Does anyone know who does the graphics for these lame farewell posts? Is there a link on the transfer portal? InsincerewordsaladinvokingGOD.com.

Re: Anthony Switzer
The collective better get their (I can't express myself without swearing) together or else I’m afraid they won’t be getting nickels if this goes on.
Can’t be giving loads of money to guys just for them to leave after cashing out.

My interest is waning because of crap like this. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. I’m sure we can find someone who’ll be happy to wear the Utah State name on the jersey

This is exactly who I was referring to earlier in the thread when it comes to players I don't want to lose for what they represent to our program.

Re: Anthony Switzer
I agree this may be addition by subtraction when you factor in the "me first" attitude issues. BWagz, Gallagher, The Vigil Bros., Fackrell, Woodward; a long line of USU LB's all had one thing in common, they played like their hair was on fire and did it with a team first mentality.Fan4AggieballAZ wrote: ↑April 22nd, 2024, 3:20 pmNo doubts; the D is gonna be fine and a factor is unity and loyalty….and locker room luv…The team is gonna be fine…CacheCow wrote: ↑April 22nd, 2024, 2:04 pmI’m going to sound like a grumpy old man, but this $hit is getting old.

There was no crazy face paint, look at me dances and celebrations after routine tackles, no changing jerseys to make sure you wear #1, no constant complaining about the very program that took you in. If half that energy was put into building up a defense that he claimed to be a leader of - we wouldn't have had a defense that lacked heart and effort like it did. I welcome winds of change to clear out the dark clouds.

Re: Anthony Switzer
Completely agree. We've been blessed to have some incredible linebackers in recent years. You just pinpointed the exact reason why I think I don't feel nearly as attached to Switzer as I did to those in the past.Aglicious wrote: ↑April 22nd, 2024, 4:02 pmI agree this may be addition by subtraction when you factor in the "me first" attitude issues.

Re: Anthony Switzer
The Vigil brothers were good enough they would have gotten paid to leave if they played now.
While I don’t know the details of the NIL business, it’s clearly jacked up situation that is making college sports less enjoyable.
Switzerland is good player. I presume he took the $$. That’s all

If we have to trade Switzer for Martinez, I’ll take it 100% of the time.

I wish they'd cut the BS, you don't leave in the spring window as a starter unless you've been offered a bag and landing place elsewhere.

Switzer should jump on that train cuz Booth is 5x the player he is. Booth is the biggest loss we have had and it's not really close.

Re: Anthony Switzer
While the 2007 season ended with us only getting two meager wins, at least we were able to look forward to keeping the guys who contributed to one or both of those wins for the remainder of their college eligibility and not sweat out them leaving. Or even in the case of the guys who were done, Kevin Robinson being the big win, at least we could sit back and appreciate the four years worth of moments we got out of him.
Re: Anthony Switzer
Exactly. Even in the darkest days of the program, I still went into most seasons hopeful that that could be the year things start to turn around.GameFAQSAggie wrote: ↑April 22nd, 2024, 11:01 pmWhile the 2007 season ended with us only getting two meager wins, at least we were able to look forward to keeping the guys who contributed to one or both of those wins for the remainder of their college eligibility and not sweat out them leaving.

This season, I'm fully expecting 2-3 wins while understanding we might not even hit that.

Re: Anthony Switzer
Um, I can understand the frustration with the inability to become familiar with the players compared to then, but I don't see any reason to think we will be nearly as bad of a team as we were back then. Maybe we will have an improved team from last year but with a worse record cause of a tougher schedule. But for one thing, we have brought in some talent and will have a better defensive coordinator than we had last year that we were able to get 6 wins in spite of.shoresy wrote: ↑April 23rd, 2024, 10:08 amExactly.

Re: Anthony Switzer
Come on, you clearly don't remember how bad the Brent Guy years were. Allow me to remind you of a fun game against Wyoming in 2006 (as one of many examples available). We had 129 yards of total offense (Wyoming had 460). Do you not realize how boring it is to watch a game like that? We were completely testicle cuffed the whole game. Wyoming finished 6-6 that year, so it is not like they were great. Even if we don't have a good record this year, there is no way we will perform that badly against mediocre teams. Keep in mind, some on here are wanting to get rid of Blake after only winning six games the last two years, so that is the equivalent of Wyoming in 2006. The team that beat us 38-7 (and our only touchdown was from our defense). You have clearly forgotten how bad it was.shoresy wrote: ↑April 23rd, 2024, 10:08 amExactly.

Re: Anthony Switzer
We'll see. I hope I'm wrong. I've just noticed a very steady decline in both play and enjoyability of BA's teams. I'd be absolutely stunned if this year's team wins six games.GameFAQSAggie wrote: ↑April 23rd, 2024, 10:22 amUm, I can understand the frustration with the inability to become familiar with the players compared to then, but I don't see any reason to think we will be nearly as bad of a team as we were back then.

Re: Anthony Switzer
No, I remember very well how bad those teams were. I was at every single game. The difference was expectation. We had been so bad for so long that after a blowout loss I would go home and be able to enjoy the rest of my day.ususports wrote: ↑April 23rd, 2024, 10:33 amCome on, you clearly don't remember how bad the Brent Guy years were.

Now I've tasted what it's like to cheer for a top 25 team that wins conference titles and can compete with the big boys. Now after getting annihilated in back-to-back bowl games or losing by 28 to Weber State or getting smacked by San Jose State my day and week are ruined. I've become entitled.
I know that's a cynical way to look at it and it's definitely and unpopular take. But it's hard to overstate how little I have enjoyed USU football the past two seasons.
