I'm no bitch. I'm taking the loss, as painful as it is. If I had a hat, I'd tip it to Vandy, with a 17th century flourish, their coaches, players, students, band, fans, all. We are 4-1, headed God knows where. AS the old school boys used to preach, "Back to fundamentals!" Eye discipline, poise, intensity, focus, no out of bounds shit, no classless kicking the ball as the better team take a knee shit, no throwing into coverage on the first fucking play of the game shit, no failure to get a single three and out shit. Fuck, guys, try to put together two consecutive plays in which we don't fuck up!
Last year I watched with Mr. Burns-rubbing-his-hands-together-murmuring-"Excellent!" glee as Diego Pavia and NM St humiliated Alldumb in Possum Hair Stadium. Karma's the bitch to all gloaters. Then, in the off season doldrums, I saw where Pavia had transferred to Vandy. Hmmm, good for Vandy, said I. Then I checked our schedule and saw this game. All I said was, "Oh, Shit!" I've said it every week since then as I watched our wafer-thin, no tackling defense give up extended drives to the likes of Western Kentucky and USF and damn near blow a 30-3 lead to Georgia. After Georgie, I was thinking somewhere in my lizard brain that, SURELY WE ARE PREPARING FOR PAVIA AND HIS HOUDINI RUNNING GAME.
Right? Wrong. Unless something changes drastically team-wide, my guys will do well to have a winning season in conference. I'm not getting on Kalen DeBoer unless this crap carries over to next year. The Tide goes out on a regular basis nut it always comes back in. Hook 'em if they can't take a joke. I strongly recommend the Horns defensive brain trust study that nasty tape from yesterday. Try some run blitzes or something. Don't be a catch and release defense. Vandy plays at Kentucky this week. Watch UK beat the shit out of them. Never give up, Joe. Bama's puck and girt have writ her name in Crimson Flame. Well, get to writing, you NIL prima donnas.
