Obviously, all of us are upset with Saturday's result.
But, I love this team and coaching staff.
For those criticizing this team and coaching staff, remember what Barkeley said after the OSU loss last year and read the passage below from President Roosevelt.
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
Basically, all of us are spectators. I choose to support this team and coaching staff, as I can only imagine the time, effort, and sacrifice the coaches, their spouses, players, and their parents go through to get to this point. I see no evidence of red flags with our program, but those who want to criticize, criticize all you want. But in the end know that your criticism is worth .
