Win

Yep.

How is the loss a a culture problem? It is an endurance problem they got tired near the end of the third quarter. They got tired and that is when they got sloppy.

The more and more I hear about a "culture problem", the more I just end up hearing "it's not my fault".

I'm getting sick of the broken record. Time to just win.

It's almost like a president that spends his first 2 years in office talking about how crappy the last guy left it. Nobody wants to hear that, just do your job and make it uncrappy.

Look in my eyes, what do you see? The cult of personality.

Doesn't apply to anything in this thread, just a good song.

It actually could apply. As frenchy says, this is a sophomore coach. Let's see if he can impose his personality over the historic personality at UAB. It's him or IT. If he wins, we win. If IT wins, we lose, again, and again, and again.
I'm betting on coach. I want him to win. I want him to tell the world he's got the cods to right this ship, and then I want him to do it.

This team simply does not know how to win. The culture is a losing culture. We need something really great to happen soon.

How about Saturday?

Yeah, but that doesn't come from "believing you can win".

Fake til you make it only works so far. You have to be conditioned, prepared, and skilled enough to win. Our confidence should come from our ability and practice, not some belief we can win.

Just win, baby!

That could be helpful.

"If they (the players) totally believed it (that they are capable of competing for a conference championship), they wouldn't have blown a 14-point fourth-quarter lead only to lose in overtime."

That's a trite statement. Sometimes crap just happens on the field irrespective of what's going on between the guys' ears.

So if our belief was stronger than Troy's...we would have won?

Not everything is rainbows and unicorns. Belief didn't cost us that football game. Poor defensive schemes and bad clock management did. Also a blown snap didn't help. I guess our long snapper didn't believe enough.

Troy players were cramping up every other play in the second half. We were tired too but in better shape than they were but it didn't hurt their execution. So, I don't think endurance was a problem.

Some cramps looked questionable.

Agree. But it was incredibly hot and our own guys were cramping all over the place, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

we are better then last year personnel wise but we are still thin everywhere
we dont have many senior as starter and it show when thing get hot .;..the freshman and sophomore ...they just panic and become timid
again lsu ,,it will be a simple offense ,,and we will be tired ,,,we need to get a big lead and hoping lsu f,,,up at the end
it will be a good preparation for the league and the vandy game

That's what I'm talkin' about. Crush them Tigers with a hob-nailed boot. You tell 'em, Frenchy!

Me, too. It was a crampy night. Saw the same thing at the high school game I was at Friday night.

I do think you find out who the better conditioned team is on a night like that.

Hot Nail Boot baby!
