Ah, yes, the Yiddish variation, lol.Schmegma.
One half of the team was present playing nearly a full game in 3 quarters. I'd rather lose by 24 with 4 Boyle interceptions than die a slow death driven by fear of doing anything to accelerate a loss. Pathetic game plan, pathetic preparation and a wasted opportunity. That pissed me off.Was this game really that frustrating? We lost to a better team, playing with both hands tied behind our back with Boyle out on the field. If we have Shireffs back and play like this in the bowl game vs. a 7-5 MAC team, THEN I'll be pissed. For now, we lost to a top 25 team on the road with our back-up QB. It happens.
Boyle is a very poor D1 quarterback and everybody from the coaching staff on down knows it. If he's being propped up as our #2 next year, it will be an admission of failure in recruiting.Don't display this little faith in Boyle then prop him up as your number two next year in 2016. They have six quarterbacks on their roster. You can't tell me Boyle's better than four of them. There's no point in having depth at all if that's the case.
Are You kidding me !! 9 yards rushing. 9 YARDS RUSHING !!!! They didn't play the 85 Bears for kripe sakes.Was this game really that frustrating?

I don't think the coaches did themselves proud tonight trying to have installed a new system in one week. But unless you think HCBD and Verducci told the OL it was o.k. not to run block any more, you have to be blind to think this was primarily about coaching.
We didn't look like we had any confidence/emotion left after a three game winning streak and last week's hugely emotional win and having to play without our QB. It was fairly predicticable. Again, I think the coaches struck out with their offensive plan. We in fact would have been better off being conservative for a while but let Boyle run the offense. But the level of drama some of you show ....
There are 12 games. Every one matters. Beating 2 ranked schools back to back and going 7-5 versus 6-6 matters immensely when your program has been on its for 5 years and trying to rebuild a fan base. Plus, this turd probably lost the interest of a few bowl committees. Can we beat Temple? Yes. You have to start there and put together a game plan like you can. There is no shame in putting up your best effort and losing. They weren't even close to that.The staff was putting future victories in front of winning today. If they wanted to win today, they'd probably have burned Davis's shirt for no reason. This is just one game - No point in wasting future wins for a meaningless win today.
