None of the national people seem as concerned as we do on CIS.
Of course they don’t know the team as well, or watch as closely as we do. But is it also possible that we are not objective and hence we over react?
You’ve been here for 14 years. You know the answer to this question.
I saw a guy on Twitter whose “name” is “FIRE SHANNON GUIDRY!!”
We are 26-6 in our last 32 ballgames. Do you know how much of an unhinged societal liability you have to be to intentionally go into your Twitter account and edit your name to that? These are some of our fans.
I’m not saying the guy is bulletproof, but he’s been here 3 full seasons, and in those, we have:
1. Had the best offense in school history and the entire country with essentially zero NFL skill talent outside of Cam and Arroyo
2. Got within 40 yards of a national championship (yes, the defense was insane, but you can’t get to that game being useless on a side of the ball)
3. Coordinated a Top 30 offense with Tyler Van Dyke (works in the concession stand at SMU), Emory Williams (wears a baseball cap at East Carolina), and Jacurri Brown (where’s he playing now? Saginaw Valley A&T?)
And so far this year, if the season ended today, we would 100.0% have TWO Heisman trophy finalists, both from the offense.
We’re also 3-0.
Maybe a smidge of perspective, perhaps.
