Ok, if it wasn't for the fact that I just can't bring myself to desert the team in the middle of a game, I'd just stop watching. This is perhaps the most pathetic display that I've seen in quite a while. I said that today would tell us a lot about this coaching staff, and it has. Everything that it has said is negative. We aren't ready. We aren't focused. We've got no answer against a team that, while very talented, is not nearly as good as some of the others that we have played much closer this year.
The story of our program right now was summed up by the commentators when Simms attempted a long pass to Gerald Jones (after the aboslutely stupid bungled snap that resulted in a 20 + yard loss) . . . "He ALMOST made a play." We have been "almosting it" for two seasons now . . . and when we haven't been "almosting" we've been getting blown out by 3 or more touchdowns. I'm sick of it. Getting beat is one thing. Beating ourselves and looking like a bunch of wide-eyed, double A high school players is inexcusable.
I'm sticking with the team till the end of this one, but I am sick to my stomach. I felt like puking right after that awful botched snap a few minutes ago. I don't understand how freshman players for Alabama, Florida, and other programs seem to avoid big fumbles and big mental mistakes. The late hit a second ago on that punt return? What the hell are these guys doing out there?
Sorry about the rant. I'm done now. Gotta get back to watching the game on ESPN3. It's like stabbing myself in the eye over and over and over and over again.
