Bobcat Love's Sense of Shame

I will give you the benefit of the doubt and chalk your post up to a hangover rant. I have no time table with regard to resignations as you seem to think. However, it is abundantly clear that a plethora of mistakes in judgement got us to where we are today. I am hardly a feelings centric type of guy so perhaps a little projection is the guilty culprit with that flawed analysis. Whatever the case, we are in a mess that many saw coming, the powers that be seemed to cross their fingers and wished everything would be fine. It is not; players, fans and alumni deserve better.
The lack of self awareness required to insist that Ohio Football's 0-4 start is somehow a symptom of "our sad age" and then to state that you're not a "feelings centric guy" is pretty hilarious. As if you arrived at that convoluted conclusion by crunching the numbers in some objective way. The reality is -- as anybody who pays attention to your posts here will tell you -- that you're pre-disposed to believing the world around you is changing in scary ways, and you manage to comport completely unrelated things (like Tim Albin being a bad football coach) into that worldview of yours.
Further, your post didn't even make logical sense. In the first paragraph you start by suggesting that Nate Silver might be able to develop a metric to measure "teams that had hopes of winning their conference to utter desolation with regard to wins and losses and statistics all within one season." Suggesting that at the beginning of this season, we had hopes of winning the MAC. Today, "we are in a mess that many saw coming." How do those things logically follow? If everybody saw this coming, who was it that was predicting that MAC championship?
So, we're simultaneously at the top of Nate Silver's new metric of under-achieving teams and predictably bad, and people should hold themselves accountable by resigning, and if they don't, it's a symptom of our "sad age."
No feelings there. Just sound logic.
