Game over, with 10 minutes left.

The BC game was probably was never about the Win or Loss. It's definitely not now that the game is over, and especially not in terms of correcting course given the relatively horrible news about the off-season. Even if you would debate this, the game today was at least a statement about the INSIDE of this team, and overall, I kinda like these guys. Tough. Talented. Explosive at times. Didn't quit.

The last thing I am looking for out of this BC game is to see how the head coach responds to the media, which will ripple through the meeting rooms, practices for the rest of the week, and set the tone for the season in general. I posted about this and I'll die on the hill. If Justin Fuente calls players out by name, and hammers on the team's execution today, I am punting on the rest of this year (by making plans where I can be near a radio instead of dedicating my saturday to watching this group on television) and you might as well also. He can complete the TEAM puzzle today by OWNING this teams performance, keeping the criticism light, and going HARD on the things he liked best. If he doesn't know how, isn't willing, or is unable to lift his squad up after the hard-fought and tough loss today, especially in the public limelight, I don't see a path forward for this group.

This is critical and I believe JF will do what great leaders do. Here's hoping.

I found TKP after two rails from TOTS then walking back to my apartment and re-watching the 2012 Sugar Bowl. I woke up the next day with this username.
