[QUOTE="gtchem05, post: 820032, member: 4592"] Thanks for posting this. It was worth the 10 minutes to listen. To my surprise, it was not an excuse-laden take from Collins. I thought it was pretty matter-of-fact, actually. One reporter asked a question about a specific poor decision that a player made, and Collins went out of his way to take responsibility for the error rather than blaming the player (as any coach should). This was a horrible loss and a pathetic showing. It was another comedy of errors that made our student-athletes look bad and our coaches look much worse. That being said, the season has to play out. Win 6+ games, and this game won't matter very much. The reason most Tech fans are so upset with this loss is not the 1 game it adds to the L column, it's what it says about the reality of where this team is right now. Many of us were buying enough of the hype to think we could make a bowl game this year. This loss is so bad because it is a very poor prognostic indicator of what is to come. As others have said, the program is on the brink of declining to a low not seen since 1994 (or perhaps even worse). At the same time, this despair could be a distant memory by the end of October if the team can somehow manage to string together a few wins against mostly beatable teams outside of Clemson. I live over 1800 miles from Atlanta and am experiencing a little buyer's remorse about the tickets I bought to the homecoming game, but I'm not giving away my tickets (I definitely wouldn't be able to sell them right now, that's for sure). Even if the coach needs to go, I believe the student-athletes are deserving of my support. Time will tell. I'm no longer optimistic but will still tune in to see how it unfolds...or unravels as the case may be. [/QUOTE]
