Where did I say I wasn't proud of kids because of their record? Please read before you post idiotic false accusations. I played here. I know at least 10 kids on the current roster. I love this program. What I saw, what I said and what's a FACT is that the program was an absolute JOKE under Tom. He wasn't prepared. He was a putrid in game coach. Most of the kids had NO respect for him or the way he treated them. And worse of all.. by far is that he took good kids and continually and consistently put them in a situation to fail.Chalkeye wrote: ↑Thu Aug 17, 2023 4:28 pm How can it be shades of the Junction Boys when you bitter "fans" were up TG's backside for 4 years for his antiquated techniques and hard driven training methods? And sorry '89 that you couldn't be proud of previous teams because of their record, but Cahill's inaguaral team's record isn't important, it is just important that progress is being shown? How long is that attitude going to last? You realize many of the same kids that are playing this year were on last year's team that you couldn't be proud of? I saw every game last year, and one thing that stood out to me was the consistent effort by kids who had every reason to not exert that effort after some of the disappointments they suffered through. I am optomistic about this season and the team seems to be responding to the fresh approach from the new staff. What is disappointing to me is the "Fellowship of the Miserable" on this message board that vaccillates between their Glory Day reminiscing and their disdain for TG that spills over to their questioning of the drive and committment of the players on the field, coupled with the air of Owl-like omniscience on all things FCS.
So to be clear I NEVER said I wasn't proud of the kids OR their effort. Not sure how much clearer I needed to be. The pride i take, and that I KNOW these kids take in the program is being respected, working hard, being supported and led and put in a situation where success with wins is great but a groundwork for success is being laid for life. Under the new staff that's exactly what's being done.
