Yogi-"roller-coaster season"

[yogisballin 2,341]

I had heard that in a post game press conference, Yogi said that this season was a "roller coaster" season. Wonder he's referring to? Is it locker room/coach issues? Sounds like he may be questioning some of his coaches' decisions or lack thereof??

uh gee, won big games/lost games they should have won.

.... Or he was just talking about a season that was filled with a lot of ups and downs, what with wins against Wisconsin, Michigan, and Iowa. Along with loses to Penn State, and Northwestern.

Yeah, you're looking WAYYYY too deep here. It's as simple as what Hwy said.

Sums it up. I don't think there's anything to read into with his statement.

Those are our season results. No winning streak longer than 2 after November and no losing streak of more than 3. That's a roller-coaster.

Grasping at straws.

Yep, no conspiracy here. It was a roller coaster indeed that started fairly high and ended pretty low

[DocLibby 761]

He just meant the highs of a Wisconsin win the lows of Penn State. Definitely an up and down season. Oh Yoyo, I feel ya buddy. Come on home.

I wouldn't call this a roller coaster season. That implies smooth transitions up and down....

I'd probably go with bungee jumping.
High, low, high, low, high, low, high, low, then motionless until someone cuts the cord :)

If you watched all the videos of the player interviews after the game, the one consistent theme I heard from virtually every player was this -- a failure to communicate.<br /><br />You can chalk this up to youth, poor leadership, poor chemistry, or any one of a number of things. I've thought and said all season long there is a chemistry issue within this team.<br /><br />I believe coach has taught them the right things, right up to even demanding it from them during games. However, all the demands in the world are useless if you have chemistry issues within the team. And no, a coach can't always fix that. You try, but in the end, you just can't fix what someone else doesn't want fixed. <br /><br />I'd say look for some purging to go on during the postseason, after some come to Jesus meetings.<br /><br /><br />Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Maybe he was referring to shooting lights out on some games and not so well in others.  He also had several good games where he tried to take over at the end when the game was still winnable and failed miserably (yesterday with 1:30 left and down 4, Illinois knew he wouldn't look to pass and trapped him with 3 players and just took it away from him....game over).

I believe that it's more of a roller coaster season for the rest of the players. Yogi peformed in 90 % of games. Compared to everyone else that's enough

You forgot this quote from Vince Lombardi which seems appropriate for this season: "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON OUT THERE!"
I hope there's hope for next year. I couldn't bear another debacle like this one. A major change would be in order IMO.
