    I guess, but I still prefer to win, even when it's ugly.

    I do too but the point is it shouldn't have been an ugly win. It wasn't an ugly win because of turnovers or even because of the penalties. It was ugly because Coach Miles got a slim lead, curled up and went to bed, and called it a night before halftime.

    We all want to win but for a first game it got a lot uglier than it should have been. A few first downs in the second half and another score and the game would never have been in doubt.

    I have seen lots of field goals of 52 yards or more in college and pro football. What if the Moo U kicker had made it? What if the receiver hadn't dropped the 2 point conversion attempt,,? Would have gone into OT with Moo having all the momentum

    It would be one thing if this rarely happens, this happens about 4 times a season, and I'm not counting the games that ended up being L's with this scenario.

    Are you a dimwit? Sorry, I was trying to explain something to you. I won't bother anymore.

    I am talking football here. I'm not getting drawn into politics just because he didn't pay attention to what I said.

    Yes, the quarterbacks are to blame for their personal problems and leaving the program, not the head coach.

    Every quarterback over 10 years? You're seriously sitting here trying to spew that bile about Miles deserves a pass for ten years of failing to recruit and develop a QB? I see who the real dimwit is.
