Windy's football discussion thread.

Just curious.

I'm not criticizing it I just don't get how people can enjoy something like football or sports in general with no expectations going into it.

Different strokes.

Apathy makes it easier to take the losses and makes the wins more enjoyable.

 

[malinoisvol]

The optimism is being slowly ripped from my body.

Not my thang.

 

[malinoisvol]

Week 2 pick'Ms are up.

 

[malinoisvol]

OMG just posted.

 

[hmanvolfan]

Not my thang.

Didn’t used to be me either. A Tennessee loss would make me mad for three or four days. But the past ten years or so have turned me into a you’re gonna have to show me person.

 

[Orangeslice13]

Ok
It could be that I’m in an airport in NY with nothing else to do but........

It got me looking at some things and it’s actually interesting.
The number of freshmen and sophomores who played is ridiculous. If the upper class that actually made the field knows their about to be replaced it would explain the poor attitude seen on the field. It would also explain the comment “I liked the effort “ as he would only be talking to those who were recruited by himself.
I’m not sure what else he can actually say to us that he didn’t say last year. “This isn’t getting better till we recruit 25 more to go with the 6-8 doing it right”.
I’m really not happy about the loss but my mind is a little more open than it was 2 hours ago.

Hell, there are losses that I have been pissed about for decades.

I think this is plausible. At least I hope it is.

except the QB - he recruited Mauer and Shrout -- I wouldnt give up on Chandler either

I haven't broken anything in years, but I still have expectations. If I had no expectations at all, it would be any fun for me. Like I said, just different strokes.

 

[Tin Man]

Tempered by time and experience, I await the unfolding of the rest of the season.

do you expect to beat Alabama and Florida every year ?

 

[Behr]

No.

I do.

 

[malinoisvol]

Pick the BYU score is up.

 

[508mikey]

No.

but there is always that maybe for me -- when I see OSU losing to Purdue last season and stuff like that -- so I keep watching with that glimmer of hope

 

[508mikey]

Pick the BYU score is up.

several wannabe comedians are already hijacking it

 

[Orangeslice13]

I do.

Me too

I kinda thought something close to this on Sunday.

What if... CJP has thrown caution to the wind and he's playing all his young guys in front of the upper classmen, in hope, that 2020 will be the rebirth of UT football.

I wish I had a crystal ball.

 

[tnuhcvols]

I dont frequent the ff that much, I read a little hear and there. I was optimistic that 7 wins was the floor and possibly 8. I am never going to be critical of the coaching because of possibly so much more than is reported is actually going on. How can you criticize when you dont fully know the circumstance. I definitely have alot less optimism than 3 days ago, and without seeing a minute of the game it sure sounds like we didn't even pass the eye test. Being an optimist, what slice mentioned about the uppers just going thru the motions and needing more time will be my hope that we are still on the right track.
