I used to post on this board many years ago. Now only occasionally. I remember many of you sitting with my brother and I in Berkeley at The Bend Over By The Bay. The funnest part of the experience was all of us pub hopping in Berkeley after the disaster had ended. I remember walking by the player bus entrance and seeing the soft serve ice cream being delivered for the players. And seeing that weirdo Dave Bliss grabbing some for himself. All of that to say - during the darkest hour of BU football.
I must say that the talent level, lack of energy, bone head mistakes gave me PTSD back to the Steele era. I hope I am wrong but to hear Aranda say these things can be fixed by doing the little things right and not have the big eye balls etc - is just b.s. Folks, we got no talent - we don't have the big nasties in the trenches. What you saw is what you are going to get - no little tweaks will change what we saw yesterday.
The good news is what we saw from Coach Sanders and a coach GJ Kinne is the new path back to competitiveness. That is in the age of the portal, you simply have to retool 75%-90% of the roster in year 1. All this culture talk and not doing the little things right was not really an issue for those two teams with brand new rosters. TX State had more talented players on the field than we did. So, at some point soon, we need a new coach that is willing to take this route to a speedy recovery. Key is the right Coach and staff that know how to evaluate talent - seems like GJ did a pretty good job of that - although they are not great - they are way better than last year.
Thanks for allowing me this cathartic moment.
