Afterthoughts

We should not be a Top 25 team. We are not good. We have all the talent in the world, and absolutely no execution. Our game day coaching sucks. Our play calling sucks. Our star players can't hold on to the goddam ball, and it sucks. Thank God for our defense, or we would have gotten killed tonight, and frankly, we deserved to. Yes, I'm pissed off, and we all should be. That was straight up embarrassing tonight. To all you people saying that it's a win and that's all that matters? You haven't been paying attention. We're trying to win national championships here, not just chill out in the Top 15. We can't play like this EVERY TIME we're on national television, and ask for more respect. We have to earn it, and right now, we're earning less. The next time someone tells me that WVU sucks, I will not disagree. I'm so tired of this shit. We should be so much better than we are right now, and I just can't get over how bad we look. I love the Mountaineers with all my heart, but I hate this team tonight. This was absolutely embarrassing. End of story. If you want to disagree, feel free, but I saw that bullshit in person. I felt the pain of every fan in there. I saw the UL fans celebrate at our suckiness. We should not be a Top 25 team.

I'm not sure if I would go so far as to say we are not a top 25 team (but only because everyone else is so terrible), but I was also horrified by our performance tonight. The offense didn't even look like they were trying for most of the game. I'm glad the game lost most of its hype, because I hope that most people didn't watch it. I'm embarrassed by this game as a mountaineer.

But hey, you never know what the pollsters will think. When LSU plays sloppy the whle game, every game, and pulls off the clutch victory, that's evidence that they are the second coming of jesus.

Somehow I doubt the same idiotic standard applies to the eers.

Perhaps I should frame my anger by pointing out that I had just gotten back from the game and was in the heat of frustration. I went overboard, but I'm not changing it. I want to remember how pissed off I was last night the next time I try to defend this team.

And you're totally right about LSU vs WVU perception. We will never get the benefit of the doubt. People look for reasons to move them up, and look for reasons to move us down. That's just how it is.
