end of first

IF
you would have told me we would start this bad and only be down 5 I would have said you were crazy. I think we have a great chance if we start playing to our capabilities.
damn
they need to roll him, or move him, let him play, dammit.

they're
not moving him.
seriously, they’re asking him to take a seven step drop sometimes. he sucks at that. okay, maybe not suck, but he’s not that great at it.
move him around, he’s good. make him stand still, he’s average.

I am
not the pissed yet. We are playing like crap and are still in the game. We aren’t hanging our heads and quiting like we would have last year. This could be a blow out right now and we are still lurking around and have a chance to win. I think we are just as good if not better then V-TECH. Just need to start playing to our abilities.
So
what games did you guys watch today?
since it’s half time.

well it
looks like this is over. Wow didn’t think I would see this with Bo at the helm but we are playing worse in the third.
If our offense can't get the ball moving,
this is how the rest of the game is going to go.
If it's not broke, break it, then charge a lot to fix it.
Virginia Tech has
scored 10 points and we have run three plays this half
If it's not broke, break it, then charge a lot to fix it.
maybe
maybe we can just keep them at 28 for the rest of the game….it will be better than our score average was last year
they
look the same as the teams that got beat this weekend.
USC – looked like they didn’t give a damn.
earlier today – Florida looked like they ddin’t care.
Ohio State – against USC was beat before they walked on teh field.
we don’t seem to have fire.

Hey
at least we played until the end and had a chance to win. I feel better about this loss then any we had under BC. We looked like we gave a shit and it wont be long until Bo has us playing with the big boys. We did it tonight and will continue to do it all season. I still think we will beat either Mizzu or TT if not both. Good job Big Red.
