New Mexico 75, Boston College 57: Eagles Drop 76 Classic Finale

i almost don’t want to watch any games this year. I’ll save judgment on the whole season, ’till we are 10 games in.

With our recruiting class I am pleasantly surprised with Clifford and Heckmann, but everyone else seems overmatched. The jury is still out on Anderson, but Humphrey was a wasted spot. His shot selection and overall play for an “experienced” player is woeful.

I would have like to seen a person with a college ready body in this recruiting class, not a bunch of malnourished kids who are going to get eaten alive in conference play. Is the average weight of our guards 160lbs, soaking wet? Also i was impressed by caudill’s recruiting profile early, with his size and height, but after seeing him play, exit stage left.

I still think Donahue shot himself in the foot, by not saving 2 from skinner’s recruiting class. Even dallas elmore would have helped this team. I hope he can recover, but how many recruiting spots will he have for upcoming classes? I don’t think there’s an ACC starting 5 in this bunch.

Spaz should have been let go. We are losing tons of money, possibly recruits, and even the “diehard” fanbase is losing interest. Not to mention the at-large fanbase made up of “front-runners”(no offense) is basically gone. How many times have i heard, i can’t watch them, i’ve got better things to do on Saturdays. Getting them back is an almost impossible task, and I believe there needs to be a shakeup in the AD’s office to get them back.

 I have always been a spaz apologist, but just don’t think he’s head coaching material. He is a good-possibly great defensive coordinator, and i wish we had a time machine to go back to those days. Now i feel like our defense has suffered from his promotion., and his in game management and boneheaded media interviews are discouraging.
That being said, i do think our expectations were too high. People hate this “excuse”, but Jags did eff things up, with a change in our offensive live philosophy, and relying on matty ice. Matty ice won two acc games in the last 2 mins. He made us look like the next big thing, but i feel like it was a facade. We won a somewhat weak acc atlantic at the time, and dressed us up with huge passing yards, while our defensive led by spaz and herzlich was dominating. This is a full recruiting class later- excuses stop here though. Spaz i fear the stache for different reasons now, prove us wrong and get us back to a bowl, and performing at a high level.

Step 1: Get kuechly to stay,
Step 2: When you have a lead, go for the jugular
Step3- Don’t abandon what’s working on offense or defense, just because we finally have a lead
Step 4- show the same fire on the sideline that you showed the last quarter of the season
Step 5- dont rely on momah or harris to be your only offensive weapon- hopefully they wont, but most likely they’ll get hurt
Step 6- Retire after 2012, and go out a winner.
