The amazing aura of 2020

[MadNY3]

Maybe it was because it was a slow, painful, week-to-week atrophy of hope combined with political, social and pandemic hysteria, but I am amazed how numb/totally over with the 1-10 season we just had.

I wish I had this insulation during the GRob years.

Special thanks to Jim Harbaugh, Denver Bronco QBs and Florida State to contributing to the What year of football.

I am with you. I’ve never been so emotionally detached from our team and results. Did I still watch every game, start to finish? Yep. Was it the same? Not even close. And I think it directly correlates with the lack of fans in the stadiums around the country.

That doesn’t make 1-10 any better. But in 10-20 years, this season will be a blip in my memory bank, because it just want the same.

When I first read that Chris Elmore would be our starting OG, I was pretty much prepared for what occurred.

No spring practice.

Our two best RBs opting out.

The injuries.

For me, this year was as Babers put it, an asterisk.

Honestly I probably watched less than 20% of snaps. I just could not get into football this year. I also wanted to take advantage of the weekends with the nice weather knowing that the late fall and winter would suck. I don’t know what to call this season. I really don’t. Does it deserve an asterisk? I don’t know. What I do know is that the team played hard, got 11 games in which is amazing and had an incredible COVID response. The kids certainly sacrificed a lot and deserve to recharge over the holidays. I’m hoping that this season will spring board the team into 2021. I remain positive for next year, this season can only help to improve the team for next year.

You forgot to add sporadic fall practice and two new coordinators; one being a full on new scheme. Honestly, I ain't even mad.

That was healthy.

I still don't put the asterisk because it was a (bad) extension of last year when we also did not have a strong OL. And Q White hasn't developed, but somehow the defense in a short amount of time with a lot of freshman did OK.

For a team not bit by Covid (other than two good RBs), 1-10 is still should not be permissible IMO, but it kinda doesn't matter. I actually think it will make us better next year. I do.

True.
