I'm sick and tired of seeing our guys slip and slide and fall all over the field every time the opposing offense makes any kind of movement. Why is it that the opposing defense isn't sliding everywhere? Are we wearing shorter cleats or something? Michigan would have lost to us WITHOUT Crist if our DBs didn't slip on EVERY cut! And against MSU our last hope against the fake FG "FELL DOWN?" This is pathetic. There is no excuse for equipment being an upper hand. Unbelievable.

I'll tell you one thing. Kelly and this whole crew had better realize real fast that this isn't some podunk midwest college where mistakes like bad decision making and equipment failure go unnoticed. This is the biggest stage in college football and there is ZERO room for this.

As of right now, the list looks like this:
BRIAN KELLY DECISION MAKING LIST
GOOD AT ALL: 0
VERY BAD: 2

I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt because he has done nothing but win his whole career. But this crap is too reminiscent of Weis and it's making me sick.

This is as low as it gets. Were tired of blaming coaching and player speed. So lets just go blame the equipment manager. Next week it will be the guys who cut the grass.

Now thats too friggen funny. One of the guys missed some tape to cover the face mask and got a little gold paint on it so thats why we lost. Or they forgot to put the gold flakes in the paint.

Take the gold flakes off! This team has to earn their gold flakes.

...I'll give you this...hidden in the anger is a point about the slippage...I saw it, and it is frustrating...but I couldn't tell you if that is only caused by cleat selection...I can tell you if you misjudge a pursuit angle no cleat will hold...ie you can't drive all your momentum to your feeat and change direction 180 degrees...you fall on your ***. We still have some work to do on D...its better, but not a top 20 D.

BKs decisions seemed ok to me...but maybe that should scare you...maybe its bad a normal Joe agreed with most of what he's done so far...who knows...

Relax...its 1986...not a repeat of 2009...

we'll all be pissed this year, then next year it'll get better...honestly, I'm not sure what we'll look like after 2011...2012 could be same as 2011 because of massive losses on the O side...I pegged 2013 as the NC year...cool aid anyone?

I agree, when a player slips the equipment manager should go. I also think that Wilson should be sued because Michael Floyd has had a problem holding on to one of their balls. The cheerleaders should also get the sack because they create chaos which confuses the players when there is a faked fg. The band should be taken out one by one and summarily executed...just to show that we mean business. Then this kind of trickery will never catch us slipping and scratching our heads.

No thank you I went to AA because I was avid kool-aid drinker. Now I'm on the road to recovery.

A little extreme, but I like the way you're thinking... :)

They would most certainly cause a loss...if thats true I want me some paint boy


It is true mate...and also the weight of the gold is slowing them down and putting more pressure on their feet...make them slip!
wow we're geniuses! Kelly would've neva thought that the loss was because of these things...
Who should tell 'im?

People, this is the result of huffing too much paint in a paper bag.....

Ha, oh everyone's a comedian but no one can sense when someone is being facetious.

Yes, there was some serious problems with slipping and I'm sick of seeing it. No, the equipment manager should no be fired... that would be the part that was sarcasm.

Is anyone going to straight up disagree with the fact that our defense has been slipping all over the place and Michigan in particular nickled and dimed us because of it?

Actually it's all down to bad parenting. Any self-respecting parents would have taught their children better striding technique and better "closing speed" on the quarterback. -------- By the way, if low slippage is all you want, you want more gold on the helmets to gravitationally ram them into the ground. Of course they'd then get top heavy and fall over. Better paint their shoes with lots of gold----hmmm, but wouldn't that make them slower?? ---yeh, no way out there; must be the parents fault afterall.

We'd likely have the same record with Weis at this point, but it's way too early for the end of season collapse. Weis made Navy look like Alabama.

Do you really have The Caine Mutiny dialogue memorized to reference in a post about equipment managers? Reps to you for a 60 year old film reference.
