Golden quote from today

[CaneInHeelCountry]

Golden is such a well prepared public speaker. He sounds presidential. If we win next week, I still think we self-impose a ban. This team is set up to make multiple ACCCG appearances. No need to sell our future for a ACCCG appearance and pre-NYE bowl game.

I disagree, there's nothing to show that another self ban will do any good, IMO you don't dangle the carrot in front of the team and then snatch it away once you get where you wanted them to go.

I was really impressed with Golden's post game radio bit, he came of as a man with steely determination and gave a little bit of "settle the F down and be patient".

UM isn't going to make the decision to forego a bowl unless there is an indication that it will do some good in terms of NCAA punishment. They are in constant contact with the ACC and with the NCAA. And while the NCAA isn't going to come out and say "ok, if you drop a bowl game this year, we'll lighten your punishment," they can certainly make it known whether it would help out cause.

And the players have known since last year that this was a possibility. We're not "dangling a carrot" in front of them. They're adults...they chosed to come here and play in spite of the uncertainty of this whole NCAA thing. They know that there's a possibility that if we take a bowl ban now, it'll free us up for the rest of their careers at UM.

Donna is a political beast. She will be as informed as anyone could be prior to making the decision, and that's all that we can hope for. If she thinks there's a strong possibility of a multiple year bowl ban (and I do, unfortunately), then I believe she, in conjunction with our Athletic Director, makes the decision to forgo the postseason this year and put that in the rear view. Al will have no say in that decision.

A political beast is a good thing?

More like a political troll

I still don't know why we can't play the ACC game and take a "bowl ban" afterwards.. We're not receiving a "post season" ban from the NCAA... we are penalizing ourselves for the bowl game.. why is that not possible?

 

[moshated305]

**** a post season ban. These guys been through a lot this season to have the opportunity for a post season to be taken from them for the sake of something that no one on this team had anything to do with. All players involved have since left the program and the only coach left is Barrow but his involvement was little too none.

I think Dyron Dye is the only one left on the team who had any connection to Shapiro.

And McGee but he did not receive enough to warrant a suspension.

Because ACC has already ruled that any team not elegible for post season bowl cannot play in the ACCCG. And I don't think we will hoodwink them into playing in the ACCCG and then back out of the bowls. The damage with the ACC comissioners would not be worth the piddly ACCCG.

If I may borrow from the scripture of the wise prophet 5Ringz, ahem:

That "prophet" was defrocked over his bull**** *** crying and making a thread proclaiming VT would mudstomp us. **** that guy. AG is the only prophet I'll listen to.


/would still have a beer with him to give him ****

He fell on the sword for our sins and look what happened.

We are eligible for post season bowl. If we win it, we can then self impose.
I would rather lose this year and have a better team next year that can actually do better in the Orange Bowl. Getting stronger is more important than reps.

Educated poster, I like logic and reasoning. Likely some information out there that only a few people are privy too.

Whatever good will we can get would be great. But if there is zero leverage or correlation with a bowl ban then we should go for it. Ofcourse getting to acctg is one thing, winning it is another.

Golden has a losing record as a head coach. He likely doesn't get it.

Doesn't change the fact that I am responsible for the most overused phrase on this board.

Now kneel before me.

 

[mydas77]

Al Golden? He gets it!

All that this team has accomplished is diminished with a loss to UVA. A win next week validates everything. Losses to #2, #4 and FSU with a team this young ain't so bad if they win out. He is on the verge of turning the program around and can taste it. I know I can.

First, of all, I kneel before no one. Second, it's not like that phrase hasn't been used being a million people about a million other people. Third, the most overused phrase on this site is "We skate." Fourth, those that deserve praise don't demand or even request it. Fifth, carry on...ur a solid poster. Sixth...well, I've got nothing else, but I was on a roll with the list, so...
