[QUOTE="TromboneJacket, post: 755189, member: 2580"] So what I’m hearing is that a 60 point loss would have been acceptable, but 66 is a bridge too far? Just trying to get some clarity. To answer your question, I don’t let scores ruin my whole weekend unless we were to lose the 222-0 win margin number. By the beginning of the 4th quarter, if we’re down by at least 4 touchdowns, I chalk it up as a blowout loss and say “Do better next time.” The last two times I went to Death Valley, I spent 4 hours standing in driving rain blowing a ton of air through a metal tube and cheering as loudly as I could for a team that had zero chance of winning. Then spending another hour walking back to the buses, packing everything up, and sitting in wet clothes on a bus seat for another couple hours before finally getting back to campus, schlepping all my gear back to my dorm, and finally, for the first time in about 8 hours, putting on dry clothes and going to bed. My Senior Day, the last time I got to wear the uniform in Bobby Dodd, was spent watching the dwags steamroll our football team amid a sea of red in our own stadium. When you’re not allowed to leave or stop showing enthusiasm until the Horse is over, it’s a pretty important skill to not let the score dictate your mood too much. Being angrier won’t change the scoreboard. Am I happy that got blown out by Clemson? Absolutely not. But it’s year 2 of a complete scheme/culture/recruiting change, and it’s still too soon to evaluate Collins’ performance. At the end of year 4, when he’s had a chance to develop his own recruits and fully implement the new schemes, we can look at this loss in context of the body of work and decide whether heads need to roll.
