(NOTE: I have turned the game off in the 3rd quarter...I have only this to add:
This hole we are in continues to deepen: THAT ISN'T just "bad luck". The story may be different, but the general theme is sadly familiar:
"This is what HAPPENS to bad teams."
Things go from "bad" to "worse".
Bad stuff happens, but then they compound it by "royally screwing up"!
And THAT comes back to COACHING.
I'll be tempted to watch Billy's presser tonight just for an answer to inevitable questions regarding DJ's injury--but maybe I better not:
I was already tired of listening to him drone on
about "process", "responsibility" and "experience"...I wanna scream, "WHAT ABOUT YOUR RECORD, COACH??!"
Yeah, we lost DJ but we had the lead in the 2nd half. They tied it up but we were ABOUT to retake the advantage when your "SPECIAL" team AGAIN picked the absolute worst moment to instead turn that opportunity over to THEM! Sickening. You got more coaches over there than practically any other program in college football but you STILL can't execute the most basic things properly.
No, I better wait for word to trickle on through.
One of the online people, Ali or Gator Dave should have some word on ALL our injuries, especially DJ's, within the next 24 hours.
I thought I was ready for whatever this game brought our way, but I was wrong.
I find that LONG before it's over I am in truth already overwhelmed in frustration, a tense sadness I somehow DIDN'T see coming.
Losing a GAME is one thing. "Losing hope in our FUTURE", that's something else ENTIRELY--and THAT is in fact where I am AT.
It is now BEYOND a simple matter of "winning a few more games". We need to KNOW that "they" hear us--that "they" can and WILL do whatever it takes to address THAT, "Lost HOPE", first and foremost, above all ELSE.)
