I’m so very sorry.

I feel responsible.

Not because we lost, but because our playcalling is so boring and cautious and quite often bad (especially considering our talent deficiencies) that athletic kids might think twice before playing for us. This game seems to have been called like we have SEC talent. Newsflash coaching staff, we have tough players who work their asses off, but they aren’t that talented. Most of ’em anyway.

It’s basketball season..yeah

you all know it. for all the quitters, fallen teammates, misfires, squib kicks, and badly timed turnovers that seem to characterize this year’s squad…well…s&@t, these guys tackle and they almost get it right. And we all know that is a big improvement from the past regime. dougers is going to get it done.

anyway, I don’t want to get obnoxious about it. just sayin. i think the football team is going to win again. (tremendously, sooner than later)

just crap

discussed. i mean what else can we say? now we can look ahead to RUTGERS who #BeatUSF 31-0. caps on the 31-0. cause that was big.

I feel beat down. It’s been a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooong 5 years. For the first time I’m starting to question Marrone. Playing not to lose gets you beat.

The groundwork of a good program is being set.

They play smarter and generally better overall. The lack of talent
for the system is evident this year. Should be growing in success each year from here

I said this yesterday, but I’m sick and tired of beating myself up watching two head coaches who seem terrified to take a chance when the game is still contested. So my new topic is, why do our CBA receivers suck? I really, really liked Sales, and he has played a couple of games well this year, but I see no heart from him. He displays no emotion whatsoever after dropping two passes, and the drop at the end is just unacceptable. The pass was bad, but he got two hands on it and took his eyes off, then tipped it again to keep it in the air long enough to get picked. Double facepalm there.

Cuse could easily be 5-5 but due to a couple mistakes are 3-7. Fans can blame those losses on things like the loss of Mike Williams, Arthur Jones, injuries, etc.
Take a step back and look at the big picture. If the team won five games this year, there would be high, unreasonable expectations for next year. If Cuse followed up a five win season with four wins in 2010 fans would be screaming for Marrones head. However, if he can show steady improvement each year….3 wins, 4 wins, 6 wins….then the fans are going to go to war with him. What I can’t believe I haven’t heard anyone say yet is that THE TEAM WILL BE WORSE NEXT YEAR! Think about it…no Mike Williams, no Arthur Jones, tougher schedule (USF, Cinci,WVU, Rutgers all away) In 2010, 3 wins looks like the projected outcome, with 4 being a good year and 2 quite possible. 2 or 3 wins will bring us all flashbacks of GROB and Marrone will be well on his way out the door in 2012. In reality that is the most likely scenario but its not Marrone’s fault. He walked into a mess that will take 6 years to clean up. When GROB was fired, the Cuse job was a career ending job that no one wanted. It will be the opposite when Marrone exits. The naked eye will not be able to see the improvements because not enough wins will be produced. However, the mentality and the talent will have improved, and the program will be ready to explode. Sad case for Marrone but very likely to happen! Being in the right place at the right time is a big factor in life. 2013 will be a lucky year for some someone!
Ps. Anyone see that Michigan is #1 in the Big Ten in total offense this year, but their defense is one of the worst in the country? Gee, I wonder why?????
