Moorhead Misunderstandings

Folks are upset that we have been embarrassed in the last two games, however, this is in part to our misinterpreting statements from Coach JoMo. Let me illustrate….

“We are a left lane team.” – We took this to mean that the team was going to be attacking on offense and always looking to overtake the opponent. In reality, JoMo meant that we are headed in the wrong direction, in the wrong lane and we are in for several head-on collisions.

“Do you know your ring size?” – Yeah, we thought he was suggesting that we would be winning a championship. In reality, he and Mama JoMo were having a discussion on the plane ride to Starkville when it came to light that JoMo didn’t know his ring size. He explained to his wife that it was not uncommon for men to be unaware of their ring size and when he exited the plane, he began asking all of the players, “Do you know your ring size?”, to prove his point.

“I sometimes refer to our offense as the Chipotle offense. There’s not a ton of ingredients but there’s a ton of mixing and matching going on.” – Ya’ll thought this meant we would be innovative with multiple looks……Nope, he just meant our offense would be like the explosive diarrhea you experience after eating at Chipotle.

Please feel free to add your favorite “Moorhead Misunderstandings”.

"You can clear a place on your mantle for a Heisman trophy."

You can clear the stuff off your mantle to install a bigger flatscreen to watch the Heisman ceremony from your living room in crystal clear 4K.

This is a high bar. I'll keep watching, but can't see how anyone beats this.

"We will not be a football team that cuts corners*.” *Because our playmakers will never have enough space to cut.

“Ultimately, football is a game of precision and execution. We are going to be the most precise* team in the country.” *Scoring no touchdowns for 7 straight quarters is the definition of precision.

“Life isn’t just about trying hard, washing machines try hard. It’s about doing things to the best of your ability.*” *Moorhead is going to do about as well as I would do.

“I will have an OC, but I’m going to run* the offense.” *Don't take the word "run" too literally here. There will be no running backs involved.

Practice performance dictates playing time- We talking about practice. Not a game. Not a game. Not a game. We talking about practice. Not a game.

“There is a light at the end of the tunnel. The light is an opening and not an oncoming train.”

Once you get to the end of the tunnel, you will see that opening is a cliff. You will promptly fall many floors into a pile of boulders on the square in oxford.

His quotes are just down right painful... You would think these gut checks would have slowed them down.
