If you are going to take shots at me, get it right. I have never been anti-Strong. That is something you have totally fabricated in your mind. I get why the apologists resort to that attack. Labeling someone "anti-Charlie Strong" is favored ad hominem for those who have no defense for the state of the program. I am anti-Shawn Watson, have been since the day he was hired and have been totally vindicated in that opinion. Watson is incapable of running an offense at this level and if Charlie Strong truly believed in accountability, Watson would have been relieved after the final two games of last season.
This team sucks and it will be a monumental struggle to make it to 6-6 this season. Ricky Willliams had it right this afternoon when he picked the team to go 5-7. The team is an embarrassment and simply isn't improving. Again, it isn't just me saying this team will have a losing record. Maybe Ricky Williams is also "anti-Charlie Strong."
Blame it all on Mack Brown if you want to, but remember Mack went 9-4 and 8-5 in his last two seasons. A lot of the rest of us are going to put the responsibility for the embarrassment this team has brought to the university straight on Charlie Strong's shoulders. Either Coach Strong starts making some staff changes soon or he is going to start losing one hell of a lot of support. It is one thing to lose to a better team. It is something totally different to come out game after game after game completely unprepared.
And managing to beat Rice next week isn't going to prove the ship has been righted. If Cal humiliates the team in a couple of weeks, blaming it all on Mack Brown is going to seem pretty silly.
