UM... and THEM.

Fire Randy Shannon. That’s the opinion that’s going on. Last week, I would have agreed that such is a reactionary and emotional. So let’s take the emotion out of it.

Is Randy Shannon the guy? I don’t know. We have at least one to two years of talent to make up for. Then again, UM is always talented. So, is that good enough? I saw there in the rain last year in Blacksburg. I watched as the penalties and interceptions racked up against Ohio State.

I try not to be emotional. I allow rationale and good judgment to enforce my decisions about UM. But I’m fucking pissed. I’m furious we lost to “THEM.” I’d rather lose to Duke. I’d be sick, but at least you can take medicine for a sickness.

As for the caller who yelled at Mr. Rosenburg for criticizing Randy Shannon, that’s bullshit. That’s part of his job… to put up with the heat, and to take the praise. So shut up, people. Criticism is healthy and necessary.

I applaud the university for its academics. I’m proud to be a fan of that. But do we have to sacrifice one for the other? Do we really have to choose between national championships and Rhodes Scholars? If so, it’s a fucking shame. If we must choose, and the administration is academics first (and inexpensive coaching)… who to replace Shannon? I don’t know… I’m asking.

We need a tight end, and O’Leary is going to FSU. We need more linemen… but who’s coming? The recruiting took a big hit.

We’ve improved every year under Randy Shannon. This year making it to the ACC title game is mandatory. If not, then I’m done. I’ve defended Shannon to the end… and I’ll continue to do so, unless we improve (reach the ACC title game). But I’m fucking pissed we lost to THEM.

I’m out. Go Sid.
