Why is "They didn't want to be there" an acceptable excuse?
Dec 12, 2015, 7:43 AM

Should a school retain a coach who has this attitude?
Should a coach recruit players who have this attitude?
Has anyone tried this approach in a business setting?
I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but why is it ok?

It's not a thing .
It is a measly , worthless excuse used by poor sports and angry losers.

I don't believe that college kids who work all their lives and dream of playing in bowl games don't want to be there. As an strong competitor should be, they want to be there. It's just a lame excuse for their fan base.
Now for this game, at least after we beat their worthless sooner azzes they won't have this excuse. I'm sure there will be other excuses though.
"The refs beat us" "if we didn't have those 3 turnovers" "Bob Stoops is terrible in big games" "Clemson never got called for all the holding"
Can't wait to see them.

It doesn't. All that matters is the game.

If you say you didn't want to be there, you're saying your team lacks character and lacks respect for their school and their fans. That is WAY worse to me than saying that we just got beat on any given day.

Even though some bowls can be anticlimactic for teams...

Or the coach/coaches have taken jobs elsewhere (or have been let go)...or some teams grossly underestimate the competition, ESPN had to come up with a sorry excuse for when their darlings lose bowl games. If true, it would be a horrible statement of a team's character.
Case in point - UF and Northern Illinois a few years ago. The Gators just "didn't want to be there". When in reality we know that their coach was terrible and another ESECPN hype machine was exposed. Sore losers say it. Also used for most of the SEC west that lost bowl games last year.

As a player and coach, YOU represent your school
Dec 12, 2015, 10:59 AM

Is that a respectable way to represent? GET OFF YOUR BUTTS and PLAY EVERY GAME TO WIN!!! So, NO, it's no excuse, and anyone who uses it should be ashamed.
