Just wanted to say I like your board. It reminds me of my favorite Eagle board... we're the one that doesn't turn our head from ugly truths, we face 'em head on. If you want proof of that, head to EaglePost and check out some of the threads from hoops season and our late-season ****-our-pants in baseball.
I confess I'm puzzled by last night's outcome. You guys are a better team than that, but you all know that. From what I've read, you all see the problem as being the coaching staff and not the talent on the playing field. Welcome to the world of Golden Eagle football for the past 6 years of so. Believe me, we've been there.
Giving Bower the boot was the best thing we've ever done... regardless of how things pan out. I'm as proud of my school as you are of yours, and it hurt to see the fan apathy that had set in after years of coaching mediocrity. I don't know what the Fedora era will bring, but the man set a school record for yardage in his very first game at the helm. OK, so the opposition wasn't the defending NC, but still there's reason to be encouraged. The D needs to man up, however.
We're not losing our heads (yet... well most of us anyway). I still believe that seven wins will be cause for celebration considering the monumental change that is taking place. Our game with Auburn will tell a lot. I'm not foolish enough to predict a win, but we really need not to get blown out.
Anyway, just wanted to say... I feel the pain. Last night was as embarrassing for you as our loss to Rice (F'in RICE!) last season. And, who knows, it could be the catalyst for change.
I hope our Hoops coach followed the lesson from Bower, because he's next if he doesn't get his act together this year.
Y'all seem like cool folks on this board. Best wishes, Tonto
