We have some piss poor posters in here. What I am seeing is a staff that is elevating the play of its players. We come out ready to play and take the fight to our opponents right out of the tunnel. The only reason we trailed early in this game is because of mistakes -- our own and the zebras (picked up flag on block in the back is one of the biggest officiating travesties I've ever seen and even Danielson stated so in a nicer way).
However, contrary to the numerous stupid posts on here, this team has not quit on its coaches. Quite to the contrary. If at first the breaks go against you, PUT ON MORE EFFING STEAM. And they have done that. In spades.
Look, you can say otherwise, but this team is still exceptionally young. But I love watching players like McKenzie, Tuttle (cheap shotted), Kirkland, Jones, Hall and crew -- note how many true freshmen we are still playing dumb arses -- grow up before our very eyes.
We will still have ups and downs this season and 8-4 would be a monumental achievement with our youth. I've been critical of Butch, but I'm proud he is our coach. I'm going to enjoy watching this team grow up. The good and the bad.
Step back, take a deep breath, and ENJOY THE RIDE.
