Guess what? The sun came up this morning. There is no getting away from the fact that last night's football game vs. Elon was a beatdown of the first order - a nightmare if you will. Murphy's Law was never more apparent. Furman was thoroughly outplayed in each and every aspect of the game by a very well prepared and excellent football team. Paul C referenced that awful beating we took from Kennesaw State just a few seasons ago. What we did not know at the time it is that they were on their way to becoming a real title contender in the FCS in a very short time. I suspect that may be the case with Elon. That's the good news. The bad news is that, as fans, there is absolutely nothing we can do about the disaster we witnessed. That is in the hands of the coaches and players, both of whom took a terrible hit to the ego and confidence yesterday. They are the only ones who can right this ship and I think they will need us to get behind them and offer all the support we can muster. We have been praising the wonderful coaching job done by this staff since we went on that 7 game win streak last year and had every reason to believe the program had made a turn for the better. Apparently not so fast. We displayed some major problems all over the field yesterday and they need to be corrected to the extent they can be. We simply do not resemble the team we put on the field last season and I for one do not have a simple answer why that is. We have too many of the same players to show this much deterioration. Perhaps some of our wiser football minds like Jackal and FU BeAR can help with that. CCH and his staff certainly have their work cut out for them this week. It will be interesting to see what changes are made. I want to think they are up to that task and I fully intend to be at Paladin Stadium next Saturday offering as much loud and partisan support for that effort as I can. The folks on these boards are certainly not fair weather fans. What choice do we have? Ranting and venting may help on a very short term basis but really don't do any good. It is SUCKITUP time.
great post-Jasper… the sun did come up this morning, I did wonder about that.
I have no idea what to say, I'll say it — it was a beat down in every aspect of the game.
I'll be there Saturday lets hope we turn this around.
