bunker mentality

He has done worse, like at nd last year when he called a time out to try a fake field goal. Even my grandma knew that a fake was coming.

Not sure that's "calling out", but he probably doesn't need to comment on that sort of thing at all.

punting was the right choice

I may get flanked here, but I think the fans were right in this case. We were getting nothing going at all on offense and have been like that for a month now. The fans sat through an hour and a half of a game that we can say was exciting as watching paint dry. We have to get something going to get the spark on the offense. If it means going for a 4th down conversion that we should go for it. I also think we should pull a couple of fake FGs or punts so we can atleast get some excitement going on offense. The fans have every right to be upset. The offense hasn't gotten better at all this year.

no question with the weather and the struggles of both offenses.

Mark, I love you, buddy, but you are focussing on the wrong things. Coming off the heels of losing a game at home, to a team that lost to CMU and Iowa state, having ended the first half on a play in which no player managed to line up behind center with 6 seconds left, with no timeouts left, in field goal range, in a game that was lost in OT..

Nailed it.

I will say that I thought we should punt there. No reason to do something stupid in a close, low scoring game and give Iowa points. It would have been stupid to go for it.

That said...we might not have been in that position if everyone and their fucking brother didn't know exactly what plays we were running before we even lined up. Run up the middle, run up the middle, pass 4 yards short of the first down marker. Great fucking game plan. Maybe, and bear with me here, you should try and run a route that would allow the pass to be caught PAST the first down marker on 3rd and 5. I know that sounds crazy but it might just be worth a shot.

The only logical explanation as to why Roushar is still employed.

Yeah, I like Coach just fine, but worry about your team and not the fans who basically sign your paycheck. I didn't boo then, but I booed my ass off when the team was too inept to spike the ball at a time that basically cost us a win.

I put a lot of time and money in to this program, and am still wet and cold... I think I have the right to boo when the product is damn near garbage (and that instance was garbage).

Or he could worry about coaching his fucking team and holding coaches accountable. The fact he is commenting on the fans after the abortion his team displayed makes me wonder wtf his priorities are this season.
