Auburn 34 - MState 0
8 quarters. 8 quarters without scoring a single point. Not a field goal. Not a touchdown. We have breached the redzone 1 time all season, and that was after Auburn gave us the ball on the 35 yard line. We attempted a field goal on that drive down 34-0 and missed again. Our starters on offense couldn't even score on Auburn's reserve defense.
The worst part of the game wasn't the score, the heat, or even our failure to score. The worst part of the game were the postgame comments where Croom basically told the fans to sit down and shut up. Sly said he doesn't want to hear from fans how bad our offense is. He doesn't want us to tell him to change his ways or change the staff or anything of that sort. Apparently we shouldn't have a voice. We should just show up to the game after paying $200 for season tickets and giving a donation to the BC, $2.60 for gas, money for motel rooms, and buying food and drink for our families and cheer blindly. To heck with that. We are the ones who have lived through 5 straight losing seasons. We are the ones who were told we would improve this year by our coach. Now that coach tells us to shut up, that he isn't changing a thing. Well, if you don't change you will win about 3 games this year Sly.
This is insulting on every level. Does the call-in show exist to make Sly feel better? Or does it exist for the fans to raise their concerns about MState football and ask serious questions of our coach? I think it is the latter. I stayed till the bitter end, i think that gives me a voice. I wear maroon and white, I think that gives me a voice. I graduated from MState and love the school dearly, I think that gives me a voice. For a failure of a head coach to have the nerve to tell me to shut up is too much for me to handle.
The Slytanic is sinking further into the icy depths. We are on board and there are no lifeboats. And now the captain is telling us there is nothing to fear, that this boat is unsinkable and he is fixing the hole. He actually thinks were are going to sit here and not notice the ship sinking further and further? Croom needs to do two things right now: apologize for his comments and this team and then resign. I don't expect Croom to do either so our administration needs to do their jobs. Croom should be fired and fired immediately.
