Could they be both not that talented and have given up? I don't think they have totally given up just not as talented as some thought.

Judging by the secondary's play this weekend, it's look like a.) they aren't talented; b.) they aren't well coached; and c.) they've given up.

The athletic and talent limitations are readily apparent and need no further discussion. But they looked so lost, bewildered, out of place, and just flat out awful that you can't help but think they either get no coaching, or just ignore it, or can't understand it. Again and again and again last Saturday. Frightening.

The screen names following are in alphabetical order.

I believe that BUS, ponyte, and myrdell are hurting as much as anyone who has posted on this board and I have admired but their comments which have been polite and encouraging. I ave no knowledge of which coaches are still trying to earn their paycheck and who has checked in. I can't name players who are still trying, whatever their talent level, and where ever they might be next season. I am sure those coaches and players are hurting as much as any fan.

None of the above should be taken to mean I would not have enjoyed being there the day BUS was reported as throwing his shoe.

I hope for better days, in the remainder of this season and the future. When its over, I have to believe that those who did not quit will have something to take forward.

Go Ponies.

I agree, that it's difficult to be sober and watch this disaster of a program. :lol:

That's her! I stood up and cheered when she popped up on the jumbotron. Must be a player's gf, right? Cause she was there through the third quarter.
