re: Perspective is a funny thing

"Luck" is just as much of it as anything else.

Everyone is quick to blame the head coach when we don't win championships, as if the coach is some miracle-worker who wins and loses games by himself, but like most sports, football is a complex sport with a lot of variables that factor in to each play, each drive, each game, and each season.

Look at this game vs GT right now. Our team has been playing very well. Coaches are calling the right plays and the players are doing what they need to do except for two usually sure-handed players coughing the ball up on the 1-yard line. I can't blame those two plays on CMR, CMB, or anyone else except Chubb and Michel, who have both played very well for us so far this season. We should be up 21-7, but are tied at the half instead. Should we blame CMR for that?

It's very frustrating to fall short year after year, but that's how it is for over a hundred teams year-in and year-out. Living in a state where fans are excited about going to a bowl game has changed my view on things, and I think it's ridiculous how many fans get so irrational.
