Silver lining

[WASU 93]

Well...the dream season died last night. The 2019 Mountaineers were not the group who had what it takes to take us to the next level. South Carolina will skull drag these guys as well...in fact coach would be wise to rest some players in that one.

However, if we can close out the Sun Belt Schedule unbeaten, GA Southern can drop 1 more and we earn a Sun Belt Title berth...a win their and. New Orleans Bowl win would out us at 12-2 and would give us our beat year yet in FBS.

There is something to play for...but it hurt seeing our coaches and players rollover and die to a 4-3 team at home. Maybe next year.

Perhaps, our goal should be to vet the fan base instead of growing it.

I’ll be at the game in Columbia on Saturday. Looking for a rebound!

After all. NC beat the Cocks; we beat NC. We can certainly play with those guys!

South Carolina will destroy these guys.

If we get a win in Columbia you're not allowed to crow about it

Just imagine if ever P5 program considered the season lost once they knew they couldn’t make one of the two playoff games. A NY6 game is the G5 version of the P5 playoffs only we don’t get 4 teams in we only get one. It’s great to want that brass ring and we should want it but all’s not lost when you fail to reach perfection. And make no mistake it would have taken a perfect season for us to get that NY6 game. When we left the FCS I missed the playoffs but truth is we’re in a full year playoff system now with only one G5 winner. I think we’ll get that game one day but for now we need to get focused on SC, the Sunbelt title and the New Orleans bowl. 4 years ago could you have even imagined having a shot at NC and SC in the same year?

Sure plenty of p5s consider their season gone of they lose games that keep them out of the playoffs. Same way the top g5s in a given year feel that way when they lose a NY6 bowl. You think Clemson will be happy if they dont make the playoff this year? Will noise be happy if they dont make the NY6 this year? No. Now should we expect to make a NY6 every year? Hell no. This just happens to be one of the few schedules we will have over the next 10 years that makes that really possible. It would be 1 thing if a NC or SC loss kept us out. But a GS loss? Devestating. The team will be crushed from this...watch them next week. South Carolina will destroy these guys. But...I'm hopeful for a 3 game sun belt sweep and a conference championship win.

We play Wake and Wisconsin in 2020, that should give us a shot at the NY6 game. As for how the team responds to the loss, Im going to guess they hatted losing. Their certainly not use to losing. I have absolutely no influence over how they respond but I’m going to have a little more faith in them they you do.

1. You arnt neccesarily important enough to decide who gets vetted. Your resume and donations to the program need to be laid out first.

2. We cant afford to vet fans. Have you been to our games? When ranked #20 vs arch rivals no one came. You better hold on to me for dear life! Lol

The silver lining for me is this - I DON'T EVEN HAVE TO CONSIDER PULLING FOR THE HOLES, so last night watching UVA beat them gave me some therapy
