This Week's "Beyond The Green"

[jdennis82]

This episode is just what the Dr. ordered...

After the bad taste in everyone's mouth from the loss last Saturday, the opening segment with our guys spending time with the kids at Children's Health was the perfectly welcomed reminder that now matter what happens on the field, these guys work hard to represent our University well in the community.  The reality is, their time spent playing with those kids had a greater impact on the kids' lives than the loss to FAU had on mine.

Sitting through the game segments were tough but, as usual, the sideline coverage was incredible.  Really enjoyed following coach Brown as he tried to raise the level of enthusiasm on the sideline by encouraging each member of the offense after a successful drive.

Finally, the final segment showed exactly what Ashton spoke about on the Barbershop Pod...the players truly have looked in the mirror and I'm confident we see a squad tomorrow that's fully engaged and ready to prove last week to be a forgettable hiccup.  Like EJ Ejiya said, better to learn the lessons they seem to have now than to stumble through overconfidence late - as may've been the case in 2013 and possible last year vs UTEP.

I would love to join this discussion, but the episode isn't on Youtube yet.

It hasn't appeared on MeanGreenSports youtube channel yet.  Last year there was one weekend when it didn't appear until Monday.  I suppose the person that does the uploads goes on vacation during the fall once a year?

It's on YouTube now, just finished watching it.

I very much liked the end segment. . . . So many episodes we've seen where it just ends with the players moping off the field or the locker room talk.  This was a good way to end on a realistically hopeful note.

Hmmm... while at half time the camera is with the offense, but I think I can hear coach Reffet yell at the defense in the background. Can't make out the content though.

I was fairly surprised with how calm everybody in the coaching stuff seemed. I think that is a good thing, It will make it easier to collect them after the game and move on.

However I do have to say we didn't see any of Reffet at all. That just doesn't feel like a coincidence.

Maybe he didn’t make the trip.  That would explain a few things.

It was a good show.  They didn’t sugarcoat it really at all.  Very real episode and yet hopeful for the future.

Congrats to BTG. The episode was well done and as inspiring as it could have been under the circumstances. I will be sure to call if I ever need advice on how to polish a turd.
