We fought.

Yes, I’m ****ed off. More than anything I’m tired of losing Bowl games and watching our defense open games like they haven’t practiced in months. I almost broke my remote control in the first quarter. But tonight this team actually showed some heart, while last year’s squad would have mailed it in after a single quarter. That’s progress.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m still expecting Baker and several other defensive coaches (looking at you Rumph) to be replaced this off-season. If that doesn’t happen, Manny will seal his own fate...but ****, watching us NOT throw in the towel for once was refreshing.

We went from expecting to play in NC games to "we fought" against a horrible version of Okie State. What a precipitous fall.

That’s exactly what came to my mind as I typed my post. Such a shame how this seemingly endless streak of incompetent administrations have lowered the bar and disgraced a once-great program.

Why are we down 21-0 after 1 quarter? Preparation is why we lost.

Must've missed it, but did I miss the awards ceremony?

It's an observation by a poster about the game. You then went full cliché, pat for the course around here.

Should those players just put their heads down because they lost? Is there nothing to be learned here tonight? Respect for those guys who fought their asses off when they had every right to doubt their preparation and the coaches leading them.

OH, by the way, 6 and 8 can go kick rocks. I know it wasn't intentional, but you cost this team. Same with the ones sitting out.
 
I don’t know why you guys think I’m onboard with this coaching staff. Just because I’m grateful for a slightly less-toxic locker room than last year doesn’t make me a Manny supporter.

There’s often no room for nuance here, unfortunately; just par for the course.
 
These boys are cloaked in failure. How we aren’t prepared after time off is astounding. Fire the defensive coaches and manny minus banda (he recruits well)
 
No excuses for this shi t show on defense. You are correct though. Defense did not quit but only because they never started. An ave qb looked like a Heisman contender against us

At least half (conservatively) of the QBs we faced this year looked like Heisman contenders against us. This is why Baker needs to be replaced with an AUTONOMOUS DC that has full control of installing his own system..because if we allow Manny to hire another lackey who runs a derivative of his gimmicky scheme we’re gonna be treated to more of the same next year.

That’s bullshlt. That D lacked effort by different players at different points throughout the game. Moral victories aren’t victories anyway.
