Going for another score is classless crap. No need to rub it in. 2. Solich and Lembo have too much respect for one another. 3. BSU waived the white flag when they kicked the extra point after their last TD instead of going for two and trying to make it a two-possession game. It was over. 4. Why risk getting somebody else hurt to score a useless TD. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

They had multiple plays they could have scored on. Time ran out first. What did you want them to do? Call timeouts? Back to Top L.C.

Also, how would you feel if they did try that, and someone got hurt in the process? “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top OhioCatFan General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: Athens, OH Post Count: 14,405 Status: Offline     RE: Yet again...    Posted: 11/17/2015 11:18:12 PM  OHIO could have easily scored a meaningless FG at the end. Frank will *never* run up a score. I heard him say in his pre-game interview what a good coach and good friend Lembo was and how he'd get BSU off the mat next year and they'd bounce back. He's not going to rub a friend's face in he dirt. Though as a fan I really wanted to crack 50 points, I fully understand how Frank managed the last part of the game. Frank's not only a fine coach, but he's a gentleman as well. The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."

I hate coaches who quit before the game is over. Reminds me of the guys in the chat room saying the game is over 2 minutes in. Dumb. Crazier things have happened. The coaches job is to put your team in a position to win. Quitting early doesn't accomplish that. I've seen crazier things happen.

Cue Allen and Monroe. I tell the truth, I am not negative. I love the Cats, I want the best for them. The coaches and the players want to win every game and the MACC every year, so do I. I bet when they game plan they expect to win, maybe except that press conference the week of the Minnesota game where our coach showed fear, they expect to win. As a fan, I tell them how I think they can win, not how they can be mediocre. Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach.

I don't know if I can change their mind, but at least they know how I and others feel. As I said before, I like our coaches, but they have to do better. Every year a coach gets fired because fans believe they are underperforming, they put pressure on the AD and boom it's done. So if that is not your reality, then yes it is funny. You can try to undermine me and others, but you only make yourself look stupid. The fact is I am doing what I am entitled to do and my thoughts are rational, so when you try to discredit me, you have to be irrational.

There's really nothing more demoralizing to a team than having an opponent run the last 6:38 off the clock on a drive using nothing but running plays and not give them the ball back. Back to Top L.C.

It's certainly an efficient and effective way to end the game, plus it rests the defense, and builds the team's confidence for the next week. allen wrote: ...

Maybe not the head coach, but coaches always want to know the fans sentiment. The fans at Michigan got their coach fired by going to their AD's house and I am not talking about this year when they lose to Michigan State where the Ad was fired for alienating the fans. Guess, what the AD did not ask the fans. 1. Did you play at Michigan? 2. How long have you coached? 3. What are your credential? 4. Is there a ballpoint in your pocket-protector?

OT: But this jargon is a football pet peeve of mine. He is not the Mike backer, the Sam backer, or the Will backer. He is the Middle linebacker, the Strong-side linebacker, or the Weak-side linebacker. (And we're not even getting into the entire concept of a "Strong-side" versus a "Weak-side," with the players flipping sides depending on the offense's formation. Guess what the entire concept of a hurry up offense is? Get the defensive players out of position.

From my experience,posts on fan boards, in and of themselves, don't have much influence on an athletic department. In revenue sports,renewing/not renewing season tickets,or purchasing tickets to individual games, is how athletic departments are influenced. If ticket sales keep steady and "big" donors don't stop contributing,the complaints of 50 or so regular posters on a fan board aren't going to effect the A.D.
