For those of you without decades of historical perspective, the Skov/ draft thread is nothing out of the norm for Bear Inside. Out toward the edge of the bell curve, but nothing we haven't seen over a long period of time. Churchill famously said of the Germans (he called them The Hun) "They're either at your throat or at your feet." K.al fans of sort of like that. They're either toasting their sweet selfness, or whining like hungry puppies. Which is sort of how we were not too long ago.
But I think Skov is just a lightning rod for years of worsening football and broken dreams. And Big Game finished off a terrible , awful, dreadful season. So when Skov put QB Goff out late in the game, that became the thing they fetishize. They'be be fetishizing their awesome defensive fierceness if the roles were reversed. As it is, they sort of remember the bad line play. They sort of remember a running game that wasn't. They sort of remember just how bad and what direction Kal football was headed in Tedford's last season. But they really DO remember Skov's hit. It's less painful to focus on that than a bigger picture which isn't too encouraging.Â
