A Bad, Bad Dream

Are we done losing to Florida schools yet?  I can't handle this.  My eyes are still closed as I type this.  Should I become a basketball fan?  Hockey?  I don't know.  All I know is that the thought of even trying to watch us on the ACC Network this weekend is painful.

I had all these notes prepared from the Miami game.  But... nothing wanted to come out last week.  I'm almost ashamed at this point to even be bothering with anything related to our football team.  And then, to top things off, we ALMOST beat FSU.  ALMOST!!  How can that happen?  We have looked horrible to so many teams this year, yet somehow manage to ALMOST beat a top 10 team...

I'm sure you all know that we need to win out the season to be bowl eligible.  You all know my stance on this: LOSE.  LOSE OUT.  CHANGE THINGS.  It's as simple as that.  If we lose out, will we set another record?  An 8-loss season?  Quite a turn of events, my friends, from the last 10 years or so.

I thought this year we'd be in the top 10 easily all season.  The Giraffe would be exponentially better than last year... the D would be more polished and poised... but no, somehow we managed to ruin yet another QB.  We turned him into... and I cringe to say it... Sean Glennon.  And now look at us?

Dear Beamer, Stiney, Weaves, and Bud,
How does it feel to be UVA, boys?  Does it feel good to be staring 8 losses in the face?  How well is that TV money rolling in this season, Weaves?  How much you want to bet we may not even have a Thursday night game next season?  So, who is going to leave when we crap out the rest of the season?  Even if we don't, and there's a miracle, and we manage to win two more and go to the Scrubbing Bubbles Bowl that takes place at 9am on a Wednesday morning, who is leaving?  One of you HAS TO LEAVE.  You all understand that the issue with the program right now is in the TOXIC COMBINATION of the four of you.  If you don't have the fire anymore, Beamer, RETIRE!  Don't drag us into Penn State territory by letting our program fade into obscurity for another decade.  You know, we aren't as stupid as they are up there.  Hokies actually require a football program in order to buy tickets and watch games.  We aren't going to follow you into the crap-hole you're taking us into.  And Bud, are you done, too?  I'm feeling like you have been bipolar this year.  I don't know what to think of you.  Oh, and Stiney, you should easily be the first to leave.  Go coach some high school or tiny little college program.  Just, please, leave us in peace.

Love-less,
The B.S.C.

So here we are about to play a team that I really enjoy making fun of... and it's just not in me.  12:30 kick-off + the ACC Network + all the losses... I'm just...just sad.

Please feel free to vent your frustrations in the comments below.  I know I would.  And sorry to depress you, but I'm still waiting to wake up and find that it's August and the season is about to start.

Man, it sucks to be UVA.

Love the thought that the season is almost over,
The B.S.C.

Better Late Than Never?

I know, I know!  The game is going to start in about an hour!  GEESH!  You try to write a blog post every week!  You can blame Sandy on this one, friends, because I didn't have power for 2 days.  TWO VERY LONG DAYS.

Brief synopsis of Clemson:
- Entering to balloons is not fierce.  Maybe Christian Siriano fierce.  Or, 5-year-old birthday fierce.  Not college football fierce.

- I hate the stupid "oh oh oh ohhh" techno song.  We play it sometimes, too, in Lane Stadium.  Entering to it is lame... like balloons.
- Death Valley?  Kinda cool.
- 2 sacks in the first series?  Where did this come from, Mr. Foster?  Did you finally give them "the hell"?
- Simply touching a QB's leg does not qualify as actually stopping a QB's forward progress.  Just a thought... or was this a touch-football game and I missed the memo?
- Mike O'Cain: Why in the world do you call a running play on 2nd & 15?
- The Giraffe ran WAY, WAY, WAY too much.
- Run.  Run.  Pass.  Punt.  Run.  Run.  Pass.  Punt.  Does this sounds like a winning game strategy?  Remember the whole insanity thing... just sayin'...
- Beamer: Please refrain from your stupid trick plays during regular season play.  We expect those to kill us in BOWL games.  Save it for those.  We aren't going to even GET to a bowl game this year with all this nonsense.

OK, OK.  So it was a heartbreaker.  At some point Tajh Boyd was going to start scoring.  Even though for some reason we had Defense... our Offense just couldn't deliver.  How many times can I say how horrendous our play-calling is?  HOW.  MANY.  TIMES???

I hate the U.  Hate them.  If this was a home game, I'd be a lil' more excited.  As it is, I'm pretty much preparing myself for alcohol and horrendous plays.  Even though the U has been nothing special this year, they are always going to play well against us.  They are one of our best rivalries.  I know, it's sad.

So, again, my apologies from northern VA.  The power loss and game loss and sanity loss has led to a very late post pre-game.

I don't know what else to say.

Love the ABC store,
The B.S.C.
