A. We lost. By 1.
It doesn't matter that we came back, that we are young, that we are "scrappy", that the moon is waning gibbous or that Scott Nix is in estrus. We lost. All these things may suggest a bright future, but mean nothing to this game. You play to win, and we lost. 9-2.
B. We are 9-2. This is awesome! Steel will take this any year.
C. Sorry, "fans." Yes while you may have a "right" to express an opinion, your opinion literally -- LITERALLY -- is without merit or meaning in any context. You -- none of you -- know a small fraction of what GP and staff know about football generally, know what they know about the health and capabilities of our players, or the schemes being run by the other side. Our coaches have proven themselves over decades to be masters of the football chess game. All you see are results. Many of you seem to get an oddly personal sense of self-satisfaction over wins you did nothing to cause, and you pout like petulant 5 year olds when we lose. Anyone calling out our coaches is expressing an IDIOTIC opinion. And should be killed.
D. Don't lose sight of the big picture. These are STUDENT - athletes. Even midway through the game as we went drive after drive on offense with no success, Steel was delighted to see our guys out there putting their bodies on the line. Proud of them win or lose. Most of them have NO FUTURE in football beyond TCU. Who knows why they do what they do--no doubt their reasons are varied. Can't you enjoy that they do it, and do it well, if not perfectly?
