We were scoring a lot of points to only score a few recently. Why the big turnaround?

Congratulations to the apologists.

The bottom has fallen out and you're all fine with it.  You wouldn't recognize a distinct collapse if it came with a neon sign in 30 feet tall letters.

The key games this year were Beefs, BG and kents.  They were our path to the MAC title game.  But we went 116-16.


Hey, rub a little dirt on that broken arm and that ruptured aorta.  Clean that windshield--that'll remedy those flat tires and broken axle.


Answer me these:  How could it be worse right now?  What would it take for you to recognize that there's something significantly wrong here?


You all think I get joy out of this.  That's not it at all   It's that my head isn't in the sand and I recognize reality.
 


Oh, NOW I GET A HIGHLIGHTER WHEN I DON'T NEED IT



Monroe, I agree with you.  That's the truth.
 
The difference is, I don't think the wheels have fallen off the apple cart that is Ohio football.

The damn cart for the season ran in a ditch, smashed into a tree, and exploded into a million pieces.. that part is true.
 
My real point of contention with you is, you seem to be thinking the ENTIRE PROGRAM is in the ditch, and I think it's just this season.

I recognize that perhaps Beau up the middle on first down seems to happen a bit too often... 

Does it really, or is it expectation bias?

Wish I had a chart of plays by down/distance.  I'm sure we could build one, but that's more effort than i care to put into it.

So, I do disagree, and yes, rub dirt on my ruptured aorta, because I know that next year, the season will start at 0-0, and my ruptured aorta will heal.

GO BOBCATS!

We all hope it gets better...a lot better.  Immediately.

It's so difficult to believe that all of our ability suddenly vanished.

But until we see better performance....

The whole point of this thread was to establish that its a multi-year step backwards!
