even nick sabans players lost focus when they were doing really good

We don’t have the margin for error Nick Saban’s Alabama teams had. They could lose 1 game and make a 4 team playoff.

if we win the conference we’ll still get a bye in the playoffs. we do have that luxury this year.

FieroCoug

I've also heard Saban say this multiple times. But Bama could afford to lose one

CharlottesvilleCoug

wrong. BYU can still win the conference and get a bye with 1 loss.

Have you ever played on a sports team?

I get a sense that most have not

A lot of us did, and some of us were very lucky to be on really good teams.

Brisket

12:21am

Many have. I did. My class had a ton of success for many reasons but mainly because the resilience I see in this team

You act like this is something new. A lot of people were posting after Oklahoma State. Same with the Utah game.

Brisket

8:20am

Happens. That’s why teams hardly ever go 12-0. I know my focus was off at work watching all the Ute meltdown news

Yep - they are kids playing a game.

NO. THEY ARE PROFESSIONALS GETTING PAID TO PLAY THIS SPORT.

Happens to pros as well. Even doctors and lawyers. You as well, I would bet.

And they pay the price for that in criticism, demotion or job loss.

DeepCCoug

Nov 17, 10:12pm

So what punishment do you want to happen to our players.

NYCougz

Nov 17, 10:30pm

I can't answer that because I don't have enough information.

DeepCCoug

Nov 17, 10:47pm

So if Jake makes $100K, he should give back some for each poor performance?

NYCougz

Nov 17, 10:55pm

He should be told his remuneration for next year will be cut accordingly.

DeepCCoug

12:16am

You know they were expected to win 4 games, right? This season is a major

What world do you live in?

NYCougz

No, but he can be expected to be able to take criticism without pulling the “We’re just college kids,” card.

Brisket

12:17am

Jake hasn’t ever said that…chill out

arcawley

1:01am

I think you missed the point. Also, I never accused him of saying that.

Brisket

8:23am

I would reread your comment since it implies you did

arcawley

10:13am

I like Jake, I think he’s a great guy. I simply think the whole team can be subject to criticism. They’re paid athletes.

Brisket

10:46am

Glad to know I’m not the only one.

Hard to focus on practice when you're off doing tons of interviews along with regular college life Jake..maybe tone

CLCougar

Nov 17, 8:39pm

Stupid comment

arcawley

1:01am

Why?

CharlottesvilleCoug

4:50am

I'm definitely open to your explanation for the clear drop-off in Jake's accuracy and decision-making since the UCF game

CLCougar

8:45am

You can’t throw the “stupid comment” out there with no explanation or reasoning and be expect to be taken seriously.

Brisket

8:51am

People are reading way too much into those comments.

Rumor is he got his extension after the Utah game... Seat is no longer hot, undisciplined coaching returns

This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Stop spreading blatantly false info

Rumor is you pulled that out of your butt

It's not just a matter of focusing

MaximusMeridius

Nov 17, 9:49pm

Plus, you can be focused and still lose based off of luck and matchups.
