I consider myself a 'true fan' right or wrong.  However, I also find myself 
very frustrated this year.  I saw what I thought was rather steady 
improvement in play/play calling through say the TT game...maybe BU (I 
didn't see that game).

The players exhibit fortitude to be sure...they are playing hard at the end 
of the game trying to mount comebacks.  that didn't happen last year in my 
opinion.  What about playing hard from the opening kick-off?  Why call for 
other than a short, quick pass on the opening play from the 20 vs OU when 
going into a STRONG headwind?  (Result...10 yd. sack)

I say all the time (because I believe that it the way I truly feel) that if 
the kids play well (hopefully their best) and get beat, that's O.K. with me. 
I haven't seen consistent 'play well' this year.  As a result, I am a very 
frustrated, 'true fan.'
