I dont think im a bad fan because I expect to beat MTSU by 30-40 points.
Look at it this way, a couple years ago we beat Temple 45-22 in the second game of the season, the game before we got beat by WVU. Why didnt we use the same strategy of holding back our offense in that game. Or if we did why were able to beat those clowns by 23 points, scoring 45. Temple is/was probably a better team than MTSU. If you ask me the answer is because we suck this year. In the past, even with mediocre teams we still were able to run up the score on crappy teams, this year we dont. I for one dont like it. And you cant tell me that William and Mary or MTSU is any better than Toledo or Temple or the Citadel or any other crappy team we have played over the years.
A Couple of years ago if I remember correctly we didn't make to a bowl game. Obviously that strategy of not holding back didn't work as we lost to WVU in OT, of course then you have to factor in the up to no good loser of a QB we had at the time. But look at it this way 2 seasons ago who was the offensive coordinator, the play caller? It wasn't Friedgen, it was Blackney, different OC, play callers different styles/strategies, and seeing as how Friedgen pretty much could choose where he was an OC given how good he was I think he knows what he's doing. See what bothers me most about you saying MD sucks is you have yet to watch a game, the game hasn't been on tv except tape delay a day or two later but by watching the game you see a lot more than what the score tells you.
I didn't say you were a bad fan b/c you thought we should run up the score against MTSU but why try analyze based on old seasons.
Look at it this way, when you're out on the job do you things the same way as someone else....probably not, just like I don't teach my fourth graders the exact same way the lady across the hall teaches, hers. It doesn't make me a worse teacher or a better teacher. It's just my strategy. If something doesn't work I don't do it again, I go a different route. Friedgen has talent this year....Hollenbach ( don't underestimate his ability), Crummey (hopefully he's fine to play and he should be), Lattimore, Ball, Allen (wow what about that depth), Podlesh, Gaither, Stephon Heyer, Oquendo....you get my point I think we have a pretty nice Offense this year and once they come out of their shell it'll be a sight to see.
Defense on the other hand, they kind of go in to hiding 2nd half, it's like we have the lead so we don't need to work half as hard....Jefferson has even said they need to step it up to the next level, to get WVU's offense.
