Has our specialty become bailing out opposing coaches on the hot seat? The Fridge should be fine after this game, Willingham last year, Mike Stoops the year before…

I’m not sure if I can keep on watching anymore… when was the last time we had only 6 pts by the fourth?

Worst game of the Tedford era?

TN in ‘06 was somewhat understandable, but bad. UW and ’furd last year were pretty bad. But this is just so horrible on so many levels, plus it’s on national television which will just ruin us on the national recruiting trial.

I figured this was going to be a rebuilding year on the offensive side of the ball. Guess I was right.

Blame in on Nolan!

The reek from this Cignetti run offense is starting to permeate the room. You just can’t trust anyone from a Nolan coached 49ers team. Gregory is back to the same old tricks from last season. If my comments become bizarre, it’s not my fault. I am drunk, at 11 in the freaking MORNING! That’s a low even for me!

Have to go for 2 there....

The A's colors are green and gold.

by mikeA on Sep 13, 2008 12:01 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

No?

You go for two on the last drive.

by BearsNecessity on Sep 13, 2008 12:02 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

why?

they needed 22. You can get that by 7-7-8 or 8-8-6. If they had gone for two, they could have missed and still tied it, whereas now they can’t miss. And what difference does it make whether they do it on the first or last drive?

The A's colors are green and gold.

by mikeA on Sep 13, 2008 12:04 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

No

Because if they miss it they’re down 16 and need to run two more two point conversions. As opposed to waiting until the end and running one. Risk management.

why does gregory still have a job. why? is tedford not understanding that our D has been consistenly average to below average?

by ch0ster on Sep 13, 2008 12:05 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Because he believes in a thing called loyalty. Clearly to a fault….

by CaliSeth on Sep 13, 2008 12:06 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I am not questioning Tedford. Just upset and frustrated. But imagine how they feel. Imagine that plane ride home…. Yikes…….

by CaliSeth on Sep 13, 2008 12:06 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

maybe tha’ts the silver lining to this season – our D gets so shitty to the point that tedford can’t overlook that fact anymore

How wikipedia defines "embarrassment"

“Embarrassment is an emotional state experienced upon having a socially or professionally unacceptable act or condition witnessed by or revealed to others. Usually some amount of loss of honour or dignity is involved, but how much and the type depends on the embarrassing situation.”

Sounds about right.

The heat coupled with the humidity makes it intolerable. I lived in Virginia for two years. Two of the worst years of my life as far as the climate went.

Having been to some pretty humid places in the midwest, I can say that it’s absolutely suffocating if you haven’t lived in it for a while.

If we ever have to play in that climate again I think the players should go to haas and have the heat jacked up. And be forced to run the court for three hours….
