I learned a long time ago not to post when I'm pissed off after a tough loss. Honestly, I don't get that pissed after a loss anymore. Must be the old age.
You win today! Excellent post for the time.

Its alright man, you just switch up what you get angry at as you get older.I learned a long time ago not to post when I'm pissed off after a tough loss. Honestly, I don't get that pissed after a loss anymore. Must be the old age.
He should quote posts or cite posters. It just sounds like an “everybody is dumb” type post.
Age, ahem, I mean experience, does have a way of shaping perspective. In the end, college football is just entertainment for most of us. That said, yesterday's game took the wind out of my weekend. A close, hard fought loss would have been disappointing but not as depressing.
And I learned seasons never go the way you predict in July and August. Some go better. Some not so much. The Maryland game was one bump in the road on the journey.I learned a long time ago not to post when I'm pissed off after a tough loss. Honestly, I don't get that pissed after a loss anymore.

Amen to that!And I learned seasons never go the way you predict in July and August. Some go better. Some not so much. The Maryland game was one bump in the road on the journey.
One thing I notice is that when we think we're pretty good and we get a body-blow loss suddenly we get posts that the players are too small, too slow, not talented enough and that the coaching staff can't recruit. Nobody was saying that before the loss and they don't say that after the next big win. Yet it's the same players.
It’s “we” when it’s a win and it’s “they. “ when a loss
My favorite is when people throw out possible reasons for a poor performance, and then posters come in hot with “those are just excuses!”
In other areas of life we typically look for reasons or factors so we can mitigate them in the future. In football, it’s “there is no excuse!”
Holy hell. Friday Night the US National Soccer team got routed by its arch nemises. The Mets spent its weekend underperforming against one of their divisional rivals (the one i happen to despise most). Cuse well ... The Giants played as anticipated.
But in the end, the weather was beautiful. I love my family. They mostly seem to love me. I'm in good health. Better games lie ahead (they have to right). The ability to compartmentalize, rationalize, put things in perspective, whatever, is a great thing.
The only irrational fan thing i cant get past is that i now refuse to put the stupid Maryland Crab/Flag decal thing I bought in Ocean City a few weeks ago on the Thule.
That's why I avoid reading things from people I don't know or respect.The same dopes who virtually disappear when things are going well have nothing better to do then dump on players and the staff after a bump in the road.
Bunch of know nothing know it alls.
We got beat by 43. I think Maryland is good and I'm not that upset but I don't get all indignant over people thinking it's worse a bump in the roadThe same dopes who virtually disappear when things are going well have nothing better to do then dump on players and the staff after a bump in the road.

I think back to the ‘01 season. 59-0 to Miami. It doesn’t define the season if u get smoked once or twice.
Dino will right this ship bc he’s a heckuva coach. We aren’t as bad as we look and we weren’t as good as we looked after WVU bowl. Anyone who had us 8 wins ish should realize it’s still an 8 win team. At Maryland was a test. We failed, school isn’t over though
that miami team might be the best team ever though. we don't know what maryland is (I think they're pretty good)I think back to the ‘01 season. 59-0 to Miami. It doesn’t define the season if u get smoked once or twice.

Locksley had too much success too young. Everyone thinks he sucks because he sucked at new mexico. and he might've been a drunk - horrible fit there, what they're doing now makes a little more sense with some service academy bob davie goofy offense. Years learning from Saban. It'll be interesting to see.We’ll find out more on Sep 27, they host Penn State on a Friday night.
Hard to believe they’re this good this early under Locksley, that will probably be the reality check we weren’t able to give them.

everyone but chip: yeah, kingsbury probably does well with chicksTrue, just seems weird that the success would be so immediate. Especially with so many transfers.
And yeah, taking a guy who recruits DMV well, and seeing if it translates to New Mexico is like watching Matt Patricia and Kliff Kingsbury on opposite sidelines and wondering if they are the same species.

chip: my god, look at him, he's like a different species
i still want to believe that 44 year old guys with a weight problem and beards that start at their lower eyelids aren't eyesoresYou said it, I didn't.
Ok, I probably did.
