Has There Ever Been a Year Setup Any Better for Us?

[Rollo83]

We have a veteran team on both sides of the ball with playmakers at a lot of positions D & O. We catch the East Division in a down year where nobody's worth a damn. We avoid the three toughest teams in the West...(Ball State, Central & Western)...on the schedule. We get our nemesis...Miami...at home when their having a terrible year. They start a freshman QB in his first start and a back-up RB.

How do you screw that up?

I'll take a stab at it and say coaching.

I don't know, you have to ask GB.

Hmmmmmm.



I'm trying to think. Give me a second.




Losing games to teams they should have beaten.





Still thinking.





Nope. I give up. Nothing is coming to mind.

With the team we had returning, coupled with the schedule we had to face, I felt in the preseason that we couldn't have asked for a better setup. I don't think our own coaching staff could gave put together a better schedule if they could have hand picked it themselves. Our crossover games avoided CMU, WMU & BSU, we hosted teams like Miami who always gives us trouble and EMU who we always beat. What more could we have asked for? Well, seven games into the season, I still feel that way, except we have just wasted away opportunity after opportunity and we have all but thrown this season away. I don't know what is more painful, having a good season come unglued at the end, or shooting yourself in the foot out of the gates? Either way, we always seem to finding ways of doing one or the other annually.

This should have been the year. This season was set up perfectly. And we are blowing it.

Schade, I think you can change that to past tense, that is, have blown it.

To sum up what we've done with this great opportunity this year.....we've pissed right down our leg!!!

Trade you Greg Brandon for Shane Montgomery. Heck, in the spirit of the season I'll even throw in a pumpkin-carving kit.

[factman]

How about you take'em BOTH!!

No thanks. I don't see us going anywhere with SM at the helm.
