Gameday Thread: Iron Skillet Edition

Anderson said the Frogs were better coached. Hmmm. I have to agree with the young man.

He said "better coached", for real? Was he talking about practice, etc. and players just not executing?

 

[Mean Purple]

Stop saying this. It just doesn’t work that way. The second you kick that FG the entire course of the rest of the game changes. We don’t just automatically score the next two TDs. Who knows what the hell happens????

Dude, you take the points.

Ok. I might have misquoted him. He said they coached better than we did. Reading Frogs O’ War tweet.

Dude, you take the points.

You’re very entitled to that opinion. But saying that if we had the game would have gone to OT at the worst just isn’t sound reasoning at all.

Pissed off even more now. I hope Patterson or one of his guys check the board today. Post game quotes: I have to do a better job of changing my signs. The players said they heard SMU calling out our defensive plays. How many times do we have to hear this excuse??? When a coach leaves, and you play the team with the coach, change the signs. Don’t wait until the team is beat to acknowledge that happened! Goes back to my comment—-we were out coached.

Yeah, I'm sure if they check the board, they'll find out what they did wrong, get good suggestions for the next game, identify errors made, learn what to tell the players, etc, etc. We on "the board" have all the answers.

Dude, you take the points.

I’ll be honest. I liked going for it until I saw the wild frog. Then I wanted to call a time out and kick it. I thought we had a little momentum building. One yard didn’t seem too far until Cumbie called the stupid wild frog!

 

[LVH]

I said kick the ball in the game thread. I said take the points and put the pressure on SMU

 

[Bizarro Frog]

Are the signs being blamed? If so change the F....ing signs after you have coaches on your staff leave to coach your opponents.

Wildcat sucks major balls as well.

 

[Despite the odds Frog]

I know I need to stop, but...I am so frustrated with the direction of the program. Seems like the same thing every year. Lots of hype. Lose a ton of players to injuries. Offense lacks any creativity and becomes stale. Defense become predictable and fails to get key stops. Finish anywhere with 4-6 wins and repeat the next season. Someone tell me that they see something that is going to make this cycle change.

Well, SMU can hire the strength and conditioning coach of Baylor who roided up the Bears. Does that mean TCU can hire Art Briles as our offensive coordinator? *wink* *wink*

Wife of Moose Stuff could attest to the fact that I yelled “are you scheissing kidding me?!?!?” the second they lined up and went directly to the garage for a beer. Did not watch the play.

I can see and respect where you are coming from. But with the offense not moving well consistently, that's where I say take the 3. You're right, may not have gotten the other TDs. I'm shocked we did.

Lol!!! I count you as lucky because those of us that had to watch that crap will have to live with the failed execution for ever.

I wish I could drink today.

 

[Mean Purple]

SMU did us favors too.

Gary's and his D were awful today. Allowed double digit 3rd/4th down conversions, lots of chunk plays -- and, 41 points!

They had some chunks in yardage. Burned the back end a few times. Dykes was the better coach today.

I wish I hadn't drank today.

Time for a stiff drink.

That’s all.

Why is it SMU can find receivers who can catch against 2 defenders and our receivers either can't catch or can't get open?

I was OK with going for it but don’t find a ton of fault in anyone disagreeing . It was more or less a coin flip decision for me.

Drops weren’t the issue today. Getting open was a major issue in the first half (either that or Max couldn’t see them). WR/TE play was much better the last several drives .
