Forgot the website, thought it was a couple that had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The implication was that listless first halves were characteristic of Leavitts teams when the reality is, like probably every other coach out there, there were SOME games like that. CJL's few games were memorable because it was our team and the way he tried snapping them out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing has become par for the course now and if we were to pick the top five game of cjw 15 game career with us 40% of those would be losses; if we didn't try to get down just to his best 80% of his games end in an "l". For fans that previously expected wins at home this just isn't acceptable. that game was at home. thank god army beat ucf the week before or we would have been their first win in like 20 games. that game was embarrassing to watch sorry the army game that stood out as embarrassing to me was the road one that had all of the thunderstorms and gameday on site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody who watches sports at any level know that ALL teams occasionally come out not ready to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't make eye contact with the fans, they don't look up, they don't even seem to talk to each other When Leavitt was the coach, sure we had multiple .500 seasons, we lost to teams we should have beat, and we beat teams that we should have lost to. What I see, is the self esteem of the team is just missing, and has been gone for almost a half-decade. Too much "poo rolling downhill" has fallen on their shoulders, and their hunched over from the weight of it. At this point, it's just time to celebrate what they do right, ignore what they do wrong. We're in a very dark, very evil, very desolate area of college sports right now, this program is living the nightmare that no one would EVER want to live through. I hate to say this, but I think we need to drop down two divisions, disappear from the spotlight for a couple years, and build it back up again. Join FAMU in the MEAC, see if we can bat .500, work our way back up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
