The Mario effect -- why we won't see a drop-off this week

[Munderwood]

He absolutely has the inside take of Krispy Kremes

So is there a Mario effect or not? Just came home from officiating football and it looks like thankfully I missed this game. should I mercifully watch?

Yes.

Came out sluggish in the first half. He tore them a new one at halftime and we dominated the second half.

They slept walk through the first half, dominated the 2nd had a few scores taken away that should have counted pick 6 Stevenson gave himself up kind of? And Parrish td run taken off the board for Clark driving a guy out of bounds. Overall looked good but inconsistent

So there isn't a Mario effect since the team slept through the first half.

We wouldn't have rallied like that under Diaz.

I never really thought the game was in doubt even when it was close like when we placed central michigan and held on for dear life. I think that was the Manny slide game

The box score looks like utter domination

This.

It would have been a 10-7 hang on for dear life victory under Manny.

Op, post did not age well.

@LeedsCane no hard feelings man, i appreciate your middle finger and Mario's impression of Manny Diaz. I mean, this thread was titled the "Mario affect".

He's alright. He ain't no DENNIS ERICKSON

That was weird. I’m still not sure why he assumed the play was over. Later on I think it was Parrish who went down on top of a defender, popped back up, and ran in case the officials didn’t think his knee was down.

Some posters are predicting a close game vs Southern Miss because players (and maybe coaches) are thinking about Texas A2M. If this team were run by Lispy's corches, I would expect it, too. But Mario has all but eliminated the trap game / bye-week culture we've seen for so long. How?

TVD too mature not to be locked in
RB competition everywhere
WR competition everywhere
TE youth wants to play, Mallory all business.
OL overseen by Mario and Mirabal, no dropoff

DL competition everywhere
CB youth wants to play
S Avantae mostly sat out, no way he doesn't focus. KK and JW are all business
LB competition everywhere

Mario, Steele, Gattis and Strong will not allow the staff or team to get distracted. I expect a bigtime improvement week over week.

Clearly: This didn’t age well
