Rockne's Roundtable

I could not agree more. They haven't gotten used to losing so they don't expect it to happen when things get tough. Every break going against us is not just misfortune, but rather a reflection of that IMO.

If they want to be all mad, show it on the field. If not, move on and let the underclassmen play. It's not like we would have a huge gap between playing them over the upperclassmen outside of Mike, Manti, Harrison, and maybe Braxston.

Coach knows what he's doing and he'll get the best out of them, one way or another.

Ive been called many things but never a hack. Thats a good one roc Ill note that one.

Anytime A coach openly admits that he has "His Guys" and then there is everyone else You are admitting to favoritism and not open competition. As well as you are creating a rift amongst the team. Motivating your team and players by calling them out is one thing. But you do not call out an 18-20 year old kid in the media. You do not openly create cliques amongst an age group where cliquish behavior is already rampant.

Merlin is a prime example of message board slander. How do you know the context of players' tweets or FB posts? OH THAT'S RIGHT.... You're not on the team. Probably a troll.

Well, we've blamed the coach, blamed the players, and now we're blaming the low moral attitude among the students for the team's problems. Personally, I think the problem with the team is this fan board. That's right, I'm point the finger at each and every one of us. Tweet away.

Fuzz im with you, just can't believe how sensitive these guys have become. The upper classman should be mature enough to see the writing on the wall.
