That was bad. But we lose that game last year in my opinion.
What’s the point of that statement?
The point is that some just can't let go of their hatred for a guy who loves this school but just was not ready.
I see it differently. There wasn't any hatred in that post, just a lack of confidence in the last regime to pull out a win in a weird game like yesterday. Just because you think one leadership group is better equipped to deal with certain situations, doesn't inject hating the other one into the equation. I loved Clark as a person and appreciated our interactions, but still agree with the original poster that we probably would have lost this game last year.

I agree, and I very much like Shawn Clark.

Can we judge this team on its own merits without having to reference everything to last year? Yesterday's bizarre performance is not leading any sane person to suggest that we need to have the previous staff back. It seems irrelevant and, frankly impossible to know, how last year's team would have fared yesterday. I don't care how last year's team would have performed, I'm interested in how this year's team performs.

I know it's early but I'm starting to worry about Coach. The players seem more interested in seeking the limelight then they are in playing good fundamental football. Way too many personal foul's, not protecting the ball, and trying to thread the football where it doesn't belong. They're playing for themselves, not the team.

We no longer have the App football traditions we're used to, neither the Coach or the players.

I'm hoping Jerry Moore will help the Coach understand what App's about.
What App football is about is dead and gone. Good players will leave for more money and rebuild every offseason. Rinse and repeat.

These same complaints were made under Moore, Satterfield, and Clark. I remember Armanti catching a lot of flack for his flip into the end zone against Richmond.

As disappointing and concerning as the game was, I’m glad we decided to stink in Week 2 rather than in Week 1. The effort yesterday would get us embarrassed against Southern Miss. I’m glad the game didn’t have another 5 minutes or we would have been in trouble. 4th and long was no problem for our opponent. A lot of work to do this week and we’d better cut out the turnovers or we are in for a long season. 1-0. Conference time. Go App!
We are favored by 1.5

I think our defense will keep us in all of our games this year.
