I'm drinking the Kool-Aid
- Thread starter eers1foru

O-line looks aggressive, running backs finally running through arm tackles, defense is dam near predatory, secondary is lights out, linebackers and safeties are back to slobber knocking anyone willing to come across the middle. This is the most impressed I've been with any team Dana has fielded.
Hail...................all teams want to appear (and actually be) aggressive! All backs actually want to run through arm tackles and all db's want to slobber (?) knock anyone coming across the middle! How did Holgs finally get the guys to do what Defo tells them to do? Is this real or just simply an illusion? Oklahoma will give us the answer.
I've got mine chillin' in the 'fridge waitin' to see what happens on Saturday. Grape with a side of Everclear; like the good old days.
I'm all in baby!! Give me the variety pack and something with alcohol in it!!!
For the first time in Dana's tenure these guys look like they are playing downhill. And I've noticed Dana isn't talking about moving practices indoors because of rain, but instead is talking about how they're doing more live hitting in practice than ever. Iron sharpens iron. It's hard to get a hard edge when you practice like cream puffs. The reason I've been unwilling to get on board with Dana was his teams never played a physical style. Finally they have started to interject that.
!00% agree. Gibby scared nearly every WVU fane when he was announced as DC. He has been great. Dana has also bought into the more physical style as well.
We're closer to Flavor Aid than Kool-Aid.....but then, that brand may have more deserved the ref about 'drinking it'.
....not that most people have any understanding of the phrase anyway.
I'll take it. Flavor-aid,......Kool-Aid........ at least we aren't playing like we're sick from Aids. Since the day Dana arrived I've said if he can keep the WVU physical play with his schemes we could be special. Looks like he has realized it as well. We don't have the huge 5 star athletes to finesse teams. We gotta knock the snot out of'm. Impose our will.
I'm just saying that you seemingly don't understand the phrase, 'Drinking the Kool-aid'. If you're using it to refer to our team/coach while you're saying they're special....it's actually not true because you've simply been brainwashed. ...that's hardly praise.
How many people died before someone decided to coin that phrase ?? .....over 900.
Orlaco, We get it, the Jim Jones reference. But the phrase has been co-opted to infer the blind faith of the followers, not the devastation that resulted. We get it.
What I really want to know is why you chose a screen name based on an international security camera company with its US base in Jasper, GA?

In my opinion Dana has been a very forthright coach in his public assessments of his teams since he arrived at WVU. If from day one you have listened closely to what he has said and not said you would really know where his team stood.
Early on in the B12 he explained to anyone who would listen what kind of players and how many players it would take to endure the long haul of the B12. Everything he has said in that regard has proven to be true.
Now he generally has the kind, and number, of players he has said that is needed. Does this guarantee a great season? No. But the opportunity is there and its going to be fun to watch.
When Dana says, with confidence, that his team knows what lies ahead of them I believe it. When he says he likes where this team is, I believe him. Confidence and experience don't win games by themselves, but they can be the difference between an OK/good season and a very good/great season.

Oklahoma is only a 7 point favorite in Oklahoma. Even the money people are nervous about WVU this time. And the Mountaineers have given the Sooners plenty of its since joining the Big 12, even though Oklahoma always won.
The WVU Octopus Defense has been incredible. 11 turnovers! Hard tackling! A few missed open field tackles, but not many. Skyler Howard's offense is improving rapidly.
This may be the time for WVU to replace TCU as the outlier wearing the crown!
I'm hopeful. I'll be happier than a dog rolling in his own poop if WVU can knock off the Sooners IN Oklahoma!
Bring it on!
M ighty defense throttled Georgia Southern, 44-0

Yes, the blind faith that resulted from the lack of critical examination and/or peer pressure. When a person says, 'John Doe is drinking the Kool-aid' it's certainly not a compliment. ....but whatever, you're probably correct that I'm making something of nothing.
ORLACO is a video camera/monitor specialist but doesn't dabble with security. If it moves and has a blind spot (trucks, ships, forklifts, ect) then they have a product to help. I once offered a $100 to any poster who could explain my alias....thinking it would be almost impossible to guess. I was wrong and paid my debt.....and the answer had nothing to do with any company.
I don't know about your dogs, but mine don't roll around in their own poop! They are better prepared than that and simply wouldn't consider it. They can catch a poochy sized football in mid-air and will return it un-touched for a touchdown.
