Probably hundreds of small things that added up. Individual player execution, macro-level game planning, CFB NIL/transfer portal looming distraction.
Practice, planning, motivating players.
I like BWK. Stick around and try to come to the next champ game.
bruh... LOL
Go back and read the absolute nonsense in your opening post:
Are you honestly expecting Ivy League answers to those type of questions?
You are reta... "regarded", like "extremely regarded".
Look, we just didn't have any fire. I think Marshall was out there to prove a point and came out of the gate swinging. We never matched their energy. Sometimes individuals just have bad games. Sometimes the team as a whole just has a bad game. Am I upset about it? You bet. We've had w games, I feel, that we just went out and s___ the bed. Marshall and South Al. I predicted at the beginning of the season that we'd have double digit wins. Overall, I feel like this season was a success. Des has shown improvement and I think He only gets better from here. Next season could be his most challenging yet. I think depending on if we can shore up the line through the portal will determine that. And I dont think anyone can really argue that the staff has done a pretty good job of bringing in, and more importantly, develop, incoming talent. I know I come off as insufferable here, and drone on ad nauseum on things sometimes. (I can already hear some of you, "SOMETIMES?!") but I'm a huge fan, and I'm a realist. Some people don't want to hear it. I get it. I hope nobody takes any of my rantings personally. I love all you guys. And since Vic is on "vacation" I'll say, nobody aggravated me more than him. But I kept inviting him over to visit and he finally did. And you know what? He's a pretty good dude in real life.....still annoying on here, but a good dude.LoL. And I extend the same invite to each and every one of you. Would love to finally meet a bunch of you at some point. This is my sappy Christmas post. At the end of the day, we won 10 games and that's awesome! I think our future is bright, despite our frustration with our admin. But there are a dedicated group of guys that are beginning to take it upon ourselves to make things better. If we all work together and pull the rope in the same direction, we can accomplish some great things. In the meantime.....all your opinions are wrong, and mine are bold, insightful and true! LoL! J/k
No doubt, this team had a great year. And you don't win ten games in a season by being passive & soft. I agree, Marshall came in with a massive chip on their shoulder & played 60 minutes of Marshall football. What bothered me about this game though & concerns me going forward was the lack of caring coming out of the locker room. I thought this game would be a tight contest & even with losing Fields, they have the talent to go tote to toe with Marshall. I don't believe for one minute that more than 5 of theirs is better than any 5 of UL's. But at no point, especially in the 2nd half, did they show championship pride. I know this team is better than that. I hope they prove it in New Mexico.
