Re: Fire Shaw! Oh wait. We won. . . . - jacketree - 11-30-2015

The subject title of the thread doesn't reflect how mild the discussion really is. I'm with Stupac2.  Also, I used to stay out of the game threads, because it is so easy to let the emotion of watching football carry over to the posts, and who knows what you might say or how stupic you'll look later.  But it is kind of fun to be honest, particularly when the too early "we're toast" posts turn out to be wrong.  I never gave up Saturday, but I'll admit I thought it was over ("Timeout! Timeout!! Timeout!!! - we need an emoji for that....)  You should ask my wife about my fan habits.  Doomsday until the clock reads 0:00.  No lead is safe. WTFs thrown all over the room.  You should ask me about my wife's fan habits.  Like watching football with a sailor. A sailor with an extensive vocabulary who isn't afraid to use it.  She was all over that time out thing.  (Todd Graham didn't call time outs while C'al marched for their winning FG either, so maybe not as conventional as I thought.)

Sure there is a lot of strategy and I've never coached a game that didn't involve velcro, but football isn't really all that hard to understand and blocking and tackling are probably more important than anything else.

But in the spirit of the dawn of the new (even) gentler Cardboard:

Awesome win fellas!!

With all due respect, I think you have the wrong religious metaphor.  Evidently we're not allowed to question and instead have to accept as truth whatever dear leader football coach does, because who are we to ask such things and how dare we be so insolent.
