We lost. We don't need to crucify our coach or our quarterback or the referees or our previous coach or our gameplan.

Hopefully our team will get over this quickly and prepare for a gruelling 60 minute slugfest against Florida State.

There is no time for pity and no time for blame.
 
Hopefully our team doesn't read message boards and chat rooms. Not everyone, but a lot of fans on the message boards turn rather quickly. Most need to obey the 24-hour rule - don't post for 24 hours after a loss - that gives you plenty of time to sober up.
 
Everyone needs to calm down methinks. We still have a chance to finish the season 10-2, which would be our best in exactly ten years when we finished 10-2 in 1998-99.

CPJ will rebound this team just as he did following the VPI loss...FSU better watch out.
 
Evidently not , for many at least.

We should win every game. And only other coaches are allowed losses.:rolleyes:

According to my poll, most on this board believe we have overperformed this year. I fully expected a losing season in the transition. The defense has performed better than I expected until today when it seemed to be off. UVA gets credit for playing hard, but too many missed tackles lead me to think the defense expected an easier time than they got. It was bound to happen as they have carried us with emotion in most other games.

I think the expectations for this team were also inflated. We haven't been that much better than the teams we have beaten. The record we have is still remarkable given the way things went in the spring.

Times like this lead me to question the myth of the "classy Tech fan" as compared to those delusional folks in the SEC who implode under the slightest adversity. Some of the fonts remind me of petulant children whining and desperately seeking someone to blame.

That'll teach me to read the board after a loss.
 
Dignity? We lost a FOOTBALL GAME today, or did you not pay attention? If you were half the man you claim to be, you're scarfing painkillers, washing them down with some Everclear and easing razors into your vital organs.
