Why not listen to both your QB and head coaches immediate comments post game. I did compliment them to that. And they both went out of their way to explain, and I use your coaches own words, That's not who we are.".
Look, I played D1 college football. That game Saturday was hard fought. You don't disrespect the other athlete's efforts, or discount your own by being misunderstood. They did the correct, and grown up thing was explaining it was being caught up in the moment. It speaks loudly to their character. But make no mistake, if they wouldn't have done this, it would be a different story.
I come on here. I give my opinion. I compliment your team. I indicate I had reservations about both your head coach and quarterback, but I also took great pains to explain they really changed my mind with their comments after that punt.
What do I get? Overly sensitive fams. Grouped in with a small minority of every fan base that talks about your "incident." An incident I've never brought up, becuase it has nothing to do with the athletes on the field. Essentially called a backwards Midwesterner, not close to the level of an Easterner. Ad infinitium.
When some of you came over to our message boards with insults did you see me participate, or get upset over that?
Now you aren't going to like what I've have to say, but in true Midwesterner style, I'm just going to say it. When you have never played the game at a D! level, when you have never signed a paycheck, except the back of it, and when your largest investment is your house, you're never going to get it. And it's not unique to your fan base. But you off base here.
I didn't like what he did. He immediately explained it, and then your head coach did as well. This wasn't PSU Pitt. This was two B1G schools who took it to the wire, with some absolutely amazing athletes on both sides. Championship teams win games like this. PSU won. Unless the left side of your OL, or your FG kicker don't develop, you're in the hunt. Enjoy it.
