Re: Fizon Vs. Funnies Game day thread
What part was being seen through blue colored glasses? Is it an inaccurate statement that in FCS, teams tend to have big swings in terms of the quality of their teams? Is it inaccurate that SIU has 2 wins this year and last year's national champs also have a losing record and NDSU sucked balls just a couple years ago? Is it factually inaccurate that SDSU has an uphill battle in recruiting when compared to most D1 programs (including other FCS schools)? I was born and raised in SD and still consider SD my home, but I hope it isn't a surprise that most people can't point out where SD is located on the map (other than to say "it's way up north, right?"). No team is immune from having down swings regardless of the coach. Saying otherwise is not looking through any sort of lens, it's closing your eyes and ignoring facts.
It's ironic that you claim I missed the point and then wrote a statement proving you missed my point. I didn't reference people saying Stig should be fired. In fact, I specifically wrote "(n)ot saying people are hating on coach Stig, just saying he doesn't always get the credit he deserves..." Stating we are a middle of the pack NCC team turned into an upper tier D1 program is also a factually based conclusion. Not an interpretation relying on my love for the Jacks. (By the way, several posts on this board have openly questioned whether Coach Stig is still the man for the job. But I was not referencing those in composing my rant.)
The team hasn't been good for the past 2 years. Agreed. Our offense is not good. Our offensive strategy is not good. Our defense is not good. Our kicker can't make a 5 yard FG. Is that a product of coaching, talent, lack of depth, poor facilities, improper diet, THE ECONOMNY! or a combination of everything? I don't have an answer for that. I know our D-line and O-line aren't playing well this year. Our teams in the past won because of great line play. Domino looked like a beast at LB because he had room to move thanks to a dominating D-line. We ran the ball like crazy because our O-line moved houses. This year that's not happening. Answer the question why and you could probably be first in line for a new potential hire at SDSU (although you'd probably leave for greener pastures soon if you were that good because we can't afford to keep you.)
By the way, I do see things through Blue Colored Glasses. I have done so unapologetically so for years. One of my 2 year old's first spoken phrases was "Go Jacks!" Not to get all philosophical on you, but everyone looks at things in life through varying colors of lenses. I just happen to believe life seems a little crisper when looking at things with blue SDSU glasses. To each his own.
Fact: Mike Struck may be the best announcer EVER. Just putting it out there.
