Maybe for one season and then the discussions would be why can't we get over the hump.  Wanna know how I know this?  Because we were there and that's what happened.

Fair enough, I can appreciate that, but at least we didn't have a glass ceiling like we have now.

I'm confused .... I thought we were just held to 27 points by Gilbert?

I was going to blame it on Holts.

Then I suggest that Gilbert stop calling for those plays that have the qb and receiver on the wrong page (of that imaginary playbook) and the ones that call for wr to allow the ball to drop harmlessly to the ground after hitting him in the hands .....

The smartest thing you've said today is that next Friday is a rivalry game and a tossup so we'll just end this convo on that agreement.

I know I know it's always an execution issue for you. at what point will the coaches be at all to blame? have we just not executed this entire season?

it's so obvious even the newspaper writer is asking questions.  announcers talk about it.

where did I say anything about this game? he is claiming they haven't faced a defense this tough. I just said neither have we. and we haven't faced an offense as tough either.

Maybe I failed to explain myself. My point is that I don't understand how someone can believe that we will get destroyed.  

Their success seems to predicated on a high scoring offensive attack that has not played a formidable defense this season. On paper, we are a much better defense than anything they have played this season, not the otherwise.

Now maybe we are fake, or maybe Mike Love, Bruce Hector, Deadrin Senat, and Greg Reaves, as advertised, decide to play the game on their side of the line of scrimmage. If the latter happens, which I believe has a real chance of being true, their offense would stall, and they haven't proven that they can win a grind-it-out game. Navy came close, but when their starter went down, they couldn't score either. 

Again, I don't think you can just assume that we will get destroyed. They haven't proven they can beat us. This is on top of the fact that it's a rivalry game and anything can happen. 

That's just my two cents

I'm a big believer in Harry S Truman and the buck stops here.
In my opinion everything is on the coaches.

If the players repeatedly cannot execute then the coaches aren't recruiting right, or teaching right, or calling plays the players are capable of executing.

Should Taggurt shoulder some blame, too?

That’s easy to say, but I think it’s a bit disingenuous. 

No, I do really mean it.  I would rather see how we stack up and it would set the bar.

Great feeling to be 9-1, I don't know what all the fuss is

We saw how we stacked up. We didn't. 

We don't stack to good in this "crappy" conference yet either
