From fan’s view, we deserve apology from everyone after this one

I am angry. There is no other way to state how I feel. And by “I” I mean ‘we’.

Versus San Jose State — at home, mind you — we were out-played, out-hearted, and out-coached.

OUTCOACHED! Can you honestly state our level of talent is inferior to the Spartans? Please, correct me if I am wrong.

I had a bad feeling about this game all week, and I even started to mention it in my prediction for victory … but that’s not what people want to hear.

And, with all sincerity, it is the first time I felt dishonest with all of you. For that I apologize.

Now, I ask for an apology. I feel immature in a request I know will come off as entitled and self-serving. From whom you ask?

Coach Chad Morris. So many of us have supported you and bought into your “rah-rah” speak. You and your staff were out-coached tonight.

We have just as good if not better talent than San Jose State. It boils down to strategy and execution. Both of these fall into your lap.

The defense. Guys, I will never criticize players. I think doing so is a low attack at the commitment you have made to our program, our fans, and our state.

However, I am curious, how did you make it to the D-I level by not making tackles?

I am certain you all were successful in high school – was it flag football? Wrap up and bring the guy from the other team who has the ball.

The offense. I will not call out an individual player, but we were like Oprah Winfrey out there tonight: “Guess what, San Jose State defense, you get a pick! And you get a pick! And you get a pick! And you get a pick! And (surprise, surprise) you get a pick!!!”

Both lines. Hey, just watch the tape. You were both dominated.

Offensive coordinator Joe Craddock. Did you call that play at the end? If so, pony up with some expression of contrition.

Hunter Yurachek. No, our athletic director does not need to apologize, however, if he does not make some public form of statement addressing the situation and what the future expectations will be.

Honestly, I am so unsatisfied our recent performance I do not even know how to finish the statement.

Now I will apologize again to the players and staff. Yes, I am exasperated, and my words are filled with guile.

We really do love and support you, and we want the best for you not only on the field but in life as well.

We have a lot of pride in our state, and you carry a huge piece of the mantle said pride rests upon. We simply ask you feel and play with the same sense of honor.

And, yes, for clarity, whether you walk away with a win or we walk away with a loss, we are proud of you.

Go HOGS!!!
