Why the overconfidence vs BYU?
- Thread starter D.X. Bible
- Start date
Valmy-
Ease up there bud. I know it's been a rough 48 hours for you and the laundry list of other posters who had started booking their Pasadena National Championship tickets prior to the debacle in Provo, but there's no need to get so worked up about it. My only point is to say that coaching matters....alot....and the fact that we returned 19 starters from a mediocre football team (with the same inept coaching staff) should never have been cause for such optimism. I'm all for being positive and optimistic in life....but at some point reality has to step in and temper things a bit. Or you end up feeling exactly the way you and the rest of the blind optimists have felt for the past two days.

I love it when echeese moans because of personal attacks. He is the master of the ad hominem attack on anyone who doesn't agree with his "take."
The other party is too dim witted , too stupid or didn't actually watch the game.
Coming from his lips.....Richness.
Says more about echeese and his own insecurities than anything else.

I actually posted about the BYU game in it's own thread. I do appreciate the fact most of the board douche bags failed to show up. I find it funny watching you prance around as if you had offered some "insights"
The irony is that in your blind rage, you failed to read the comments I actually made which had nothing to do with the BYU game or DX's comment but rather at the jackassery offered by you and your ilk.
Was I wrong about BYU? You bet, so what? Already been discussed at levels you cannot grasp
Here's a news flash, no one is right 100% of the time. Your favorite tool is a hammer thus you see every problem as a nail.
When it's pointed out you are wrong, you make personal attacks, when like the blind squirrel you find a nut and get one right, you make personal attacks.
The importance is understand WHY we had problems and that takes a bit more of an understanding of the game than you can offer. but good news, I hear there is a new nintendo league starting, maybe they'll let you in.
I'm a hater, but I'm stunned still. I thought we would pound them. I think we'll beat ole miss though. Not as physical.
Gaylord, on what basis do you see us winning ?. Ole Miss is every bit as physical as BYU and is faster in getting there to be physical.
For me, the ultimate "rabbit out of the hat" rebound game was Nebraska 2010. Yet Muschamp dialed up a scheme and caught Nebraska flatfooted. I still do not know how we stole that.
However, beating Ole Miss, especially with McCoy at the helm, would top that Nebraska game.
I still cannot get over the fragility of this team's psyche. Past teams had players who would make plays to turn the tide. These guys just shrug their shoulders while they receive coaching that cannot adjust on the fly.
Honestly, it was very easy. Nebraska was completely one-dimensional. We had the athletes to execute.
"I think Manny's D more than holds it's own."
Crap, I'm not going to be a psychic or a TV Football Analyst anytime soon. Did I ever get that wrong. Not only did Manny's D blow, he's now blown away as well. Frankly, I didn't see that coming at all. I suppose the 2nd half of NMSU gave me a false sense of where the D actually was as well.
Hook'em
DX, I stand corrected. I was optimistic heading into Saturday, and said as much in this thread. I didn't flame, but stated that it's more fun to have optimism rather than predict defeat.
Unfortunately, Saturday night drained the remaining optimism I had regarding this program. Mack needs to go. He reminds me of Bowden in the waning days of his dynasty at FSU. Just a confused, bewildered, shell of a man.
That's where we are with Mack.
I will root for a win against Ole Miss, but I never again will buy into the rebirth under his watch. He has done less with more than any other coach in the country over the last 15 years.

Let me tell you the only two things I didn't take into account in my analysis:
I completely understimated the stupidity of both our offensive and defensive coaches. I had no idea they would lay such a humongous egg in formulating the gameplan and making adjustments during the game. I also thought that a trip to Provo, Utah would be enough for the boys in burnt orange to actually come out and try. Boy was I mistaken again.
We lost that game because our coaches and players are complete pu$$ies. My analysis was otherwise right on, and hence why everyone is so pissed off - we should have won that game.
I'm still in complete shock.
DX Bible called it for the most part - I will listen to you more. Nobody called that our coaches would have such an epic fail of a gameplan.

Actually your analysis was pretty wrong. You sorta sound like Matt Leinart right after we beat USC.
You put waaaay too much emphasis on their game with Virginia that had a bizarre set of circumstances. I said as much. Even before you said that.
You said the QB was not very fast. I think we know that was wrong. He may not be RG III but considering he had no trouble outrunning our defense I'd say he's pretty dang fast.
Your analysis was pretty wrong and based on flimsy evidence. The fact your analysis did not even factor in the coaching particularly of Mack and Manny makes it even worse. I brought up the fact it was our first road. Brought up that we haven't faced adversity. Brought up our inability to stop the run. Brought up our trend of slow starts. Brought up our cratering against physical teams. Brought up the fact it was Major's first game as signal-caller on the road.
A rare few of us had that game pegged.
