You know...this game thread wasn't quite as bad as I was thinking last night it would be. Good job, guys.
And no BS here, when GA State scored that TD, my mother who was at the game texted that it appeared half the fans were up and leaving the stands. My reply was they should be ashamed when we win.
The whole time watching last night, only time I yelled at the TV was the block in the back call, and then the refs then got offended that one of our coaches called him out on the BS call. Other than that, I chilled with my beers, leaning back against the couch, because I knew this team had the coaches, players and overall character to make sure that when the game ended, the good guys would have the most points.
That's how I've decided to view this season. Would we like to see them blowout teams they're supposed to blowout? Sure. But we've won 8 straight, no matter how ugly it may look at time. 8-1. Only loss is to a Big 12 team (which has tons of talent, IMO, but can't close games). It's fun watching your team win 8 straight football games.
The only criticism I had was could we please kick a field goal. I know we don’t have the greatest kicker but 6 points at half would have made me feel a lot better.
Not sure what the wind chill was, but it felt really cold once the sun went down. I left at halftime to get the kids home and to be honest, watching from gone was certainly more enjoyable. Maybe that’s because of the score, but anyway it was cold.
The fans that stayed were great. Got treated to a good second half.
Credit to our guys for finding a way to win. I felt GAST was way more physical than us on both sides of the ball (outside of P Butler who was stacking lumber) and we lost the turnover battle. Lacy had two big drops that I think at least 1 probably cost TD. Either the short week or the weather seemed to have an effect on the offense. Despite all of that we found a way to move the ball and score in crunch time and the defense closed the door. Great team had an off night. I’ll take the W and clinching the West and move on to the next.
this game was to fast of a turnaround for me. Every mid week game means I leave my office at lunch the day of and usually dont get back into the office till noon the day after since Ive decided driving I10 in the middle of the night and playing deer dodge is a way to die.
I am happy to say that my friends that I gave my tickets to toughed it out till the end of the game and were treated to a great game.
