The present is what really counts in moving forward. We had a down year because of some poor coaching decisions, lack of team leadership, some lack of talent, etc, but we could have and should have been better, period! While you can get upset over some nobody's opinion or not, we should still hold our staff accountable for the results.

Yes, we put it on our rival. We beat aTm and USCe, but all 3 of those teams would have beaten at LEAST 2 out of the 3 (USA, BYU, UK) we lost to on any given Saturday. That's what bothers me the most about this season, and IMO, that's a great deal of underachieving.
Exactly. I find it hard to believe that we don't have another kicker who could have been as good or better than Graves with a hurt back and that Aeris learned how to block as soon as Holloway got hurt.

At least Dan said he needs to be harder on our guys in the offseason so hopefully he corrects some things so this doesn't happen again.
