Gentlemen!

This is a trying time. A time of full of desperate feelings. A time of bewilderment, shame, anger, and disappointment. We have watched as defeat has painfully and pitifully pulled the glory of victory from our paws not once, but twice. We have have seen the snare of death reach out and touch our men of battle, decimating our second line of defense. Our leader has fallen pray to poor protection, hindering our offensive production to near uselessness, which in turn has hindered our beliefs in our strategic minds. Ay, these are trying times indeed.

Alas, now we find ourselves at the crossroads; and as we ponder on the weeks past; the bewilderment, the shame, the anger, the disappointment, the despair... We find ourselves with a choice. Quit now and be defeated like spoiled child getting whipped; Or act like men and rise above the occasion. I for one am not ready to declare defeat. I am not ready forfeit victory. 

 

This is a 16 week war of attrition; a lengthy challenge of skill, discipline, heart, will, and commitment, and whilst' we have lost the first 2 battles, gentlemen, we can... no, we will rise again. I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the game plans are made right, as they are now being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our home field, to ride out the storm of week 3, and to outlive the pain of 0-3, another near defeat, and more questions of our leadership.

 

Men and Women, get ready, this week the season really starts... and I'll be watching with great expectations. For the greatest of us all will lead us to victory.

    • There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.
    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
