[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 872993, member: 1640"] Yeah, I get why the phrase “they quit” triggers some people. And I’m sympathetic. These young men travel a tougher road than most of us ever will and they deserve our appreciation. What we mean by the phrase “they quit” is important. Anyone who has ever been totally whipped during an athletic contest knows that after a certain point the mind and the body no longer respond. You are going through the motions, not because you are doing everything you can to try to will yourself to be competitive, you just don’t have it in you. It’s quitting less as an act of defiance and more of a rebellion within your bones. The last two games of the year, if you have shown no progress, and seem to be regressing, there is no film review or coach’s chewing out (or consoling as CGC likes to do) that will make any difference to you at that point. You are ready for the season to be over so you can regroup for next year. So here are our choices: 1. The team quit. 2. CGC’s recruits are really not very good. 3. We watched the worst coaching job in the history of Tech football. I understand that some will argue it was all three. But I would argue that at least one of those has to be completely, unequivocally true or you don’t finish the season losing 100-0. [/QUOTE]
