Maybe they aren’t as smart as people think up in C’villeThere could be reasons like the weather. Even though the 2nd string qb was in, he sure is a good player. Lets be real, the hoots gave up by halftime. Also, the way they think in some of their curriculum, those folks only have credibility by the name of the school and not the people in it.

If addition to not being smart, they are "soft", especially on defense. Of the 11 players on defense, most of their tackles seem to be made by 2 or 3 players. On offense, their playbook is like "another team" I am familiar with. They only use 1 page of playbook and have no running game. The most over rated 6-6 team in nation, (now 6-7). Mendenhall is full of "hot air".

Now I'm not so sure.

Look at what happens to Cruzan when he/she gets frazzled. Grammar, punctuation, spelling and syntax all become flexible.

I'm assuming you use poor grammar for the attention it brings, because some things you write are very readable ( The quoted comment above, for example). At first, I attributed it to old age, by my 78 year old father makes more sense with his written/typed/texted words than you do and he still uses a flip phone!

My father served, cooked in the army, and he doesn't speak or write that way, nor does my stepfather (CPO). 2 grandfathers, both Colonels, demanded proper grammar and etiquette. Maybe that is old man stuff, but aren't you an oldie, too?
