For the life of me I can’t understand how we end up with these dummies. I watch a lot of football, and Tech is the undisputed king of low football IQ players.Quote:

I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s got at least a couple more unsportsmanlike calls coming his way before this season is done.
I heard that Cumbie talked about “team” in the coaches show. He asks the players to match their dress when eating meals together, lifting together, and encourages a lot of other “team” mentality concepts. He says the guys who make mistakes on the field are the guys who haven’t bought into that attitude. I would ask why those kids are playing, but I think we have 18-20 injuries and really no choice.
When you are short on talent, sometimes you have to play the most athletic even if they have bad habits until you have some time to change the culture. We are short on talent across the board and the culture we have had for the last several years has been bad. It’s hard to change all that in one season.Qb play is important….we have QB1 that throws a good deep ball, Cumbie doesn’t trust QB2 to throw it deep or QB2 doesn’t have the arm strength of QB1. The play calling is very different between the two Qb’s.Quote:

The replays are usually only one per play and almost too quick after the original play to see and you can forget about getting a replay look at a controversial play.Quote:

More like Jumbojunk. Are we still paying for that thing?Quote:

Our Tech grads should be in Ruston in JAS instead of BR or the deer stand!
I think the difference in App and us is consistent and sustained success. We used to be consistently mediocre, but we’re not even that anymore. App is now what we used to be: Anyone, Anytime, Anyplace.Quote:

Looking forward to all the Shreveport fans coming over for an 8pm kickoff on a Tuesday. You’ll be home by 1am. It’s not that bad.Quote:
