Just for fun

Ten wins are always better than 6 and, the last time I checked, there were no asterisks against our wins pointing to a footnote that said "barely won," or "nearly gave this one away," or "had Bobo been more aggressive in his play calling...."

Ten wins are always better than six.

That said, I do have a wish list for next year.
1. Demote CMB to QB coach and hire a damned good OC.
2. Throw the ball into the end zone every now and then.
3. Beat UF and Tech (again)
4. Beat a top 10 team.
5. Win the SEC.
6. Run up the score to 70+ on at least one opponent. (Dunno why. I just want to see us do it. Preferably somebody wearing orange.)
7. Have CMR take a page out of CTG's book and rip ass on national television after somebody screws up.

LimeyDawg, you have my vote. Might add to number 3 . . . Beat SS in Columbia. He has two now, don't want him to go any further.

wlayton, don't care much about talking about football achievements. My greatest accomplishment is a beautiful 4 year old little girl. Sorry, just not much for discussing the playing days. Only coached in high school. Had more to think about than myself so I decided to take a better paying job that doesn't involve the risk of relocating. All that is irrelevant so we will leave it there.

Good with Limey's chart. With you too Buc. Want to see us really hand him a lop-sided one.

Wart, what did you say you would be happy with this year? How many wins? Did you think we were going to win the NC? Just remember it seemed almost all agreed they would accept 9-10 wins.

Nope.. never said or thought we were going to win the NC.

Never put a specific win total requirement on the team. I hardly ever do. I just want
them to come out and play competitively in every game, and not lose games because of
stupidity or lack of effort. If they do that and 10 is the best they can do, then I'm
happy. If they could have done better than 10, and didn't.. then I have an issue.

I'm not the one basing everything on win totals. You seem content because we reached
a number of wins that made you happy, so it seems you are the one that bases your opinion
on win totals alone. That's what I've heard over and over. You've ignored a ton of specific
issues and just keep talking about reaching 10 wins.

Me... I don't care... I just want to know why we don't even attempt to move the
ball a little closer when our crappy kicker is less than 50% from outside of 40
yards (not to mention why crappy kicker is even still the one we are using), or how we don't find a way to incorporate one of our best weapons and get him the ball. I just want to know why our 2 most discombobulated offensive performances came in the 2 games when our OC had the longest amount of time to prepare. I just want to know why we haven't had an O-line in 4 years, and STILL people are talking about how it may be an issue yet again next season.

Wart, never put anything on wins or losses. I am happy we won 10 because you don't win 10 unless something is done right. Period. Call whoever down you want doesn't matter. If you are constantly willing to give Petersen credit for winning 10 pointless games, then I am giving CMR credit. Yeah Boise always beats someone they shouldn't, but they also always lose to someone they shouldn't. Nevada, and TCU was not the TCU of the past.

Haven't ignored anything Wart. There are many issues for a bunch of teams. That is football. Hate to break this to you, but no matter who we have as a coach, I am betting play calling is going to be questioned and there will be issues. Also, willing to bet 18-22 year old kids are just going to mess up. Just going to happen. If you can't learn that, might want to watch something else.

Use Saban as a bench mark, look how he played his overtimes. Very conservatively. Les Miles same way. Hard to believe fans demanded him out a few years ago.

I don't remember questioning the O line in 08 or 09. Didn't think that was anywhere near our biggest problem those years. Believe defense was the issue then.

As to your other point, any coach will tell you they fear long lay offs. Preparing is a lot different than playing Wart. Lay offs are a coaches nightmare call and ask any of them.

You can belittle me all you want... act like I don't know what I'm talking about and talk about how you're Mr. Football or whatever.. go right ahead. I don't need to learn anything.

I know when and when not to question coaching. When it's not applicable or not an issue, I
don't nit pick every call. When it's systematic.. year after year... I do question the coaching.
