I think Coach S. is the best in the business, but this, "total secrecy" approach has hurt my excitement level.
Is it unreasonable, that four days before kickoff, I, as a fan, would like to know our starting lineup?
And the poor local media...God forbid they ask a question.
Don't get me wrong, I'm excited, but it ticks me off that Rece Davis, of ESPN, can ask coach a question, and he smiles and answers it, because of the national exposure. But let a local writer ask a question like, let's say, "Hey Coach, how is Jake looking at QB"?, and you get the look of disgust, and the ten minute lecture about how the process works and how why you're stupid for asking the question. These guys make their living asking these questions. They have no choice.
He should have some respect for that, being a poor boy from West Virginia. Just my opinion.
So, here's the process, that I've been processed, to believe.
DON'T get excited. One play at a time.
DON'T look at the scoreboard.
Nope Coach. I'm going to, and we better be ahead. I'm local.
