Its usually only a one week thing. Its hard to get too worked up when you have a .833 winning percent against said team. Just always love the ones who always think Shepherd isn't on the same level as IUP and the Rock. Yes, we are built different, but its a recipe that has worked well for us.

It's tough to shake when for 25-30 years you've been told your not as good as the big boys. That's by every single team in the PSAC, shoot even this week there was some of the IUP trash (the new multi personality, fan boys, weak insult types) reminding us this isn't the MEC anymore. The mindset is we are still the upstart, but it's not really the case. Not sure any of us will really get over that part of our DNA since that is how we grew up as fans of the program.

Well, I am almost 60 yo and remember the NAIA days where the first game was always against the PSAC. Hated always starting the season 0-1. Shepherd has grown and developed over the years and now deserves the respect we have earned. There was a feeling of an inferiority complex especially for us older dudes. Didn't help that a lot of my friends went to PSAC schools....most to IUP...

Actually, Shepherd wasn't as good as the big boys until the early to mid '90s when Monte came along. In my college days in the '60s and long after that, Shepherd was the team you played when you wanted an easy W. They didn't really start taking over the series with Ship until the 21st century. But Shepherd has been a top dog in the region for a long enough period now that nobody should be surprised when they knock off one of the "big boys." Unfortunately, judging by the dusting The Rock took from Minnesota State last season, our best teams might be the big boys in a small pond at the moment.
One thing we take a lot of pride in is Shepherd doesn't get embarrassed on the national stage. We do see the blow outs that others have incurred, but it hasn't happened to Shepherd yet. Of course, if you want to call the 34-7 loss against NWMS in the NC the beat down ok I'll give you that. I at least can rationalize that one as NWMS having an all time dynastic team that was doing that to virtually everyone for nearly 3 years, and we were not healthy in any respect at the QB position in that game.
