I'm so conflicted for tonight. I absolutely love our defense and punter. They are championship caliber. This is the strongest and most exciting defense I've seen in some time here at MT, possibly ever. Have to go back to Manny Diaz days with Erik Walden to see a defense this good. And this defense may be even better. Proud of our defense and what Shafer has put together here.
But,.... I'm just so over Stockstill and the status quo. I havn't commented about Bailey leaving but it's such a bigger problem than meets the eye. He was supposed to be the answer for this year AND next year. Now we appear to be screwed for this season as well as next season, unless you want to roll the dice on another transfer QB next year....I talked about all off-season that this team could be good, but that Hockman's play was the X factor. Granted, he played behind one of the worst OL in the country, but he wasn't that great either. I guess it just has not been in the cards for us to find a QB since Brent graduated. And with the way our OL is playing, I doubt any good QB's will come here or be here long.
Just a big fat ugh with this staff. The issues we have across the board, from McPhee to Massaro to Mcdevitt to Stockstill, are well documented. I'm tired of talking about them. I just want people who want to be here and who truly want what's best for MT, not just here for a paycheck or to hire family members and friends/former teammates. And nobody will ever convince me those 4 are here for anything more than a paycheck. At least if we were losing with someone like Clint Marks at AD or Kelly Holcomb as head coach, we know they are at least trying and stopping at nothing to do right by our University.
I'm just over MT athletics. I'll be happy if we win tonight, but I'll also be happy if we lose tonight too because I want this staff and our "leaders" gone so badly. I've never felt this way about MT athletics before but my emotions are what they are. I'm just done with this inept staff and athletic department. I think i'd rather lose every game from here on out until change is FORCED. Such a shitty situation to be in because I hate it for our players, they deserve better, but the coaches and "leaders" of this university have completely failed them/us.
rant over.
