The internet really is composed mostly of "levelheaded fans" though. You just choose to look at people that disagree with you in the slightest as radical fans that want Grobe fired. I understand that Grobe is the best coach we have ever had and I love him for what he has done for us. I still think that last year was unacceptable on nearly every level and expect better based on what Coach Grobe has shown us he can produce. Once we have seen the greener pasture we don't want to go back to what we had in the 90's and early 2000's.
We are more talented than this year than any other team we have ever had imo, and we will still struggle to reach .500. I know that we are a couple of years away, but that does not mean that you should berate every fan that does not suck off Coach Grobe in every post.
I appreciate what you bring to the board Lectro, but I think a lot more people would read it if it weren't so rude and condescending because we don't share
your "happy go lucky" view on everything.
Happy go lucky, eh... Okie Dokie.
More like I am a fan of the team and happen to point out positives and potentialities while the rest of "level headed fandom" wonders why we fared poorly with an 18 year old QB at the helm. Take just the decision Grobe made to play Tanner last year...he knew he was throwing the kid into a tough spot and he essentially 'gave' all the Internet geniuses exactly what they wanted -- "way to go Grobie... Showin some nutz!" and the like was all that could be heard. Meanwhile, in reality, the best of us happy go lucky types were hoping somehow a .500 season would be possible. We were not suprised when the team struggled offensively. Sane fans saw a youth filled team and admitted gaps in recruiting after the OB. You never heard ol Happy Go Lucky tell you that certain of our LB's were anything close to Arnoux and Curry. Happy Go Lucky didn't feel so lucky when our most disruptive LB was immediately lost for the season and the interior line was struggling so much that a 235 pound LB had to be plugged in at NT. No,no,no...Happy Go Lucky harped on the young talent on this team and said there would be much good to look forward to but as yet they lacked any salt.
So now Happy Go Lucky is back talking about potentials and ol' Happy sees more potential on this current roster than at any time Grobe has been at WF...but Happy can't really talk anymore about, say, Kevin Sousa's upside because sure as nightfall some dim witted SOB with a phd will invariably think old Happy means "this year when the kid is 18 fucking years old".
Good Lord some of the lads out here are thick skulled and unrealistic...I mean you have a whole ERA of Deacons gone after a career of all-time highs and you think the program is just going to reload... I mean Who The Fuck Is Happy Go Lucky!?
I simply get tired of the fact that the morons passing as football fans never have anything upbeat to say... Take a look at how BZ was trashed -- miserable treatment of a guy who lost his starting Center and PG in the albeit, weakest league in the NCAA, and then hands the ball to a guy who can barely put the fucking bong down long enough to see his way to the hoop. So the team sucked -- OK -- I Fucking Understand-- the team sucked and the coach sucked worse -- but here, in the middle of summer, springs all kinds of Happy Go Lucky horseshit like "Tony Chenault looking all world eating a chilli cheeseburger!" and the like...
Look, trash last seasons Football team... Maybe they deserve it. But Gol Damn don't turn your heads away when the guy is just beginning to build for another title run. Don't listen to the Douche Rocket who thinks " it was all a dream...a wild and wonderful anomaly!" Don't listen to the moron who thinks a Dabo or a Jimbo is on his way. Don't follow the legion of ass-finch who are ready to genuflect and suck Seminole cock -- GD you Buffoons! It took nearly a decade for lil ol WF to get past the psychological barriers (still there with Miami!) -- don't throw away the hard earned attitude as revealed beneath Chip Vaughn's jersey.
Buck up you bunch of pansies and begin to SEE... Same as Tony C -- SEE "it" in Zachary Allen or Justin Jackson or Merril Noel or Antonio Ford or Hunter Goodwin or etcetera fuckin etcetera -- SEE the strides made in recruiting. Wake the Fuck Up! At no time in your schools history have you ever beaten out Florida, Tenn, Georgia, Auburn, etc., for recruits -- you have kids all over your fucking roster -- young kids-- sophomores, redshirts and freshmen with offer sheets unlike anything seen in the past -- you want to get past the age of beating Western Kentucky and Miami of Ohio for recruits -- well then Wake the Fuck up and look around. If all you can do is look at ranking sheets then yea, you will likely think A.J. Marshall was our top recruit in 2010 -- but he is not even the most "thought of" among in coming cornerbacks -- you have a kid named Merril Noel out of Pahokee who had offers (in hand!) from Florida, Tennessee, FSU, Georgia, Auburn and about 25 other brand name universities... Do you understand that at NO TIME in your entire 108 fucking largely futile years have you ever corralled players the likes of what Jim presently has to train?!
Come on Wake Forest ... Don't climb back into that hideworn shell of a previous century. It is a new millenium and the last 10 years are indicative of this new program... not the 100 painful years that preceeded. Don't go back in the hole --- Learn to Dream! See the Ring and know that it probably won't fit today or even tommorrow but that the Day is Surely Coming!
So, in closing, Show me some fucking Belief and have some hope -- or else expect me to continue to drive my boot up yer asses every time you bitch, moan and whine... because that is 99% of what I hear out here : bitch, moan and whine.
