17 hours 23 min ago	this underscores why Borges	this underscores why Borges has to go, and now.  yeah, maybe it isn't Xs and Os, but jimmys and joes, but wouldn't it be nice to have both?  we're losing lewan, schofield and gallon, three incredibly important players that we can't paper over immediately with replacements.  but you know what hides weaknesses while those weaknesses improves?  Xs and Os, not asking your players to do what they can't do and keeping things simple by forcing a defense to react to your play rather than relying on your players to have perfect execution.  does this sound like borges or the complete opposite of borges?

2 days 23 hours ago	i don't think the stats back	i don't think the stats back up that anecdote.  for instance, GERG's defenses went against denard every week and that didn't prepare them to stop spread attacks.  i think the data says that good defenses are good independent of the offensive style they're opposing.
2 days 23 hours ago	it is indeed hard to capture	it is indeed hard to capture with words how we feel after this game.  this game felt like more of a moral victory than any other college football game i've watched in the last 30 years.  but i hope brandon, at least, can step back from this game.  this offensive performance was an abberation.  expecting the abberation to become the norm would ruin next season too.

4 days 19 hours ago	Will depend on the bowl game.	Will depend on the bowl game. If Borges can prove he can put up points when the team is healthier and could work on some fundamentals in the bowl practices, he probably gets another year. If not, Brandon makes Hoke get rid of him.
4 days 19 hours ago	Didn't realize Wilson was	Didn't realize Wilson was out. Kept wondering how Furman could play so poorly without getting pulled. I wonder if Ross and Wilson would've made a difference.
4 days 20 hours ago	I think we're all in	I think we're all in agreement: right call to go for 2; poor decision to not move into a different formation.

1 week 1 day ago	even if there's no source for	even if there's no source for those rumors, it's reasonable to wonder what will happen to the coach of an underachieving team that keeps losing in crushing fashion and looks completely lost on offense.

1 week 1 day ago	yeah, this team's problem is	yeah, this team's problem is that they just don't try hard enough.  got it.  thanks, al.
1 week 1 day ago	this is the point at which my	this is the point at which my greatest fear comes to life, that my single biggest distraction - mgoblog - might disappear.  there's a style to the content and writing on this site that makes me come.  it's absent on other M blogs, though frequently copied.  it's copied on blogs for other teams.  but this place was the beginning.  i hope i don't see it leave.
1 week 2 days ago	of course there could be	of course there could be other factors.  no one could ever prove that one factor or another is principally responsible for the regression.  but what's frightening is that he is now using the system he claims to specialize in and it's far worse than when he used the system that he purposefully tempered expectations for. also, the previous two years had the "denard, do something" factor.  this doesn't.
