What's this?

Coaches are fair game and should be criticized. However, players should...


always be supported. They are out there giving their best effort everyday (and if they're not, that should once again be on the coaches). Even if one of our players struggles, they should still be supported because they're the best we've got at whatever position (and if they're not, once again, that's on the coaches).

It makes me sick to hear when kickers get death threats for missing a deciding field goal or when a receiver gets hate for dropping a pass. The Oklahoma fans booing their quarterback against WVU once again reminded me how ugly fans can be. Reminded me of how so many of our fans treated Sean Glennon back when I was at Tech. Just awful stuff.

Criticize the coaches who make millions (or at least 135K). Criticize the AD if you'd like. ...but if you ever see someone criticizing a player, I hope you do what you can to shut that down.
