I would want something much better for some of our guys. But look - getting here is a huge win in itself. Really huge - only two teams made it.
There were a lot of things I was unhappy with on both O and D but the coaches don't need my input. LSU was really solid - really solid. Clemson was clearly not. I won't call out anyone but our stars were not there in the second half - not a single shining moment. Blame the players, the plan, the coaches, ... whatever - it doesn't matter. They don't owe me a thing. They played a heck of a season and I thank them and congratulate them.
Wish we were getting the trophy. I hope the guys returning commit the way Wilkins, Lawrence, Ferrell and Bryant did - and dedicate every practice and game to winning the whole thing.
But in the end - it isn't about the fans. At least in my view. It is about the players. I hope they feel good about their effort, have no regrets, and are looking forward to the dawn tomorrow and what that will bring.
