With young kids and activities, I'm rarely able to watch live anymore.
These days I'll avoid the score and turn on the recording later to watch and see if we look focused or like dogshit.
Yesterday watching the recording around halftime, we were up by 14 but our defense was doing nothing to stop them and our offense had started completely stalling out. The pattern felt familiar, so I paused the game and looked up the final score. Turned it off and was glad I didn't waste any more of my day on it.
If it wasn't for Ewers coming back, I'm not sure I'd watch again this season. I do think we're a different team with him, so I'll watch to see, but I'm not sure how that will help the defense. Tech's offense had been abysmal this year. I was an optimist on PK even after last year because of his long track record of success. You can only have so many games where offenses that have been struggling look extremely efficient before you acknowledge your defense is easy to beat.
Outside of the bama game, this team is just not fun to watch. The passion, play calling and execution all have a nails on chalkboard feel. If it's not fun, why invest the time?
The bama game makes it worse, because it actually proved we have the talent to hang with anyone. What we've seen since then is our coaches consistently fail to motivate and scheme up our talent outside of huge opponents, and most weeks we look like a talented team who could give a shit about the game they're playing. Before anyone gets up in arms, there are obvious exceptions like Rojo who seem to bring it every game, but if the whole of our team played every week like they did against bama, we blow the doors off utsa and tech from the whistle. This shit is just not worth watching anymore.
