wow, just looking at those numbers, you’d have no idea we’re a mediocre team doomed to a 6-5 season…

This is an open blog, right? So, we are open to saying anything we want, right? So, Dan has a right to say just ridiculous comments, right?

That means, I get to type what I want!!

You really think we’ll go 6-5? Give me a break. I’ll give you this…we could easily lose a couple more games this year. We have our work cut out of us this weekend and for the rest of the season. Furman will give us their best. GSU will too. Chatt is up-and-coming, and Elon is damn good. But we have a defense that has shown signs of being great (see 3rd and 4th qtrs at ECU). We have an offense that can score on anyone (if we can clean up the stupid penalties). We have to take “one game at a time”, but we’re a hellova lot better than 6-5.

I think he was being sarcastic.

“We get a pretty good bang for our tucks.”<== Win.

I think the whole point of statistics is to explain to haters like Dan that we are NOT a mediocre team. What stats do you have to back up these 6-5 allegations? None? That’s what I thought, because all of the numbers (see above) point to a great team that destined for yet another great season.

thank you skjelly….

Dan, I am pretty sure, was “hating” on all the “haters” who keep saying we are awful…

Fair Enough. Replace “Dan” with whichever hater you please……

Ditto, ASUPhan!

There’s a big difference between an ignorant hater who’s just venting his frustration at the teams’ two loses and episodic poor play, and a realistic fan who wants the team to play well and win but recognizes problems when he sees them.

What we have this year is a potentially great team that has not yet put it all together. There’s nothing wrong with fans discussing the problems we have and what we ought to do about them–that’s what knowledgable fans do. For those who just want to rant, well, it’s a free country, so I suppose you can do that too.

But if all you want to see here is boasting, whoo-hoo comments, you’re going to have a pretty boring blog.

By the way, the Gridiron Power Index has us at #19 in the land. Elon is ranked #8.

18.6 pts per game and 15 in the SoCon are numbers I will be keeping in mind tomorrow. We know Wofford is down this season and we know our defense hasn’t played to potential. Holding the Terriors to under 20 points would be a big step in the right direction. I’d be happy holding them under 25.

Dan shut up…If we win there is no reason to sit here and whine about anything. We’re not just gonna cake walk to the nat championship, we’re only normal bud…remember that

There are a lot of folks here that need an adjustment to the sensitivity of their sarcasm meter.

Plain text isn’t exactly the best format for recognizing sarcasm.

someone needs to invent a sarcasm font.

Hmmm….. Italic?

actually, it doesn’t even matter since we can’t alter the fonts on these posts anyway.

Fonts can be altered, but it has to be done in HTML

fantastic. guess who doesn’t have that capability at work?

How about from now on I just assume that Dan is being sarcastic…..

How skinny is number 35 for app in that picture? cant be more than 150…

Actually 35 looks heavier than AE in most shots…

Only hours to GO……

Naysayer, I’m going to let you finish but, Dan is the worst commmenter of all time!

I DID IT!

Unanswered points is the key to the game.

glad to know i have taken the title from naysayer.

Clayton, still have your aviators?

Dude, I lost them again. But, its cool. Doesn’t count for away games.

Funny thing. I picked up the sarcasm right away. And I find myself agreeing with Dan most of the time. It’s the newbie fans who are most sensitive. Haven’t been around long enough to 1) understand football; 2) understand the up-and-down nature of college teams (FSU anyone?) or 3) exhibit enough maturity to know that one can be a critical observer and still be a fan. So like you know you like youngsters like lighten up or like chill, okay dude?

A lot of our fans have become jaded too.

parking lot – My vision isn’t what it used to be, but I don’t see a #35 in that pic. Did you mean #25? If so, that’s Jared Reine, a Jr. DB. He’s listed at 6-1, 185 lbs. in this past Saturday’s ASU program.

Test to see if HTML Really does work…

Test 2
Test 3
Test 4

Bold i’mz a geniouz

Arial font works?

oh well, anyway … 25 is our DB Reines *sp who hates being physical and cant tackle well….

Why does he still start? ask Mr. John Wiley…

Why is Mr. John Wiley Still there? I have NO IDEA

Wow this showing emphasis stuff is really effective!

see what you’ve started, Chet.

Well Jared starts because McDuffie hasn’t picked up on the new position as quickly as I’d have liked. I hope to work McDuffie onto the field as the season progresses.

I guess I’m still here because Jerry and Charlie think I’m a pretty good coach. Several of the scores my D has allowed came on short fields and players’ blown assingments. Couple that with Cobb has yet to receive your application for the defensive coordinator position.

Nice Try!
