There's always this non-chalant air with him whether where down by 40 or winning by 40, and I understand composure and rationality are great assets to have, but damn can you show a little enthusiasm from time to time? I look at the teams we play, and their players seem to be a little more lively and excited to be playing ball than ours, and I feel that it's Junes demeanor that plays a part in that. I'm not saying that's the only reason we're losing games, but is it too much to wish for us to compete and make the scores a little less lopsided? I think that same demeanor June has also impacts the recruiting, I just feel that if I were a recruit then I'd be more interested in playing for a coach with a little more fire. It's no wonder we have nothing but a bunch of 2 star recruits, hell, I'm looking at North Texas and I'd be willing to bet that they'd put up a W on us. There just seems to be no heart or chemistry with this team, and I lay that blame at the feet of JJ. You're not going to get quality recruits with a non-chalant attitude that isn't convincing them that the program is headed in the right direction.

I admit I haven't read this entire line of posts, so forgive if my thoughts are repetitive. After watching the A&M game again, I had many changes of heart regarding the game and some of my angry posts.

!. I now believe JJ called a much better game than the previous two.
2. The Oline played pretty well. They seem to be coming together and doing their job.
3. The WRs are a major part of GG's problem. This was admitted by Coach Phillips. Only Dieter seem to be determined to catch the pass. Holman quits on routes and made a couple of horrible mistakes. I remember the Hawaii Bowl and most of Padron passes were not right on target, so the WRs have to make some of those catches.
4. The defense really stepped up a notch in spite of what the score says. Cameron played his best game this year. So did Margus.
5. I firmly believe that we should have had 17 points in the first half. I also believe we would have still lost to a better team.
6. We are still on track in the W-L column, I count myself as foolish to think we would beat Baylor and A&M.
7. BUT...of course the offense must get getter.
