Will heard about all the nayasyers on 6 Pack and is gathering his offensive line together to protect him.
The dreaded players only meeting.
- Thread starter patdog
- Start date
I believe it was Crumedy that said they have had a players only meeting every week since week 1. That almost worries me even more. Can't help but wonder is this causing the team to pull together or pulling them apart? I remember a couple players only meetings in high school. Talk about a disaster meeting with players that have poor reasoning skills.
42-14 loss to USM. They were very talented back then, but we still had no business losing to them, much less getting blown out. But back then we managed to lose to them even when we vastly outplayed them. They just had our number.
Not sure if it was that game or maybe the 7-6 loss the next year, but I had a fraternity brother, Carl, who was pretty much always very laid-back, even keel, easy-going who absolutely lost his **** after one of those losses. We had lost to USM every year he had been at State, so his senior year (I believe) he wanted to beat their ***, maybe more than even Ole Miss.
That game is especially memorable for me because when the game ended, easy-going Carl proceeded to bash his cowbell repeatedly on the bleachers as hard as he could, using every curse word in the book and didn't stop until his cowbell was in pieces.
Those were always extremely frustrating games.
Joel Coleman said in an article that every Monday is a players only meeting...I agree super scary that they're having these meetings and still play like they don't even know each other
I was at that game and I saw nothing that made me think we had no business losing to them. Reggie Collier ran circles around us.
Just read an article where CZA was asked about the players only meeting after the loss and he basically said they have been having them all season so likelihood of this doing anything is approximately 0.001%
Sure it is. I read it on a message board so it has to be true. **
I think you need to reread the post I replied to and my reply and then try and use some comprehension.
You said it wasn’t remotely true that nothing good came from a players only meeting. I was just providing a recent example that it was at least somewhat true.
6pack only meeting here tomorrow 7pm. No admins allowed. Get ready for some a$$ chewin!
I didn't mean that game. I meant that team in that season. The same team that beat Bama 6-3. USM was very good, but we had a better team. WE just got vastly outplayed that day.
Reggie was the first great dual threat qb. He was the first ever to run for over a 1000 yards and pass for over a 1000 yards.
They also had Sammy Winder at RB, two time pro-bowler, 3 super bowls and 9 years in the nfl. He wasn't too shabby.
And Louis Lipps, at WR. rookie of the year, two time all-pro, 9 years, and Steelers Ring of Honor. He might not have been too bad either.
It looks like the score might have been about right.
Like I said, we were a better team that year, but they outplayed us by a mile that day.
Both teams went 9-3 including bowl games. We lost our Bowl to NE because we fumbled something like 7 times. USM won their bowl game 24-21, but were playing McNeese St. for Pete's sake! Their other wins were OM, Richmond, Lamar, Ark State, E. Carolina, LT, & Tulane. Not exactly a "Murderers Row".
Common opponents that year:
Auburn - We beat them 24-21, USM lost 0-31
Bama - We beat Bama 6-3, USM lost 7-42
Louisiana Tech - We beat them 31-11, USM beat them 38-11
OM - We beat them 19-14, USM beat them 28-22
Our only other regular season loss was to UF, who later admitted they cheated and offered to forfeit, but we didn't accept, so USM was our only true regular season loss. We just laid an egg that day vs USM. Yes, USM was a talented team, but we were still better...just not that day.
We had 7 players on that squad drafted by the NFL who played a combined 37 years. We played a much more difficult regular season and went 9-2 in it, with the other loss to UF who later admitted to cheating. For some ridiculous reason we declined to accept the forfeit that was offered.
Our wins included 6-3 over Bama, who USM lost to 7-42, and 24-21 over Au, who USM lost to 0-31.
We were the better team who simply got outplayed by a wide margin that day by a talented USM squad. We finished ranked #19, they finished unranked.
