But I just skipped a bunch ot posts here as they are even worse performances.
Some of us remember worse losses, maybe not by as many points, but more unexpected than this. Who here was expecting a victory?
As most teams find out, when you take a cog out, the gears grind, not mesh. Players try even harder. Passes are too tight, players cut differently than expected, the adrenaline is rushing them. Yes, Stanford should still have beaten Princeton, but calling for the coach to be fired bwas not appropriate.
Who here feels Kate Paye is responsible for
- Agara’s injury?
- Or USC’s deep pockets?
- Or the success of Brink?
- Or the injury for Lepolo?
- Or Stanford’s academic standards?
- Or the #3 recruiting class next year?
Instead it feels like there are a bunch of people here that care only for a 90% or higher win percentage. If the win percentage drops, they want to point fingers and just say “You’re Fired!” to everyone. Is this some kind of ego thing? Spoiled by decades of success, they expect wins on a silver platter?
I don’t believe any of the noisy posters are joining the Cardboarders at half time at the WBB games. Imagine that…
Those at the games seem to be fans. We discuss the good and the bad, what’s working and what’s not. Those are fans whose interaction I appreciate.
over the last 15 years of being a season ticket holder, I’ve attended a lot of games and when we are not there our kids use the tickets. None of us has ever joined the Cardboarders at half time. That’s not a diss to those who do, it’s just not how we like to spend our half times. Yet we are still fans. So are those who have never been able to attend a game but follow the team on TV or radio. They too are fans. Just not those whose interaction you appreciate.
We can live with that.
