Not trying to overlook the horrible play tonight, but I take solace in the fact that we are Coastal Champs for the first time, played for a conference ship for the first time, and have top 10 recruiting class coming in next year. Most of all, yes, most of all, we have a coach who’s been there. Imagine if we still had AG/DiNoFries, this team would have been 7-5 and “Trust the process” for an excuse.
I also remember the growing pains before our 1st NC with schnelly, when there were many heartbreaking games, but finally hit the jackpot. In this day and age of instant gratification, it is easy to dis a coach with the calm demeanor of CMR who underneath, is a student of the game, a patient nurturer of our student athletes, is building back our program brick by brick, and bleeds orange and green.
We all need to chill and watch this program improve every year. I feel it will take us to 2019 before we resemble the team that beat us tonight. Sure we’ll be much better next year, but real and stable growth takes time, growth we have postponed through no fault of ours, but **** that just happened with That midget Shapiro and the sanctions. We are now free and on the upward trajectory. So be patient and savor the progress so far.
