Thanks Vita. Unfortunately, I'll be working.

That's too bad Retro!

"WORK" it's a four letter word for sure!

 

[SJ76]

Classes? people need to learn how to give birth these days huh? Not a dad yet but always thought it was a pretty natural thing

If you have sex with a woman, be prepared to go to classes and learn about child birth. Just a warning

 

[SJ76]

Usually look for one of my alma maters like Penn State, University of Colorado, or University of Montana. I watched Trumaine Johnson before he became a Ram at U of M. But like SJ76, I'll watch any college football game on Saturdays if I am not working.

Man last Saturday was a trip. Ga Tech beat FSU on a blocked FG and returned it for a TD.

Opening day and all!

I'll be watching at least the first half, but that second half is tough here on the East coast, with my alarm set for 5AM...

It's even late for me here on the West Coast, but I'm an early riser. Usually up and working by 5:30 am.

Unfortunately, I stayed up and watched the whole thing. Freaking Kobe. As if his cold shooting wasn't enough, he had to call time out on the final possession, just as Randle was getting fouled at the rim. Instead of 2 FT for the win, they had side-out with 4 sec and bricked it.

The whole team went cold in the 4th, yet kept shooting away. It would be nice if Byron did some actual coaching and maybe call a time out, or make a substitution. It's almost like he's still in preseason mode.

 

[Vitamike]

I stayed up. That final timeout should have been granted at the time of the in bound, Kobe was calling it then.

Why that ref wasn't looking to the Lakers Captain in an obvious timeout situation is beyond me. So, I don't blame Kobe in that situation because every second remaining was of the essence. When Kobe saw that the ref at the inbound base line wasn't going to give him the TO he went up court to call it from the another ref.

Because of this, Randle should have never been down court in that situation prior to the TO Kobe finally was granted in my opinion.

I have hesitated to post of late because when it comes to the Rams I am a true homer. I saw the Viking game as being the turning point of our season. A win there against a good team at their house would have been all we needed to move forward. We took the wrong turn instead. The past few games I have been laughing my ass off. I do this you see to keep from crying. I have watched this team for so long. I can actually anticipate when they are about to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. The best thing for this team would be for Fisher to resign. That wont happen, too much money involved but it would be best for all. As I say I am a true Rams apologist. But enough is enough. I will continue to watch and support but this season is, sadly toast.

 

[Battlelyon]

Yeah the Vikings game was the turning point of the season, we are collapsing faster than a house of cards.

 

[ozarkram]

Oh and a little side bar. Not many are talking about. Its does not benefit our owner at all to have a winner on the field this year. Just saying.

 

[Retroram52]

Of course. Just think of the movie with Charlie Sean and the Cleveland Indians. The woman owner wanted a loser so she could sell the team and the players revolted.

 

[ozarkram]

I agree the players are revolting.

 

[Retroram52]

Yep, they are revolting by not playing or executing and it usually gets HCs fired. They are tanking because on offense, they all see how stupid Cignetti and Fisher are and this offense is a joke. Fisher isn't going get fired because Kroneke is an idiot like his predecessor.

This is not the case on defense. They all like Williams and will play for him but because they are on the field so much, the injuries are accumulating at an accelerated rate. The defense continually keeps this team in the game. The offense has tanked. It is the same thing that has happened to Kaepernick. He is done in San Fran.

 

[ozarkram]

Everyone seems to believe Fisher is a players coach. I am starting to believe he is much more of a control freak. We know he knows defense no real grips there. But offense not so much. As a Head Coach you don't settle. That means surrounding yourself with the best. And letting them do their job.

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

Fisher had promised us a "Dream Team" of coaches when he was hired, yes? Schotty? Cignetti? Dream Team material? I think not...should be fired for lying...

 

[ozarkram]

To be fair its not all on the coaches. I don't believe anyone would argue with the fact that this team is loaded with talent. But for my money give me three guys with half a brain and we will start winning. This see ball get ball stuff, only gets you so far.
