I am going to take a look at myself as a fan and i wonder if maybe i lose perspective sometimes. I get so caught up in the frustration of my team losing that i forget that these Coaches and Players are putting it on the line for us all and they are human beings just like me who have both good and bad days. I was sick to my stomach after the game Saturday just like a lot of you were. But put yourself in the place of these players and dont you think they are feeling the same sense of loss. They can see the same things we can and know what effort has been laid out to be where they are. They are just as dissapointed and even though they have had some bad breaks go against them they still handled themselves with class and no matter what happens i want these players to know that i have confidence in them. Sure their are some things we need to work on and we have had some bad things go against us but we have a football team that has worked hard and deserves our loyalty and our support. When things are going good it is easy to pat someone on the back and bask in the glory. It is when someone is down that you find charachter and you have to pick yourself up and keep fighting. Every one of us has struggles in life and not always does everything go your way. I for one will be pulling for my tigers just like i have since i was a little boy in front of the radio with my brother and dad. I will live and die with each play. I will get frustrated when bad things happen and scream and hollar when good things do. Keep fighting Tigers and keep your head up.
We made bone-headed mistakes all day, because the players lost their composure and poise and PANICKED. They practically sh*t their pantalons in the Swamp . . . after the first bad thing happened, they were overwhelmed by the "Catastrophe Syndrome." The "Phantom Holding Call" that nullified the touchdown was Catastrophe #1 . . . after that, they just kept piling up. Coach Miles, could you work on that, please?
