bullseye44]

Gotta tell ya its great to have T Fox's hands on the P Returns He is awesome

Maybe not?

[R3TRO]

This looks a lot like the Maine game. This is painful to watch. I can't believe I stayed up after a midnight shift to watch this.

[UNHFan]

I have the loser cap on my head as we speak

[bullseye44]

That is my fault I should have never made that comment FOX!!!!

Haha - it always comes back to bite me when I say something nice too!

[Mattymc727]

im glad we are making it impossible for ourselves to make the playoffs, three very winnable games this year.....three losses

[rcny46]

Ball game.

[bullseye44]

Grimes with 3 big runs after the fumbled punt. TD Tribe. 13-3.

[soccerguy315]

TD Grimes!

13-3 with a minute left in the 3rd quarter

[UNHFootballAlum]

It's not over yet. We have an entire quarter to go

[R3TRO]

What? No holding?

[Mattymc727]

so three quarters for UNH offense to get 3 points....does that mean we can expect 1 point this quarter?

[soccerguy315]

Caprio is also our holder... apparently BW Webb is the backup holder?

[R3TRO]

There it is.

[Mattymc727]

There it is.

haha, we are 2 for 2 on the jinx's today

[R3TRO]

Nice clock management.

[bullseye44]

Caprio is also our holder... apparently BW Webb is the backup holder?

BW is my hero.

[R3TRO]

haha, we are 2 for 2 on the jinx's today

It's not fair to call it a jinx... the frequency is too high. You could call UNH holding every play and you'll be right 50% of the time.

[R3TRO]

Delay of game on a punt?!!? What!? Are you serious?

[UNHFan]

Can UNH move to the NEC next season?

[UNHFan]

Can UNH move to the NEC next season?

Im kidding Im kidding!!

[R3TRO]

Jenkins can barely stand up.... why is he still in there?

[UNHFootballAlum]

They need to move quicker on offense

[UNHFan]

We bench FOX!! AND KEEP TOMAN IN!!!!

[UNHFan]

Toman 3 for 3 on the drive good call coach keeping that Toman kid in! lol

[UNHFan]

Great call ref!!! thank god no instant replay

[UNHFan]

Here we go 4th & 1

[soccerguy315]

big stop by the Tribe D on 4th down

[UNHFan]

We just suck! How did Peter not go airborne

[bullseye44]

Tough call not to kick the FG there and make it a one possession game. Huge stop for the Tribe! Now Schmand won't have to throw a pass today...

[R3TRO]

Pathetic

[UNHFan]

I say we send Pinkerton Academy down to Villanova

[VUCats02]

I say we send Pinkerton Academy down to Villanova

Villanova is losing to Rhode Island 7-0 at half. Offense can't do anything against Rhode Island. New Hampshire has a great shot to beat nova next week, especially if nova plays like the first half against rhody.

[bullseye44]

Grimes at his finest today despite the cloudy head. Just keeps his legs moving until he wears you down.

[OxSoxUNH05]

Offense can't do anything if they don't stop 1. Holding every other play and 2. Give Toman exactly .5 seconds to throw.

[UNHFan]

Villanova is losing to Rhode Island 7-0 at half. Offense can't do anything against Rhode Island. New Hampshire has a great shot to beat nova next week, especially if nova plays like the first half against rhody.

Yeah I am just venting... Just a bad game... UNH tends to get up for big games on the road

[UNHFan]

Good play force those LB's back in

[UNHFan]

Best Supporting Actor goes to??????? MASON!!!

[bullseye44]

I'm still surprised that UNH didn't go for the FG on the last drive. Would make this drive look a lot different.

[UNHFan]

That was the right call he was OB

[UNHFan]

Horrible coaching horrible horrible horrible!! Low level

[Nebuta]

The hay is in the barn. Good game all.

[soccerguy315]

FG is no good!

[R3TRO]

Welp, no excuses today. UNH lost this one on their own. Their penalties and turnovers gave W&M the game. Just a sloppy game on UNH's behalf.

[Mattymc727]

good game W&M, you guys are the real deal. For UNH, playoffs are next weekend......

[OxSoxUNH05]

Why go to the endzone on 2nd and 6 and then again on 3rd and 6. They could still have gone for first down. Bad coaching indeed.

[Mattymc727]

the good thing is, when everyone counts this team out, we play our best

[R3TRO]

The defense did its part today, holding W&M to under 200 yards. The offense stunk the place up.

[rcny46]

good game W&M, you guys are the real deal. For UNH, playoffs are next weekend......


Frankly,I wouldn't bet the farm on it.

[UNHFan]

Wow.... Great now I can pay more attention to my boys from Holy Cross who are getting killed!

[bullseye44]

Good game UNH. You ran into a defense that's really gelled the past couple of weeks. Now go beat Villanova next week!

[R3TRO]

UNH was given EVERY opportunity and advantage to win this game and they just couldn't. Very sad.

[UNHFootballAlum]

That was the right call he was OB

He dragged hi foot across the pilon, he was in bounds on that play. Bad call by the ref

[soccerguy315]

gutsy performance by the Tribe, able to get out of UNH with a win.

[UNHFan]

He dragged hi foot across the pilon, he was in bounds on that play. Bad call by the ref

are you at the game?

[UNHFootballAlum]

no, but if he had possession, which he did and clearly dragged his foot and kicked the pilon that would certainly suggest that we was in bounds

[UNHFan]

no, but if he had possession, which he did and clearly dragged his foot and kicked the pilon that would certainly suggest that we was in bounds

I dont think the ball was in his hands yet I am lucky to be able to watch the replay though :) Ill try and post it on YouTube later

[UNHFootballAlum]

I dont think the ball was in his hands yet I am lucky to be able to watch the replay though :) Ill try and post it on YouTube later

I'd like to see that play again

[heath]

Tried following your game on the thread guys, but please remember to incluce the score as you post,still sounded like a great game but never knew who won until the end. Good luck last 2 weeks.

[CAAisBOSS]

I'd like to see that play again

foot hit the pylon in mid air... not with his foot on the ground... therefore no touchdown

[superman7515]

I have absolutely no idea what the play was or what you're talking about, but just a point of clarification, the goal line goes around the world and if any part of the body crosses the pylon with the ball in possession, whether on the ground or in the air, it is a touchdown.

yes but this particular play he did not have his possession foot down yet. that would have been his one foot in bounds

[superman7515]

That's why I said if he had possession. Sounds like it was a tough game. Just another day in the CAA!

[UNHFootballAlum]

foot hit the pylon in mid air... not with his foot on the ground... therefore no touchdown

Have you looked at the play again? I'd like to see it again. Is it up on You Tube?
