Owlcountry40 is just a troll who posts this garbage for comedic effect, had Pelini gone for two and failed do you really think he'd be on here starting a thread saying "Well I give Carl props for going for 2 that was the right call"  no he wouldn't…In fact that's why he shuts his mouth when we win.  For those reasons and more he should be banned for the remainder of the season, nothing he posts is logical nor interesting….just makes us look dumber as a fan base.

People agree with me I guess that makes them a troll too.
But going for 2 with 6 min to go is the right call at that point you have to make it a 10 point game. Like I said if there was anything under 5 to go you kick the extra point.

The vast majority of people on here don't agree with you, in fact you went on a C-USA board with the same garbage and got lauged off the board…

It's NOT the right call if missing the 2 means you are only up 8!!!  So it's the wrong call since there was 6 minutes to go, but the it would have been the right call if there were 5 minutes to go?!?  That makes zero sense.  You always want to go up multiple possessions no matter how much time is left.  You keep talking like they automatically convert the 2 points, which is just silly.  If they miss the 2 and Marshall goes down field and ties the game, you are complaining that they didn't kick the extra point.  The general rule for 2 point conversions is that you don't go for 2 unless it is necessary.  In this case, it was not necessary to go for 2 when the extra point puts you up 2 scores.  

I don't know how anyone is arguing this. There are lots of other, more valid things to complain about from this game…this isn't one of them.

It makes perfect sence if there was under 5 min Marshall would have ran out time. Instead of getting the ball back with 1:49 left we wod have sat on the ball and we would have one by one if we didn't get a two point conversion.

You are making WAY to many assumptions and you are just playing the result.

If there is 6 minutes to go or 5, that's meaningless.  We score and are up 8.  You want to be up 2 scores at that point and you have to take the higher percentage play.  I know our kicking game sucks, but the extra point is still a much safer play than the 2 point conversion which has a lot of moving parts and much more can go wrong.  Sure, being up 10 is better than 9, but you can't just assume that they get 2 if they go for it.  If they miss it and are only up 8, you are in a far worse situation.

When your a coach you have to make 100000000000 assumptions. When we kicked the XP Pelini was basically saying that I don't think Cato one of the best QB mid major QB's I'm the country I dot think you can score twice. I say you have to respect your opponent and go get the two.

No,  because Marshall would have gone for 2… you think they were going to kick a PAT and not tie so late in the game?

Some of you FANS really are just flat out over the top. If you CANT see that this team is vastly improved from the that was out there the past few years then you really dont know football at all. Fire this coach fire that coach every week it is something. This program was in shambles that nobody wanted nothing to do with. This staff is doing a great job and has had an almost impossible task of trying to make this team competitive. The recruiting has improved and all these new recruits will show results over the next few years. What were you really expecting coming into this season really? I know there is no such thing as moral victories in football but jesus give this thing a little time to develop. I for one am excited about the future of this program and you are either with them or against them. THese kids are busting there ass everyday to get better and things will be righted. It just doesnt happen overnight. So just relax and look at the future and if you know anything about developing football talent you would know that this team is on the right track. I have posted on here before under another screen name but i just decided to log in through facebook. Yes my last name is Bland and I am related to Austin I talk to him on a daily basis and he is very excited about this team and its staff. Austin has been coached by some of the brightest football minds this country has to offer and If he is impressed by the talent on this team I think I will go with his judgement as a guy who is use to winning and kicking ass. Just relax people and stop wanting to fire everyone and let this thing develop!!!!!!!

This team has a lot of young talent my friend and its only going to get better when a lot of these younger guys develop. Its going to be ok buddy dont jump off the bridge yet trust me this team will be just fine. Really what did you expect this year. Sugar Bowl…. Its not like we were in a bowl game last year or the year before or even before that. Just get behind the team and have a little faith. Did you forget how bad this team really was two years ago… They were a laughing stock. Austin never gave FAU a thought until He met the new coaches. This process takes time my man. Like I said just remember how bad this team was!!

I've been behind this team since I got to FAU but really I had to endure two years of me saying Howard needs to go as I watched the program crumble around him.
People also love man what did you expect this year comment. Well I expected 7 wins you can ask Anyone that's knows me. I knew this team had the talent to do it.
And I look very right now to bad we have coaches who know how to let a team s*** it's self when the game is on the line.
