Listen, as comedian Mike Birbiglia likes to say: I'm in the future, also. In retrospect, Derek Mason, though an intriguing defensive coordinator at a similar school academically and athletically--and one that has had football success in the latter since the Jim Harbaugh era--was in over his head het as a head coach. It happens. He's a very nice guy, and on paper was an excellent hire to continue the success of the Old Bald Poach, but... well... what Mike Birbiglia said.
After the horrid showing against an eminently beatable South Cackalacky Game Penis squad--coached by fellow continual Peter Principle prover Will Muschamp, no less--the pitchforks got sharpened, the torches were lit, and DoreOnThePlains' Sunshine Pump got so gunked up, he had to send it to the shop for a tune-up.
