Thoughts on the game

Post by JasonB »

- Embarrassing
- Inexcusable
- We lost halftime. Surprise.
- Not sure if it is worse to get blown out at the beginning of the season or at the end of the season. Getting blown out probably just sucks in general.
- Yes, I left the game early.
- Stopping the option = assignment football. We just tried to cram as many people at the line as possible. We weren't playing assignments.
- Looks like we are getting Saenna to graduate early. He is one of our best linemen, so that is kind of a bummer. We have to find two guards next year.
- We didn't lose this game because we don't have an IPF.

No, we lost this game because it was poorly attended.

Great effort. Great way to end the season with that bowl bid on the line. Looked like both Chad and Van had their guys coached up and ready to go, and the defensive scheme was on point.

Good job. Just need 3 more recruiting classes.

That has to be it because that has been one of JasonB biggest complaints. Especially when JJ was here. So that has to be the reason we lost.

If I were talking to Baylor, I would be a little embarrassed, regardless of the circumstances

Ben waiting to comment on Van for a while. Defense was embarassing, I will agree.
Pony up!

I have never, ever, ever complained about that. Please stop putting words in my mouth. I am an attendance apologist if anything else...

First time I'd seen this team quit all year. Didn't expect to see that.

I'll never see a kid graduating early as a bummer. Getting kids to graduate is the primary goal. But losing him will be tough for our depth.

Clearly Malone did not have a plan. Just rolled the team out there. Looked like a Pastner-coached Memphis basketball team

So I guess you don't quit if you don't even try to begin with? Did you not see the Memphis game?
