We are U.
Wow after a big win on the road in Oxford, MS with some
great stats it feels like we all can take a much-needed deep breath. At least
it would appear on twitter that has happened. The incessant anti-Gus,
anti-player tweets have slowed way down, thank you.
Quick run down of the key stats in my opinion; 0 turnovers,
269 yards rushing, Whitlow had 170 yards rushing, only lost the Time of
Possession battle by 22 seconds. Still had some areas of concern; 8 penalties
for 80 yards, 5 out of 6 of the 3rd down conversions for q (6 of 17) were 5 yards or
greater.
For most of us, we know that U
is much more than wins and losses, it’s about the U family. Some people like to claim they do not want
mediocrity or are not ok with 8-5 seasons and the blah blah goes on and on🙄.
All I have to say is chill. Did you see the Ohio State and Purdue game?
Sometimes there is a reason or a force on how things are the way they are and
supposed to be. Purdue was not being denied and I believe Tyler Trent along
with the Good Lord and the spirit of a team to do something no one gave them a
shot to do. Obviously, they did it and they were last night who they are, and
they showed the world that.
This U team
needs to be who they are and we as U
fans and most importantly as U
family need to accept that. So many people with so many opinions trying to
control the situation. Trust in Al Greene, trust in the U coaches and players. They are the only ones that
truly know who they are and what they are truly capable of. Every single “journalist,”
tweeter, and opinionated blogger (myself included) only speculate. When you
speculate, you invariably assume to fortify your opinions. Now for some of you
more experienced folks on the planet you know that when you assume it only ends
making an ass out of u and me 😊! Oh, and we all know about opinions too,
everyone’s got one like something else and like that something else they
normally always stink😮.
So, as we head into the bye week why don’t we all take a lot
of deep breaths because the rest of our season is brutal! We all knew this
stretch of the schedule was coming and now more than ever our team needs us to
be positive and supportive. I mean seriously, realistically, I know we all want
to win every game but how many would you be happy if we won? 1? 2? 3? The
combined record of the final 4 are 23 – 6. We also know the UGA and bama game
are not in our house.
I am sure some will answer it is not if we win it is how
well we play which I totally get but having proper expectations on where our team
is and what they are capable of is key. I do not believe this team wants to
lose a single game and I do believe they believe they can win every game. For
years and years when I played sports that is the attitude I had, and you must
have when you are an athlete but as a fan you have the luxury of enjoying the game
without risking your health or making a mistake that ends up being the talk of
twitter for a week. So be a fan, enjoy the games and remember these are 18-20+
year old’s playing a game for our University and they deserve our unwavering
support.
I know we all had high expectations and all I am saying is
don’t let the last games pass you by without enjoying this college football
season. Sure, there are going to be ups and downs but embrace the ups and
forget the downs. Enjoy them while you can, embrace being around family and
friends sharing the tailgating and watch party experiences for those moments
are the moments to cherish for a lifetime.
I read a quote this
weekend and it reminded me that we should never waste the moments or try and be
somebody that we aren’t because chances are you are who you are supposed to be,
so be the best at that.
Wanting to be someone
else is a waste of the person you are.
- Marilyn Monroe
War Eagle y’all, stay positive and believe it when I say it
we are stronger together and united as one!
