Fan since mid 80s as a kid, alum through early aughts - spoilt rotten.
Can't wait to NOT be a mope.
Seen patterns over the last 2 decades. Seen the whole game change and us get left behind.
All been said here ad nauseum.
Was never a Mario guy, because gameday Coaching matters;
BUT the trenches matter still, and QB matters - so there's 2 of 3 key elements he had under control based on inheritance and portal, so I had reasonable expectations that he could take the talent we DID have and show that an allstar coaching staff matters right out the gate, despite his CORching tendencies because I HAVE seen that happen with other programs - enough to avoid a SOMiss, aTm, then MTSU showing.
Had us ceiling of 8-4 and 9-3, floor of 7-5 preseason, witha bunch of one score losses to decent opponents.
Not this crap.
One cannot reasonably tell me that we should be favored in any remaining game at this moment.
I think with a poor showing for the rest of the season, coupled with the myriad other factors working for and against us, recruiting will become un uphill battle moving forward. Hope to be wrong, but don't think I am....
Mario's a crooter, but alot of that is predicated on the product shown and emerging. This does not inspire confidence.
Mopery continues until proven otherwise.
Can't wait to be called out for it later and will own it when we are all sucking each others' ****s over the return to glory.
I just don't really see it happening.
Am going to ruin my Saturdays for the forseeable future anyways and gripe along the way.
Amen.
