Well actually I have done both and seen the difference in teams when they have had dedicated leadership and also the devotion that it takes from the players.  Where's all the hostility from to just want to call someone out over a statement.

Just totally disagree with that. There are plenty of very good coaches in all ranks of football that have bad teams.  I have played on very good teams with bad coaches as well. And I was not being hostile at all.

A team is only as good as their coaches.  I have visited this board for three years and thought it was where peolpe could vent frustration and have their own opinions whether right or wrong. If you watch a team get beat every weekend and see the potential then it does get frustrating to players, coaches and parents.  For those of you that don't come to the games and see actually what is going on I think you are the ones that need to be called out.  "Internet coaches" ha seems like everyone is.

"A team is only as good as their coaches" = False statement. You must never have played or coached.

I can honestly say I have now witnessed the ugliest performance by a college football team ever.  From the officiating, to the execution, to the uncontolled emotion, just an overall poor performance by the MU football team.

Officiating, worst ever on both sides of the line.  Didn't affect GC because they were handling business.  Wouldn't have changed the outcome, but it was bad.

Execution = Defense is bad.  It was apparent Sypult should not be leading this team.  It was with out a doubt his decision not to play one of his junior d-lineman after he jumped offsides.  Certainly it wasn't the penalty that ended his game.  If that were the case he would have benched most of his team.  The lineman he benched played 3 games injured for Sypult, missed a game and only played 2 series against GC yet he still has 1.5 more tackles than one of his replacements and 3 more than the other.  Great job Sypult.  You are way past your time.

Offense - played decent, especially the o-line.  Apparently in this league if you completely blow someone up it is considered unnecessary roughness.  Teague played good.  But remember they run what the coach tells them to.  With the number of yards they compiled in the 4th quarter, why were those plays not called the entire game.

I really fel bad for the upperclassmen thast have devoted the last 3=4 years to a coach who cannot get them there.  Sure he is a great man and all the nice things that need to be said but his record speaks for itself.  HE CANNOT TAKE A TEAM OF AVERAGE PLAYERS AND GET THEM OVER THE TOP.  HIS TIME IS OVER.

One more thing.  Kickoff team, if you are going to do the chant and the dance, please don't allow an average kickoff return of more than 30 yards.  It just looks stupid.

It is very sad to see someone down a program as much as this person has this year. Stopp smearing the team and coaches and start to support MU like your name claims. Internet coaches always know a better way for some reason.

Great job today Methodist. I was glad to see you guys play up to your ability.

musupporter...welcome to the boards...great snapshot of the game, especially as it relates to mu abandoning the running game...scales had 7 carries for 85 yards in the first half...and ended the game with 7 carries for 85 yards...he didn't touch the ball in the 2nd half

i think a real turning point, from a momentum standpoint was the last td of the 1st half for mu...they got a first down inside of the 1 with :57 left in the half and cu out of timeouts...and the monarchs called a timeout with about 22 seconds left on the play clock...they scored the next play, but left WAY too much time as cu got a long td and then a mishandled ko was covered in the endzone by cu...a HUGE momentum swing that should have never happened...had MU simply milked the clock, perhaps cu doesn't have time to score TWICE...

and i agree that cu looked much improved and much bigger - no usasac team will see an o-line that big

congrats to the pride for a big win...they needed something good after the summer they had to endure

I have no problem going away from the run when you are behind and need to play catch up. I think the big plays by CU really took it out of Methodist. CU is a far better team than last year and have got some big time linemen. That size is really tough for a typical D3 lineman to go up against. The offense showed great potential and I think they will put some points up this year in conference play. They only had around 15-20 plays the whole second half so that was to blame as well. They will learn from that second half and I look for them to be a much better team this year. I won't get out of Florida for awhile so I hoipe to have good updates from you MU guys.
