For as terrible as this team has been

You are what your record says you are. We’ve had this discussion every year for the past 20 years. We suck. Our winning percentage since 1999 would seem to validate this. We are a bottom 10 program if you take off your “real X wear Orange shirt”

this is too simplistic of a statement. Yes, we are a bad team. But its interesting that the team has managed to stay in the games. And no, thats not the same convo as 2001. Weve gotten blown out bad in past regimes.
 
Weve competed in just about every game. Kind of interesting if you think about it.

Biggest issues for me were the Duke and Louisville debacles. Had we lost those games like all of our other ACC games, I would have confidence that we would make a Bowl next year. Instead in both games we had 2 weeks to prep going up against the worst ACC teams not named SU and played our 2 worst games of the year. If we play well against ND and don't lose too many players to graduation or transfer, I will be back on the we will make a Bowl game next year bandwagon.

Totally with you.

Worst WRs imaginable and QBs who would be out of their element at FCS behind Tommy.

I love Dino and feel great about a bounce back.

Bad year though sure but how much better is 4-8?
 
Not to worry. Coach* says spring football will fix all.
Until it doesn't

Then we will blame

Location
Training Facilities
Conference
Pandemic
Locker rooms
Dining hall food
Not enough practices
Too many practices
Marrone
Gross
The negative fans who complain on message boards
The fans who rake
The band
The media
...but still not the coaching, recruiting, play calling, or game preparation

So, I gather you're blaming the coaching?
 
I think some of you guys got into the Christmas egg nog early. But sure, let’s hope we win 6 next year, why not.

I'm so afraid our only wins next year are Albany and Ohio. Liberty and Rutgers are looking like losses and we could go winless in the ACC. I yearn to be just mediocre, it hurts to be a fan right now.
 
I dont know that i get the "we haven't been blown out" argument.

Is there anyone that doesn't think 5-7 or 4-8 with 7 blowout losses wouldn't be better?
