What is it about this team?

.....
Again...I'm not going anywhere. But i don't have a problem with anyone who wants to do something non soul-crushing on a Saturday afternoon for a while. I will continue to have my soul crushed....but i'm starting to see fewer and fewer people alongside me. And maybe that's the only real way to initiate the change that needs to happen right now. Because we all know it can't stay the same.

This is where I come out. For years I coached my daughter's basketball team each fall, and watched these games mostly on DVR. Now I can watch live, but since I'll be watching every Patriots game on Saturday, that means sacrificing both days each weekend. If they team was showing me something, if I still had hope...as I still did coming in to the UCF game, I'd be there. I watched the whole debacle Saturday, but that's it for now. It's back to DVR.

Hope springs eternal, and I'll be back. I'll always be back. And I can root for a team that loses, and plays just comes out on the losing side. Games like @ Missouri last year, and even Navy this year are good entertainment. Against ECU I saw a team and a staff that stopped trying, against a lousy opponent.

Conference realignment permeates everything.

No matter how bad the Giants/Jets/Knicks/Sawx get, the next year, they still play the Cowboys/Pats/whoever/Yanks the following year. It still matters.

We spent a generation waiting to play the Big East football programs, and now we play Tulane. It's not rocket science.

THIS.

Plus the fact that we cry and whine about playing Tulane et al. Lots of complaining about playing inferior schools.

And then they beat us, too. Donkey-fist. (I'll steal that.)

I'm only done with Diaco. I'll support the team, but Bob has to go. The energy needs to come from the players on the field, not just the crazy guy in the clown suit. When you have a guy fist-pumping after every field goal that should have been a touchdown, or doing cartwheels after our opponent's missed field goal when we're being crushed, and that's the ONLY energy on the field, something's wrong. And a guy who can admit that everything's wrong after every crushing defeat but can't put his finger on just what that is...very telling.

This coaching staff is the reason many feel the need to announce they are jumping ship. It's no different than it was before the DeuscheBagg twins exited. Same sentiment by many of the same people.

CR has come and gone for now, but BD (and bad football) is still here. That is what needs to change. A coach with a plan instead of cartwheels and fancy pants is a step in the right direction. And say what you may in his defense about talent gaps and RKG's, but I saw this team come back and almost beat a good Navy team. There is talent; it just needs to be properly coached to a competitive level. We don't need to win them all, but it would be nice to compete and not be embarrassed.

Ill add one more thing, the drunken culture at The Rent is wearing thin on me.

I'd assume that for many, it's the only way to numb the pain of the football being played there. (Of course the students can't suffer much past halftime, but they're all tuned up by the time they even get to the student lot...)
