Comments
I know it's necessary for certain reasons, and that all coaches do it, but Fuente is an absolute pro when it comes to coach speak.
He sounds really good. I like watching him at a press conference.
When is Cornelson going to be available?
he's coaching the backup qb
It was interesting in the player interviews how they wouldn't give anything
away regarding the offense. Like a question, what are your biggest weapons this year
would be met with "we've been working really hard and will be a tough team."
That was interesting.
So the emphasis will be on toughness and playing as a team? I like that - I feel like we could have used more of this the past few years compared to when we first came to the ACC with a chip on our shoulder.
Let me translate that coach speak about handling the ups and downs of a game into something easier to remember:
... eliminated picture that was here: may be too graphic for good taste. Motto was: Determination, still finishing even when shit happens.
I love how everyone is looking at him in disgust...
Noted. Have attempted to soften impact of graphics somewhat by eliminating them. :--), Sorry for temporary lapse in good judgement.
