I said it, and I meant it.
Our coaches have done a great job so far turning around a 1-10 program that got completely stoned by UConn and W&M 2 yrs ago. Saturday morning if you had told me we'd be hanging around at the end, I'd have been delighted.
having said that- we were promised "good to great" this year and we aren't getting it. we won the first 58:14 minutes of that game and managed to lose.
we're good. At times. we're not great- not close to it.
and I truly believe the play calling last night cost us. Say what you will- for whatever reason, we went away from what was working- and it cost us.
To become "great" the coaching staff will need to make better decisions during games, and if the personnel is the problem here- then recruit better kids. No, its not easy- never said it was. Nor am I a coach. So feel free to ignore me. But as a financial supporter of the program- I take a personal interest in it. I also tend to get emotionally involved.
not sorry for either of those things- and STILL a FLAMES FAN!

Monday is basically the only day I have free time in the evening....I get upset because its as if you thing because people don't call they must not be as big of fans as you...it may not be what you mean, but thats how it comes off, I have 17 credit hours and work 2 jobs 45-50 hours a week...i am not complaining about how busy I am because I brought it on myself...but its by far the busiest semester I have ever hadthepostman wrote:bigsmooth wrote:i was not there, but i listened to it and yeah you could second guess play calling, but the bototm line is the defense did not make the stops in the end...end of story. props to SJ for reeling himself in afetr the comments he made. this is a messageboard to vent and question, but sometimes we should all step back from the keyboard and relax before we post. we can still win the big south which is an attainable goal, and i feel we will. now everyone who has questioned rocco and his staff, pickup the phone and call in tuesday night and ask the coach. i have no problem with venting and second guessing, but if want an answer call in.and I will send an e-mail...I can't call in because I am working, but I do listen and I have sent in an e-mail the past two weeks...and I will be e-mailing again this week...maybe not looked upon as good as a phone call, but some of us are busy most of the day 5 days a week
postie you seem to get upset everytime i talk about calling in. e-mail, do whatever, but i am busy daily as well and i seem to get a quick phone call in. but as SJ said anything is good.
