Walliver, I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE the rational response. We lost to kennelsaw state because - among others - we lost our two best (and ONLY decent) linebackers that week. The two guys who have seen the option so many times. Rider and Johnson. Put them. In and we hold Citadel option to 19. Is that Citadel's lowest point Total,of year? Might be. Though you guys probably should have held them to 14 but they intercepted a pitch and the D got no shot to stop them. I know. W Rider and Johnson I think you would admit we strung your option out pretty well. Two,of your big plays were actually reverse flea-flicker passes! Crazy.
That said, there is NO WAY we should lose to Kenn State. NONE. I don't care if we are missing the only two good linebackers I think we have. We are a program where players have four and five years of playing together. KSU is in their second year! We have all this coaching and playing experience v a second f year program. No. Way. We. Should. Lose. I completely agree w you
That's our big issue under Fowler - and I HATE. HATE. HATE. this phrase, it's a cop out coach speak - .... But we really don't show up some games. I mean AT ALL. We got down 49-14 to kennesaw state. At half. Wtf. Then we got mad and lost 52-42. So second half was 28-3 Us. A totally different team. The last three years have been like this. Beat Samford 20-17. Lose next week to Western 45-0.
Team is totally unmotivated sometimes. Especially first half. They get behind and then come out firing. Too little too late.
Again, really appreciate your post. That's what I see too. How the Fck are we 2-7. Yeah yeah. Michigan state and FBS coastal. Then citadel and chatt. September just sucked. Couldn't have been anymore front-loaded. The ksu then a better than I thought Sammy team. So ksu ( lost to etsu?) shoulda been the gimme. Instead we roll over and hit half time at 14-49. Then kill them second half. Too late though. Finally show up in a first half vs ETSU. Kill em. 52-7. Same w VMI. You can thank us if you don't face Cobb at QB. We knocked him out of game . Didn't play today. I do hope he is ok. Shoulder?
I thin our mercer is toss up and we should(?) beat western. But fowler needs to be gone. That's 3/ 4 and 4 win seasons. After '13 socon. title.
I feel he doesn't motivate. JUST MY GUESS. We were motivated today and like you said - 'that's not 7 loss team'. I think he is great defensive mind. But not all coordinators should be head coaches.
More importantly, truly a Sad week for him. Fowler lost his mom to Cancer this week
