The 2008-12 stretch of playoff game losses were brutal.
It was either butt whippings by Richmond, Villanova, and Maine or heartbreak against Montana and Illinois State.
I can still hear the thwump of the extra point hitting the hand of the Redbirds player and the pall that fell over KBS in our last playoff game.

Illinois State game was an awful way to send Coach Moore outBUTCH1991 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 13, 2025 7:29 pmI still hear it too. NightmareRankinApp wrote: ↑Sat Dec 13, 2025 6:16 pmThe 2008-12 stretch of playoff game losses were brutal.

Re: Roster/Staff Updates
Interesting thread/discussion might be- top 5 best wins and losses. Second one might be too painful to relive

Re: Roster/Staff Updates

Re: Roster/Staff Updates
I feel like DLo just didn’t have enough time and money last year to find solid coaches. Had to almost just take what we could get with the money and time we had. We had a ton of 25-30 year olds coaching…still kinda do.appstate24 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 17, 2025 11:12 amSeems like a good hire! Eager for us to get back to dominating the line of scrimmage.

Another coach is gone based off the website, will be interesting to see who coaches RBs moving forward.

Oh…Good find. I see that now. That hire was the most confusing and underwhelming at the time he was announced.311neers wrote: ↑Wed Dec 17, 2025 11:20 amI feel like DLo just didn’t have enough time and money last year to find solid coaches.

Re: Roster/Staff Updates
New OL coach looks good on paper. Let's hope that translates to better production in the trenches. I wonder if ACU has any OL talent that wants to follow Pugh??? It would be really nice if we had a minimum 8 solid OL players to count on next season, but I know that may be asking a bit much.
Picked up via free agency by the High Country All-Stars
