Who's been doing it? I don't think it's that crazy to just say who it is if you know, why protect him?

"If you aren't all in, you need to be all out. And if I'm on a team where a guy or group of guys isn't all in, I will find a way to get you all out."

Had a good story about a regime change while he played in Buffalo. You simply have to move on and play football. Benning agreed wholeheartedly and is still discussing.
I guess something I did not think about until just now...what if it is not "some" players that are pro-bo, what if it is most of the players?

What then? Still sit them all, still kick them all off?

I guess I just assumed it might be a few players but what if it is like 60 players?

I highly doubt this is an issue. Most of the upperclassmen are hoping to get a combine invite and a shot at the next level. Why the hell would they put in anything less than their best effort regardless of the coach? The younger players could have transferred if losing Bo mattered that much. And of course those who know they won't get drafted will be entering a business world where management changes are part of life.
This is a transition year. The talent level is the lowest it's been since around 2004.

Keep the dedicated players, boot everyone else.
I'd rather see us lose all remaining games, rather than lose by not trying.

The names of those spreading hate & discontent should be chiseled in urinals & toilet bowls.

so you think the ex-players should show up and whip the current players into shape and give them a good old fashioned beat down.. did I get that right?

i'm gonna suggest you sober up first

What exactly are you doing to correct the situation? Talk more? Post more? That's really seemed to recreate the Championship years 1994-1997 hasn't it. Let's all mutter under our breath and take to the airwaves, THAT'LL SHOW 'EM!

JHC, be LESS proactive, you can't.

I personally think that taking a bunch of 40 year old men in Damon Benning an Jay Foreman, gearing them up, and trying to prove something/straighten out a bunch of 19 year old kids is pretty damn shameful. Its like those dudes that are hanging on to whatever former glory they had in those ultra competitive old dudes softball leagues.

They aren't in the program anymore, commenting cool, but its up to Gangwish and those guys to slam dudes into lockers, not a bunch of old dudes.

See, I don't disagree with that sentiment. It's fair and rational and level-headed. But the "old guard" needs to shut up if they aren't going to do **** but talk on the radio about it. I still think it's ridiculous nobody is more outraged that a bunch of snot-nosed kids are ruining the thing we love right before our eyes, and our own Coach and apparently most of the fan base is going to sit idly by and whine about it! THEN DO SOMETHING. What is this, Congress? Let's debate it ad nauseum, but never act on anything? Nonsense.

There is nothing a fan can do - other than not supporting the program by not going to the games or following them. And that's not going to happen. We can talk among ourselves and that's it.

Unless the big time boosters are mad there isn't anything that fans can do.

Begging your pardon, but at least those old players have skin in the game. If anyone deserves to just "talk ****" about snot nosed players, its them, and not a bunch of us free boarders who haven't done anything.

I hear your passion... But what do you suggest the fans do? How are we gonna change things? Seriously don't get where you're going with this...
