You said we are rebuilding after going 10-2. A rebuild is when you go 4-8 and need to overhaul an entire roster including starting two true freshman Qbs. I just thought it funny how you don't give Taggart the benefit of the doubt when considering his record during our program rebuild but this year is considered a rebuild to you. I haven't said anything about this year or our record. I just pointed out that calling this year a rebuild is disingenuous. Personally I think the sloppy play(penalties, slow starts, #50 scoring offense, #65 scoring defense etc) have more to do with the coaching than it does with having a new QB or having to replace starters. How about this, in our twenty year history how many times have we had a great QB replaced by even a serviceable backup? In my opinion it was once and it was great replacing great with Grothe to Daniels. Very few people had reason to believe our QB situation would be even serviceable this season and many were not expecting much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could go 14-0 and 94 would blame CCS for us not making the playoffs .... Somewhere along the line Charlie must have cost him a ton of money.

I don't get it, for 5-0 this season feels so gloomy when I read comments. Me personally, I'm excited. Even if we don't go undefeated this year, next year will definitely be awesome with Barnet and Cronkite coming back. And hell we have a receiver name McDoom that will be a star next year. (mark my words) Personally, I feel we can win the AAC this year, even with 1 loss, but believe this team can go undefeated. If we are 5-0 w/o playing our best, then this team will be a beast when we play to our full potential. Thanks. I hope I helped make your meeting a little less boring. Meetings are the bane of progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of fans apparently do this to cushion the blow (just in case it comes) as you astutely pointed out. The psycho-babble term is Cutting Off Future Failure (COFFing). The converse of that is Basking In Residual Glow (BIRGing) when your team does well. It's a little known fact! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cincy is 6-0 this year with a freshman QB that replaced a 5th year senior starter on a team that won 4 games last year and returned the same number of starters as us. I never saw you use the rebuilding excuse when Taggart had a poor record and had to overhaul an entire roster including starting two true freshman QBs. Lies...I never said Barnett would’ve won the championship again. I guess you missed your reading comprehension class while a student. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
