Does an eternal optimist (aka sunshine pumper) ever expect a let down?
Perish the thought!
Sunshine Pumpers are a special breed. They are not merely optimistic, the glass is always half-full types, no, no! They can watch their team get crushed 63-0 and say, hey, the defense forced two punts, so it could have been 77-0! And then they will attack those who dare say, Hah! we got our azz kick! Then they'll recall a game from 40 years ago when the defense didn't make any stops....so there!
No let down? Did we change coaches?
Here's hoping for more heroics from Jaylon and Amik!
This just happened, btw. Skip just wolfed down a big steaming pile of dookie.
Well I experienced a letdown tonight. After last weeks big win, I thought this might be the year we finally win the championship. I was so excited this week. Thought for sure we would crush UAB. I no longer believe a championship is possible under Holtz. If he stays the most we can ever hope for is a minor bowl game against a school nobody cares about. No conference championships, no power 5 wins. It seems we cannot even develop a QB.
He is exactly what most of the East Carolina fans came on here and told us he was years ago. He will occasionally overachieve by accident but he is middle of the road 7 wins a year. They also said that he doesn’t adapt well and that’s one of the reasons he is middle of the road.
Now we needed a steady hand and some consecutive winning seasons and bowls but now we need to take the next step and is lack of willingness to play any qb not named J’Mar Smith, and his pedantic play calling, his actually causing regression in the program and fan base. Couple that with the desicions made in the AD’s office and the wheels aren’t just coming off, they are 10 rows into the grandstand.
