Hey, Mickey Matthews...is that you? If it is...own up to the fact that you coached an absolute SH*TTY game and it is because of you we lost.
Thanks. That'll be all.

I don't give a rats a$$. The coaching sucked. End of story.
It hardly "sucked". mistakes made? Perhaps. more mistakes on the field or from the sideline? watch the replay and tell us what specifically you would have done so differently. If the coaching "sucked" then there should be plently of instances.
Another backrow bomb thrower. You this vociferous about that uvgay embarassment?!?
It's UVA, not uvgay. You'd think in 2013 we could do without the homophobic slurs. But hey, if it makes you feel manly to use that word in a derogatory way...go right ahead.
UVA was outmatched. JMU was not. There's 1:09 left and MM calls a run play on 3rd down on our own 23 yard line (knowing it's 4 down territory). Of course it goes absolutely nowhere so the last timeout has to be burned. Why there was only 1 with over 5 minutes to play in the fourth after a back and fourth game that was going down to the wire has been well documented on this board. This is sucky clock management. This is a pattern with MM.
I can get passed the coaches being slow with the plays and having Birdsong and the rest of the team looking to the sideline. And, yes, we had some costly penalties and miscues that ultimately put us in a position to have to make a drive at the end of the game. But despite that, the players fought tooth and nail all game and didn't give up. They're kids with, at best, a couple of years of college experience. How many years of experience does MM have? It's his job to have those kids in the best situation he can have them in and he dropped the ball.
I'm "vociferous" because when people bring up something on this board that is truthful, like calling out the coaching, or the University's lack of communication, etc. there's always a couple JMUBOT knuckleheads that try and question those people's loyalty because they think that pretending everything's always great in JMU land makes them a better fan or something.
Congrats...you win best fan award. I'll stick to reality.
