For this season, you have seen what we are. If a team is 3 scores worse than us, we will beat them by 2. That’s just my opinion of where we are. Do you honestly think we will see improvement the rest of the way or terrible competition?Originally Posted by eagle2180
28-14 isn't nearly as bad as it could or should have been.
Turner needs to find more options other than Allen and Harris. He needs to work on accuracy and receivers need to work on catching the ball.
Penalties are killing chances mostly because they seem to happen in inopportune times. Fix those, especially the stupid personal fouls and sideline encroachment.
There are pieces there that, if coach and team can get it together, we can pull off at least 5 wins with what remains.
That spot fiasco, with (what should have been) the benefit of replay, was criminal.
They looked at it, saw they were wrong, and upheld the decision. Not sure how that can be considered anything but fixed
The pass interference that they picked up the flag on was just as bad. I told my wife when they huddled up that they were going to do it, and they did.
I made the effort to check their game thread on their Rivals forum. There was unanimous opinion that Tech got screwed on that spot. They then were dumbfounded that we tried to go right at their best defensive player, their nose guard, on 4th and one.
Bone-afide-Dawg, you probably didn't invent CCC, but you have definitely managed to perfect it.
Stayed in the game for the most part. Beat the spread. Whatever...
I'm still seething over the total S show our HC put together last week against a HORRIBLE team.
We are still 1-0 in conference and our record is about what most of us thought it would be right now.
Not saying much but Turner is better than Bachmeirer. (sp?). Turner's long throws are awful, they float like punts, but he did complete a couple and we got shafted on a couple of non-DPI calls...oh, one was called but then changed.
The game was lost when it was 14-7 and we got absolutely screwed on that spot at their 27...excuse me, their 28, although we had actually reached the 27. It was an obvious first down when it happened live, even more obvious in the replay. Then a STUPID QB sneak...my dogs were screaming at the TV, WTF!!! they said. But then, lost in the moment of the stupid call, the refs managed to screw us again by placing the ball back on the 29. Not that it mattered, but they wanted to twist the knife some more and gave us a 1 1/2 yard loss on that play. Oh, not to say we wouldn't have lost anyway, but that key losing moment would have come later, as it was, the robbery of the spot at that point = Game Over.
I am on record as saying Coach Crummy ain't got it. He didn't show me anything yesterday to cause me to reconsider. Yo! Crummy here's a freebie, pump fake that STUPID WR screen to Smoke and then have him go up field. The opposing DBs are jumping that play and they will bite on it. We ran plays like that when we were 10 playing touch football on a vacant lot.
CUSA is so pathetic, surely, we'll manage another couple of wins. I am staying on 4-8 prediction.
You’d think that by how Cumbie calls plays that he doesn’t know who the other team is, who their players are or that he’s even watching what’s going on in the game. I sure wish I’d counted up the number of times he called an obvious wrong play for a particular situation. Just guessing I’d say it’s at least 8 and that’s in every game. Like I and many others have said his 4th down gambles and the plays he calls in those situations are downright stupid. About the only person probably jumping up and down with praise is Sharky.
UNT and NSU were idle, but of our other opponents:
Liberty 38 FIU 6
TCU 34 SMU 17
Not exactly ringing endorsements of how we faired against them.
BTW, I think it is stupid how SMU poses as "Dallas." Heck, just change the name of the school to the University of Dallas if you're ashamed of Southern Methodist University.
If you charter members of the Bulldog Barks and Bytes CCC Club gave an honest response, you would have to admit that the Dawgs performed much above your expectations yesterday. However, when you are so mired in the negative, it is impossible for you to do so. It appears to me that if you guys totally ignored Tech athletics your lives would be happier.
Appears to me if the Tech Athletic Department(and the 16th Floor) would stop ignoring Tech athletics our lives would be happier.
As for the NU game, I had predicted 38-13, so yeah, the Dawgs faired a tad better. Yippee! as moral victories are the best we can hope for, I am thrilled today!
As usual you’re commenting on something other than what I said. I didn’t say one word about the team’s performance or about them losing by less than predicted. Whoopdido! What I said was that Cumbie is a stupid play caller when it matters most which is absolutely true. If you’re basing your happiness on Tech losing by less than predicted then why be a fan at all. There’s nothing achieving in losing. I assure you, my happiness is centered as far as possible from anything Tech.
[QUOTE=eagle2180;1850332].......then it sure doesn't take much to kill the momentum for our players.
