When Cole Stoudt runs down the hill...


Nov 19, 2014, 8:17 AM

Listen, I'm as frustrated with our offense as anyone. I'm tired of watching Cole as our QB. I'm tired of watching our offense struggle so much and hoping our D can hold the other team just enough for us to squeak by. I'm tired of not knowing if Schuessler is the better option because the coaches won't play him. I'm just tired of it all!!!

But...

We need to get over our selfish little attitudes for the next 2 weeks and just be there to support Cole and this team.

Put yourselves in Cole's shoes for this week. Think of yourself on the bus, rounding Death Valley, and wondering what's going to happen when you run down the hill BY YOURSELF as a SENIOR! Are you going to get booed? Will there be any cheers or will it be kind of like a golf clap? Or will there be a genuine celebration for someone who just gave 4 years of their life to this University?

Cole may be one of the worst QB's to ever suit up for us, or not, it's an opinion we all have. But one thing is for sure; that guy got up at 4 and 5 am every morning during the offseason just like everyone else on the team to go through the grueling, exhausting, strenuous, and demanding workouts needed to prepare them for every season. He spent countess hours in the film room, meeting rooms, and training rooms just like the rest of them.

It's not his fault we are in the position we are in. It's just not! He's doing the best he can do right now. We don't have to like it, but we need to accept it and move on. We can blame the coaches all day long for not having a proper backup in place. That's fair! They get paid millions to do this, but the kids are just in college. This is just a snapshot of their entire lives.

I say we give Cole the loudest roar the Valley has ever heard!!! If he thinks he may get booed when he's getting ready to run down the hill, then shame on us for allowing such a scene to enter his mind. But imagine how uplifting it would be to his soul and his spirit to have a deafening roar on his Senior day! It could help him play on a different level for just one or maybe two more games.

It's not hard. I'm in!
