Something I saw late in the game made me question Drink being successful at App long term. They had a close shot of Zac looking to the sideline for the play call. As soon as he got the signal I saw him shake his head like here we go again. Something minute and maybe off base for this thread just something I did notice. Did anyone else see that?

I caught it too and I think it revealed a lot about the relationship between Zac and Drink. All season I've noticed Zac had a blank and ignoring look on his face when Drink talks to him on the sideline. He rarely looked Drink in the eye or showed any enthusiasm. Zac appears to be quieter and less demonstrative than his team mates but I think this is more than that.
I'm with you guys, I've felt it all year too. And have never been able to get a great read on the Zac/Drink relationship. Results speak for themselves but it definitely appeared Zac was less excited than he was last year. There is a picture from the post game presser of Zac and Drink. Zac is coldly starring straight ahead and Drink is all lounging with a goofy smile and championship hat on. Obviously a picture can be taken out of context but it was very interesting to me.
FREQS AND GEEKS!

Not to say your observations are wrong and it is just a message board but we might refrain from trying to read too much into things after the fact.

I get what you're saying, I was just sharing something I thought was interesting. Even qualified it by saying pictures can be taken out of context.

Didn't mean it as criticism. And, I caught your qualifier.

You arnt reading the posts. It's the players and people closest to the program who are outraged. Rather telling of whether things were handled correctly
I look at the same posts you do. They literally only said the culture is because of us. No shots at Eli were taken and nothing bad has been said. Meech even said he appreciated everything Drink did, Zac did as well. But be my guest at starting a mob because you think 18-21 year old kids feel a certain way of a tweet.
