I may have missed the post...
Does anyone have info on what happened in the team mtg after ND? Canesport has a front page article about it. Something about players addressing the team and crying. I dumped CS when I came over to CIS.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

In Golden's press conference the other day he said guys were crying, I don't remember if he said it was in a team meeting or after the game in the locker room.

Maybe the crying from the fans spilled over to the team. Next we will hear that the team was beating a dead horse at practice.
 
No,no, no. It was a typo. Golden said the team was FLYING around and someone mistook it for crying out loud.
 
If they were crying, that isn't a bad thing. It means they don't like losing.
 
Didn't Highsmith cry after Penn St loss in '86?

If guys are buying into Golden and the team so much that they cry after a regular season loss.... I'd say we're on our way back.

i know man.


honestly I just dont even know what to think anymore. Never in my wildest dreams would I have expected 3rd worst D in the country. How there are holes everywhere on D and its so easy for teams to move the ball on us. I just dont even know what to think about that anymore.


To think the players would be crying because they got beat down on national TV by a rival, I have to ask myself... why shed tears? Dorsett I can understand. Im sure he felt the weight of the whole canes nation on his shoulders. Aside from that... did we as a team REALLY BELIEVE we were going to win this ball game? And if they did that poses another question.. should the coaches be piping smoke up these players asses and making them think they are better than they are?


Im a Golden guy, but he continues to say "I knew what we were gonna be", "most freshmen in the country", and things of that nature... but why tell the guys we are good enough to run what we want to run right now and still hang with these teams when the obvious is on the forefront to the fans and coaches alike.


We have made the decision as a coaching staff, IMO, that we are going to run our stuff and develope our young personel that way instead of the antipisis of that which would be dumbing down the playbooks and schemes to possibly win this year. We are seeing a little bit of both this year. Yes we want to win right now but we are playing in a way that is detrimental to the young players confidence. This is the type of **** that makes or breaks kids, which is rarely a huge issue in determining their role for the year but its so **** hard when its like that for 8 or more of these young guys to be called upon to do these things.


Im just confused, dumbfounded, and lost as far as what the **** is going on with this years Canes. We are better than I thought we would be at this point record wise, especially within the division, but we are actually worse than I expected as far as the way the games have played out as a whole.

Well, I'm sure Mike James was emotional. That game meant alot to him because of his Mom. Highsmith might've cried because he had to go face his Father after that.

If we cried about losing that game we are going 5-7

Yeah because players that cry never succeed, like in the NBA, there was never a team, in say, 2011, that had players cry after a loss to another team, and then go on to beat that team 4-1 in, oh, let's say, the Eastern Conference Finals. Nope, never happened.
 
Wasn't FSU a very, very, ****** defense 2 years ago? I believe they were....and look at them now...
 
I'm paraphrasing the article some... During the meeting Golden asked the team if anyone wanted to say something.

A player stood up in front of the team and while crying said " It was my fault. It's on me."
While standing another player stood up along with the first, and said, "No, it was my fault"

I guess to not have the first player stand up and take the blame solo, or the fact that they all are teammates and one player does not win or lose a game. So from the outside in, the players are rallying around each other and looking to move forward from the Chicago Curbstompping.

Article also talked about Seantrel and how focused he was during his filmstudy during the week. He graded out at 93%
