You are picking a random and irrelevant point in time that you are trying to sell as utopia dressed in mediocrity. Dumbass. No one gives a F but you. Most people with self respect actually celebrate accomplishing something
Brakes are cut
- Thread starter fluoxetine
- Start date
It’s not random you stupid ****ing idiot. I’m defending this thread. The thread you are in right now. The time I am using is the time when the thread was posted. Are you honestly too ****ing stupid to understand this?
It would be perfectly reasonable not to care, and if you don’t care maybe you should go to another thread and not this one that is from January 2023.
Jesus ****ing Christ.

The problem with the general sentiment of "but 23 months ago we were a top 10 team" is that it was 23 months ago for a week.
Every month we get further and further from that moment.
How many teams since then can claim the same thing?

It's also a random and irrelevant point in time that meant nothing. It's not exactly the same as saying 23 months ago we won a national championship. We can't even get into the tournament. People are celebrating rainbows and unicorns
The other guy is a dumbass but I think you can understand the difference between
"23 months ago we were a top 10 team and so we should be positive now" <= not saying
"23 months ago we were a top 10 team and so it made sense to be positive at that specific time" <= saying
The thread was created when we were doing very well. The thread made sense in that context. That is the only thing I am saying here. FYI I am not the one that bumped it.
This thread was delusionary blather that proved to be untrue. What exactly was the big payoff when we were 'doing well'? I forget. If it's the kenpom from 3 years ago, well, standards I guess.
By this logic you aren't allowed to be negative either until the season is over and the "payoff" happens. So shut the **** up until March.
Not when you can continually go back 2-3 years at will and call out the bullshit. That's the part you guys keep missing. Stop the constant gaslighting and watch the reaction go away. Or keep doing it, keep getting proved wrong over time and keep annoying people. It's the legacy media play book. So how about you you stfu until we actually do something. Bye bye for you for a long time!!
Do you consider yourself more of a football fan? Just curious.
Like both equally. Just want to actually win something. I don't get overly excited by mediocre. It's better than bad but not something I want to celebrate
I...
What are you not understanding? The thread was made 2 years ago. I didn't bump the thread. No one is going back in time. What are you even talking about?
Disappointed. Easy schedule and we underperformed. Massive injuries played a role but Greg easily cost a game or two with bad decision making. Football is a very different lift though. Much easier to turn over a roster of 12 vs 105. Greg needs to be better. And so does Pike
Got it. So does that mean you are okay with a typically 7-5 to 8-4 coach--which is what Schiano tends to be (going back over his whole timeline, barring that one big year)?
It's your fault that I spent like 20 posts bashing my head against the brick wall that is Ridge 22.
Yes.. definitely your fault.
If he continues to deliver mediocre seasons for another 2-3 years it maybe as far as Greg can take us. Again, Greg and Pike are not linked together.
Not saying they are just curious where you stand on Greg. But I got it.
Both need to do better. Pike has had more time and has a much easier task. Especially with 2 unicorns gifted to him.
If 40% of gregs starters were 1st round picks and he couldnt even get us to bowl then rightfully so his seat should be on fire in the case. Pike could go 0-30 and hed still get 2 more years due to buy out imo
What is one of those was a left tackle who was 6’7’’ 360 and can run a 40 in 4.6 seconds, but wasnt very good at pass or run blocking yet
What if he was very good at those things but received zero coaching and just got a slap on the ass and was told to go get em squirt?
I gotta give you credit, I was mega-pissed off and over Pike after the OSU game but you've taken your disgust to the next level and aren't letting go.
You don't have to take my advice, but for the health of the board, I wouldn't just dwell on our ineptitude. I've said this before but rail against the coach in the offseason when there's no games being played. He's not going anywhere anytime soon so don't turn this place into a cesspool of negativity if others want to be positive. The "f this, F you" stuff needs to be toned down as well. This is what I tell you if I was a mod.
Points taken. I would add that many did share these same concerns last off season and were shouted down. That drives a lot of the frustration you see now. It seems like there is never a good time to discuss reality here
I agree that there is a lot of wishcasting sunshine bubbles and all that b.s. However, it's done as a fan and for good reasons.
The reality is (and I agree with you on this) is that with the PIke contract we are stuck for the foreseeable future with mediocrity and shouldn't be settling for that at this point.
