No one is emotionally invested enough in this program anymore to need it. We wanted Dave fired years ago

Legit had my VT friend text me “wow great win” after the INT and did a “buddy we are never no drama” and I hate that it’s expected at this point.

People are going to rip Bailey for not holding onto that football, and yes, he can get ripped for that. However, they run the short down QB for 3 plays, made no real effort to actually get a 1st down, then tried to get cute on running the clock out. That’s on the coaching staff. Just fucking pick up the 1st man. They made no effort other than 3 draws.

This is a Dave disaster class level game and it’s on him more than anyone.

And is any of us surprised this? Is any State fan truly surprised that under this coaching regime, this is how we lose? lol, absolutely not.

This is a moment where Boo has a decision to make that affect the trajectory of this franchise. If you allow Dave to stay, then this program has no hope for the foreseeable. It doesn’t matter if you don’t exactly have someone lined up, it doesn’t matter if you lose Gunner. This kind of loss sticks and you need to cut it now. Well, more like four years ago, but today is the next best option.

The play was to kneel down in the end zone. Which is the right play call. Cj fucked it up. He’s the one with the ball that made the decision to not kneel
