In back to back weeks we’ve seen Will Stein call the most beautiful 2-point conversion calls to win by 1 point in OT. First school in FBS History to do that… I love my coach man. GO CATS

[u/Iamthewalrusforreal → u/Good-College-1212]

Kudos to you guys. Badass call by Stein.

Our coach punted.

Fucking kill me now.

[u/MackewG33 → u/Iamthewalrusforreal]

Stoops would have punted

[u/wahchintonka → u/Iamthewalrusforreal]

Yeah, I was shocked when they sent out the punting team. It especially made little sense since we had just drove the field for a TD on the previous drive.

[u/Iamthewalrusforreal → u/wahchintonka]

I understand the analytics argument Silverfield made about it, but it was a total chickenshit call in the moment, and after a game where they'd won a ton of fans over, and everyone was on the edge of their seats, that one call brought the heavy boos and everyone hitting the exits.

This team deserves a much better coaching staff. Fuck.

[u/sunburntredneck → u/Iamthewalrusforreal]

Excellent B1G West Call. Too bad you're in the SEC rather than the B1G West

[u/WildWeezy → u/Iamthewalrusforreal]

You guys could have been part of the fun, but what the absolute fuck was that playcalling after a momentum shift.

That was hard to watch

[u/Iamthewalrusforreal → u/WildWeezy]

Our coach is a chickenshit. We went from everyone on the edges of their seats to heavy booing and people hitting the exits in a nanosecond.

Silverfield is another goddamn bust.

We had three effective running backs yesterday, who combined got 1 damn carry in the 4th quarter, while his Memphis transfer...the least effective of the four backs who played...got all of the carries in the 4th. And got stuffed over and over.

It's maddening.

3rd and 10 with less than 2 minutes left, and they run a fricking inside zone play with said Memphis transfer. The hell? I could understand a draw play there, or a screen of some sort, even a goddamn wishbone style option might have worked, but a fricking run up the middle? Jesus.

I don't think there's a single Hog fan who doesn't love and respect Sam Pittman, but it was time when support, attendance, and donations started dropping off. Now? Six games in people are wearing paper bags, and support has dropped even further.

Yesterday Silverfield had a chance to win back some support. A chance to build some momentum and give fans a little hope for the future...and he fucking chooses to wave a white flag instead.

It's FCM all over again, except FCM would have lost to Tulsa.

[u/Low_Chemistry_7908 → u/Iamthewalrusforreal]

You won’t convince me that’s not because of the spread. Sports betting directly influenced a coaches decision to punt and not have Tennessee cover.

[u/SpacemanSpiff61 → u/Good-College-1212]

Actually Will just said on post-game radio interview the play call was throw to Willie but when LBs bailed, Minchie chose to run it in.

[u/Good-College-1212 → u/SpacemanSpiff61]

Heard that, credit to Kenny

[u/Semper-Fido → u/Good-College-1212]

[u/zSynzrgy → u/Good-College-1212]

I miss my offensive coordinator

[u/Sad_Ad_9429 → u/zSynzrgy]

Damn if that offense didn’t remind me of Oregon. Until this year. I miss that offense

[u/QuiGonTom → u/Good-College-1212]

You guys got a real one there

[u/Prowindowlicker → u/Good-College-1212]

I’m so jealous

[u/Orion14159 → u/Prowindowlicker]

Sumrall will have Florida winning in a year or so. We just rebuilt our entire first string in the portal and Florida has twice our budget

[u/FlounderElectrical84 → u/Good-College-1212]

Question- does Stein call timeout if Kiffin doesn’t on the 2pt? I thought the first formation was nuts but then Kiffin called timeout.

[u/tenclubber → u/FlounderElectrical84]

Absolutely. Matter of fact they came back out in the same formation and called timeout. Last week Shane Beamer was criticicized for not calling a TO before UK's 2 point play. He took a timeout home with him. Kiffin wasn't going to do that, but Stein wasn't going to show him the actual 2 point play formation until he used the timeout.

[u/Orion14159 → u/tenclubber]

Stein out Kiffined Kiffin tonight

[u/graviton_ghost → u/Good-College-1212]

We miss your coach
