GAMEDAY QUOTES

Zach Smith...
Elizabeth Sherman, SicEm365

“I feel great. I feel confident. Seth (Russell) has confidence in me going out there and leading the team, and I feel great, real excited, maybe a little nervous, but I feel like that’s a given. I’m just going to go out there and be a leader and try to execute this offense.”

“I’m really excited. I’ve been looking forward to this my whole life. It’s really heartbreaking what happened to Seth, but I mean I just have to honor him and go in there and do what I know I can do.”

Ryan Reid...

SicEm365
“(Seth Russell) teaches everybody the mental part of the game – to stay poised no matter what situation we’re in. It’s a big loss for us, so I feel like I have to be a better leader.”

“I feel like we won the physicality battle at Oklahoma. The mental errors come from distractions and from not worrying about what’s in front of you, and that’s something I just have to keep harping on with everybody.”



Blake Lynch...
Elizabeth Sherman, SicEm365

“I think it does help me be adaptable, but I don’t really feel like I’m the new guy here. I’ve been here for a year and a half, so I’ve been around the coaches and I’ve been around the system so I think I know it pretty well. So it’s really just getting back there and following the big guys because the O-line did a great job.”

“I played quarterback and running back in high school so it was natural for me, but really, I’m just doing what the coaches ask me to do.”

For the remaining games, it should be all about the future. Play the under class man who might be part of the future whenever possible. Any guys who were expected to be leaders going into this season and have not given 100% should sit assuming we will still have 11 to put on the field.


Coaches don't give a flip about the future of our team. why would they help the future coach out?

I'm surprised by the reactions here. Total lack of effort isn't going to fix itself. The season is over...there are just games left on the schedule. We aren't going to win any of them so save your anger and let it go. It will all be over soon enough.


Won't lose to ****ty Tech
You're wrong but it's ok. You are an optimist and I appreciate your optimism.

There *IS* a plus to this season, however, the attendance for that game will likely kill it going forward and we can go back to home-home.

What you are seeing isnt a matter of getting beat by better teams or players (KSU is neither). It is a team that is ready for the season to be over and a fanbase that is right there with them. We do not have the ability to fix lack of effort (or as I call it "give a damn") right now.

It's not the end of the world, this was fairly inevitable. Think of all of the free time you might have!

I think they are just exhausted, like the rest of us. These students have known nothing but winning. They'll rally quickly.

Meh, it's like an abusive relationship. Most of us will be back, we cant stay away...but a break was needed for some. You cant really fault people for not spending what little free time they having watching this product.

Building a fanbase is easy...just win, everything else falls in to place.

Thats in your head. Tech can't run the ball. Tech can't stop a nosebleed. At worse we may have to boat race them 45-41 something like that. You could start posting on their board though, they love negativity over there.

I'm okay with purging t-shirt fans. Like the meme said, "I have a Baylor shirt because I went to Baylor; you have a UT shirt because you want to Walmart." Let's keep it that way.

If we kill alumni support... that's just pathetic of the alumni. ***** and moan all day, but never abandon your alma mater.

T-shirt fans dollars are accounted for through licensing agreements; alumni dollars go straight to the athletics department. gg ez

Several "t-shirt fans" donate to Baylor. You should want all you can get.

I srsly doubt the fair weather fans who would quit on an odd season like this were the ones donating.
