looney 794 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 It's in the weekly presser thread. Wish he hadn't said that. I feel like we're normally pretty good about not giving opponents bulletin board material. Fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PigskinPat 2,562 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Agh, just saw that. Mods please delete if need be. I really don't like it when players give bulletin board material. It usually comes back to bite them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aujeff11 6,243 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 The only rule of smack talk is backing it up. So clear the court and let them go at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionheartkc 6,150 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 how can anyone on the defense talk crap after what happened saturday? Rudy and Cass can talk crap all they want. They brought it on Saturday. Just because they were surrounded by true or redshirt freshman doesn't diminish what they individually did for the team.

lionheartkc 6,150 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 The one thing that really bothered me was, when given the opportunity, Gus didn't defend Countess. Yea, it would have been walking the line of calling out the refs, but it means a lot to a player when the coach publicly stands up for them on a questionable call, especially one that involves ejection. "It was a tough one." doesn't really cut it. I would have preferred "He made a good play" be in there somewhere, since he really did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTim 3,456 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 WHY would any Coach want to "walk the line" of questioning a ref's call in public? I am thankful our Coach is not that stupid.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thankful our Coach is not that stupid.... Why not? Coaches do it all the time. Heck, some coaches flat out say it was a bad call, but I expect more decorum from our coaches. Still, not 2 weeks ago, Lashlee backhandedly said the refs had a bad holding call when he said 4 of 5 were legit. That's a lot more direct than saying Countess made a good play. I would certainly hope that if Countess's play was in the second half that Gus would be appealing the suspension for Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole256 17,039 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Have to agree with war Tim on this one. I'm pretty sure refs stick together...don't want to bash them publicly....there is literally no upside to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
