Time for a change!

It is time for a change for both the quarterback position and head coach for usc.

Smelley should have been taken out of the game after the first quarter. That was the only fault Spurrier made. We played shitty and clemson played half-assed. we will see what will happen next.

Just got back from the place I go to watch the games...

Smelley was ABSOLUTELY pathetic. We honestly could have won with as many wide open receivers as we had.

However, did any of you see anything out of Garcia against Florida that would have made you think he could have won the game for us? Not that I wasn’t screaming for him to come in…

This really, really sucks…

Smelley has shown me more than Garcia...

more interceptions
more fumbles
more missed open receivers
more losses to Clemson

We should have gone the Mathew Stafford route with Garcia. Taken our lumps this year and come out fighting next year. It is almost certain that our would not be any worse this year with Garcia.

Maybe you're right...

As much as I’ve been disappointed by Garcia this year, Smelley just ruined my year. Ruined it.

Honestly...

The thing I kept saying to myself throughout this game was, “Why can’t we have Blake Mitchell back for one more year?” And yes, that’s very sad.

Please.

Let’s not kid ourselves. Blake and Smelley were on the same level. Blake could not even hold onto the snaps! Next year the #1 QB should be Garcia. #2 Aramis Hillary. #3 maybe Smelley or maybe Reid McCollum. Seriously. Smelley is a known quantity. It is time to take a page out of Money Ball and gamble on fate.

Thoughts:
Love Coach Ray
Tommy Beecher doesn’t want to play?!? WTF?!?
Ron Morris’ mind opperates like a child’s.

No...

Blake Mitchell never would have played like that. As bad as he was at times, did he he ever do anything remotely that bad?

But you’re right about next year. I don’t know why I believed Smelley would turn it around today. But I was wrong. Next year is Garcia, Hillary, and someone other than Smelley. That was rank.

Don't take this as an attack

But I know you guys will so whatever… but you guys just got beat. Straight up. Out manned, out gunned… it hurts but that’s the facts.

I'm not taking it as an attack.

I’m taking it as you are the last person we want to see, hear, or smell. You should know that. You don’t think that we understand why we lost? Please, don’t act like you’ve got some mystical insight that we can’t wrap our minds around. I’m pretty pissed off right now, and I don’t speak for anyone else but me when I say this, so don’t blame the site administrators. Just get lost. Good night.

I shot back

Such as it is. Another season where dead dreams of an ACC title and national championship possibilties are redeemed by beating a mid-tier SEC team. Incredible, really.

Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.

Brandon...

It is what it is. They beat us. It’s time to start thinking about seriously criticizing Spurrier. I thought Smelley was the guy, but Spurrier should have known.

I like how.....

many of the commentors on the site were trying to bash what you said, but opened with “I didn’t read past….., but…..”.

Tough loss.

Sorry your boys didn’t win it. Nothing else to say, really.
