Maybe I'm old fashioned, but a player tweeting anything after this disaster just screams a lack of self-awareness and maturity. Ultimately we don't want to see your tweets, or your instagram, or you 80 yard trick shot kicks on metube. We just want to see you win and play good football.
What he said. If that was an example of the coaches working their asses off, I'd hate to see something worse.
Coach Traylor can't snap the ball accurately for the deep snapper. He can't catch the deep snap for the punter. He can't kick the ball accurately for the Sr kicker. He can put in the 2nd team player though.
When the season started, I figured we'd have offensive woes, but I thought the defense would be reasonably decent, boy was that wrong. They're horrendous. Playing an aggressive man-to-man on TCU's receivers with our young DBs seems like a really bad idea.
Well damn that's just selfish. Losing sucks no doubt but losing that way is downright embarrassing and in front of millions on national TV cmon bud pretty sure they feel worse about it than you do
Easy, I'm not saying they don't feel bad. I'm sure they feel terrible. But just because you feel bad doesn't make you better. That's the whole millennial mentality..that's what breeds entitlement. Everyone in life has messed up. And people who have graduated college mess up in situations that are 10x more serious than playing poorly in a football game. When you mess up you learn from it, correct the problem, and concentrate on being better in the future. There's no point to tweeting/making excuses because they do not make your better. If anything they are symptoms of a distracted player not fully committed or a barrier to that mindset. It's the difference between saying and actually doing it....claiming you're a foodie and being a Michelin chef...the girl taking selfies at the baseball game and the girl that keeps her own scorecard...someone who just says they're sorry and a winner with titles. And you think that's selfish? What's the whole point of Rose's youtube trick kicks? It couldn't possibly be to draw attention to himself? Do you know how ridiculous those videos look given his performance this season?
How is tweeting making excuses , show me one excuse? I saw guys pissed about a teammate making a bad choice and standing by each other in a down time. Something teammates are supposed to do so for you to say we don't care just win games and play good football is selfish. Some of those guys gave all they could primarily the young ones witha few games experience so yes it will be ugly but are they supposed to just quit and give up because it isn't going the way they want it. Would you rather them say nothing, then what will you would say oh they don't even care.
I should have been more clear. I consider the two, tweeting and making excuses, symptomatic of the same problem. Thinking about your tweet expressing your feelings after a loss like this is the wrong headspace. The twitterspehere is the last thing that should be on their mind. And yes, I would prefer they not tweet anything especially after a humiliating loss. Tweeting does not prove you care. The way you show you care, that you care for your teammates, is your play on the field. In the long-run, yes it is about winning. But for this team right now, it's about just playing with some level of competence.
"That guy?" Roy Williams? Texas' all-time TD receptions and receiving yards record holder? He's probably enjoying retirement after his 9-year NFL Pro-Bowl career. *edit: I stand corrected, he's a successfull business owner who runs a trucking business with a fleet of 14 big-rigs supporting the oil and gas industry. http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Former-Cowboy-Roy-Williams-Finds-Success-in-Trucking-280488042.html
