Glad you asked.  I had two expectations and a 'want' from the outcome of these 3 teams.

Expectation #1 - 0-3
Expectation #2 - showing up and being competitive
[I]Want[/I] - I wanted to go 1-2 versus the [I]big 3[/I]

The complete no show on both sides of the ball lost me Saturday.  All 3 coaches (Babers, Long and Beck were awful) as well as the players just mailing it in.  Saturday was Marylandesque in my opinion.  I don't mind losing, I mind looking like a pop warner team, in of terms prep, coaching and effort.  It was embarrassing.  If Carolina was 40-24 instead and we actually forced them to punt a few times, it just has a different feel.  It gives you hope for the season.

I don't have time to dissect everything that burned me, but seeing us down 17 or 20 points, getting the ball back and the first two plays Beck is calling two runs in a row between the guards?  Or a Villari wildcat ??  Throwing TE screens to Villari??  It's frustrating.  Babers punting on their side of the field 4th and 6 when we need scores.  frustrating.  All the 3rd down conservative drop into coverage BS defensive calls.  Frustrating.

Clemson was a game we played like sht.  I can't get over the 57 yard goal attempt and then his defense of it.  The kicker is going to get a record?  w t  ?

Florida State is going to embarrass us again on national TV.  It's not that we are going to lose, it's the way in which we will lose and everyone knows it.  It'll look like a GRob team. We won't be competitive Saturday.  I'LL EAT CROW IF WE ARE and would love it because it'll give me some hope going into Blacksburg then.
