When did you know this team was different?

With all due respect, MILF might be an appropriate tag line

I do dig alliteration, and it will say “Maude” next to it. Do not, however, think of myself as one. Will take it under consideration.

Keeping this thread back on topic…

Bullying Notre Dame and defensively it grew and grew and by FSU I knew the defense was absolutely elite

The great thing about the D in the FSU game was that by halftime I was 100% sure we had zero issues containing mobile QBs.

Ending the season with 4 straight wins and dominating Pitt at home, in the cold, was the confirmation for me. I was not going to be convinced until I was able to actually see us close the season on the ascent for once.

You can ask anyone that knows me, im an advocate of trench play. I knew it would take a minite but after we hired Mario and landed Cici and Bain off rip, i knew this day was coming soon. But i knew we had something special after beating ND week 1. Jobs not done tho...!

when they beat the ever loving **** out of Pitt.

This, that’s a game we have ****ed away before or turned it into a dog fight. The defense was lights out and the offense moved up and down the field.

After the big pitt win. Also when we went in half 0-0 on road against A&M, i knew this D was for real against a very good team. It would be epic to beat Jeremiah smith and hated Ohio taint and move to the semis. Go canes!

If he is the most important factor, Beck has to be subcorollary 1a

Definitely. But Dawson controls Beck. I want to get Beck's confidence really high by having more wide open receivers. The playaction does this with the threat of our bruising run game. It allows ol to engage blockers further downfield when we actually run it as wel.

I want more max protect as well.

Beck was seeing ghosts. Our pass game is disconnected from our run game. Dawson has married his pass game with Mario's run game but hasnt brideged the to well enough.

Too many of our plays seem to be Frankensteined together because theybcome from different philosophies. I know I keep talking playaction but we dont fake the run nearly enough.

Dawson's creativity on tape the last for games opened up our core run game, but he didn't ride Fletcher. If he installed more playaction off our core run conceptsit would make everything we do unstoppable and we would win the championship going away.

Notre Dame game, which made some of the wins and especially the loses maddening!

NCST. How many times has the passed over, underrated local kid played us and just dropped his nuts all over the team? It was ripe to happen. NCST had beaten GT, a whole week to prepare, big players coming back that game.

We absolutely hammered them. At that point I knew. If we could sneak into the playoffs we had a chance. Because they were focused. Everyone was locked in.

Saturday. The other games we won this year was us beating teams we were better then. Saturday was real adversity, real pressure, real stakes. They never looked shook and dug it out.

It came about in the Gator Tears thread the other day, and was very kindly created for me by @RVACane.

As his avi features Bea Arthur (Dorothy from The Golden Girls, who also starred in Maude), I am now blessed to have my own Golden Girl avi!

Thanks again, RVA!

Edit: and yes, it is Phoebe Cates from Fast Times!
