"Write About That S#!t!"

Why the Boilers stopped running the ball I don't understand.  If their receivers could catch, we'd have lost.  I'm happy our underperforming team beat the underperforming team from Indiana.  There was no basis for chest thumping in Ross-Ade, though.

How many of our kids were down after plays?  I'd have to think we were at least close to double digits.  You'd think we had been playing Alabama.

I understand the against with a coach or recruiting coordinator yelling something, but I imagine the constant barrage of negativity from a fan base gets old.  Players are probably tired of all of the ragging on their coach, deserved or not.

You want to play in big time college athletics then make sure you understand the full gambit that comes it period.  You want king status when it's good, then you take all the blame when it is bad period.  This is a joke of a football team, and everything that they are criticized for in terms of FOOTBALL PLAY is completely appropriate.

I totally agree.  Look, I have coached for a long a$$ time and there are other coaches on this board at all levels and we all rip of the "fans" (parents) for being a$$hole$.  I could only imagine what it is like for these guys at the college level.  Same reason I never cared that Bo hated the fans at times...I get it, I totally do.

I think I will have a new policy if I coach next season.  I will let the parents know.  If you email me (good or bad) it will go on the football teams website for all to see.

Few things about this story.

1)  I have a pretty good idea who Sipple is talking about.  This person may not always be thinking clearly.

2)  That said, this is an anecdote that didn't need to be written.  It sounds like a grudge being aired, and a petty one at that. It's the kind of thing I expect from Lee B from the OWH. It's dumb.

3)  Conversely, if you're going to choose to write it, go all in and publish the guy's name.  It's one of a thousand such interactions between the press & the staff every year. If it's worth mentioning, it's worth mentioning all the way.  You aren't telling us anything other than that you, the reporter, don't have a great relationship with this guy.

4)  Regarding this thread, it's always interesting when new members speak with old members' voices.

I see no problem with this, actually sounds fairly constructive

I knew it. Are we talking full blown insanity or occasionally walks an imaginary dog type of crazy or just Mattyice level zaniness?

Then you should understand the lashing out.  Freedom to complain goes both ways.

 
So, what will the assistant say after the PSU game?    Most likely he'll be wearing a paper bag over his head and silently creep into the locker room.

I know! We should be national champions every year! We should never have close games, we should never need a miracle bounce off Shevin Wiggins' foot to stay undefeated, we should... errrr.... I mean, we should never rush the field after beating Oklahoma in 1995 when they sucked...  errr.... I mean... Sit Down!  Enough with that hip-hop hogwash, right?  GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!
