Not a big fan of many of Tort's comments.
* If Mike Nash wasn't an outgoing player I doubt he gets called out like that -- deserved or not. Bus ... Meet Mike Nash.
* The comment of they'd beat Shepherd 7-8 times out of 10 games? Come on. You don't get 10 chances. You got one. At home.
* Same with West Florida. You don't get 10 chances. You got one. At home. In cold weather. And, (as somewhat usual) started slow.
* It's pretty clear they will be QB shopping. But, that was expected.

Players have to pay attention to details. A little detail like not lining up at the hash mark corresponding to the wide side of the field and not backpedaled to cover the deep middle third of the field disrupted the defensive scheme. Give credit to Badget for spotting it and taking advantage of the lapse. The coaching staff has all year to figure it out. They need to just forget about the Foosball for the next couple of days and enjoy the Thanksgiving with family and friends. I would look for them to bring in an OL transfer to round out the line. Maybe a DL transfer to help anchor that side of line.

Whatever happened to "It's on me" or "We win as a team and we lose as a team", or other coachspeak? It's never 1 guy's fault. And to not know who it actually was and call out the true freshman Haynes initially is not a good thing.
I'm not really big on the QB comment, either. Can we say good things about Davis, or not?
Oh, well, Happy Thanksgiving.

He didn't. That's on me. I watched the replay after the game and erroneously assumed it was Haynes because it looked like he was late getting over to the play. But it wasn't his fault. Actually, Tort told me Haynes had a really good game. My fault.

Well, whether it was Tort or Matt---it was WRONG to call out a player like that. I hated reading that in a newspaper print. I don't ever recall Frank, Tep or Curt doing anything like that. It that was a writer's bad phrasing then that needs to be cleared up in the paper IMHO. It made Tort look pretty bad.
But beyond that---Matt did do a fantastic job throughout the season as did Jack and the broadcast team.
