Has anyone here ever messed up at work?

Have you had a day when you didn't do your best and knew it?  That is what happened last Friday to our football team.  When it happens to you do you think, "I'm worthless and will never be any good"?  Or do you think, "Next time I will get back to doing good work and improve my performance"?  Each of us probably thinks that our performance will be better the next time after we mess up. Do you think our football team will not be concentrating on correcting their mistakes and may actually improve?

Someone posted below that we need to know what we are good are at doing.  Well I think what Snyder is good at doing is:

1)  Analyzing a game to find our weakness on execution and game planning
2)  Focusing his players on executing fundamentals flawlessly
3)  Altering the part of the game plan that needs altering to improve

All is not lost.  I have faith that every facet of the game will improve as the team prepares for the next game.  Because that is where Snyder excels.....getting a little better everyday.

I crap my pants once at work...that was a bad deal.  Anyone else experience that?

I haven't personally, but I work with a guy that had to make a homemade diaper one time.

Go Cats!  Already excited about the game Saturday!

I started drinking Thursday night to prepare for the game here in Ioway.  I found a TV with Fox Sports One and settled in to enjoy the game with my K-State gear on and a pitcher of Blue Moon for each quarter.  It was a nice Pak. 

I have had some time to think about the game.  I thought there were mistakes throughout the game that will not be there going forward.  I was concerned by the third down conversions, but I think those will get better.  The Big 12 is down this year, and I think we can really improve with better execution.  I am pumped for the game Saturday.

Go Cats!

after the 3:00 mark in the second quarter we outscored texas 21-14! we've got some great momentum going!

As poorly as we played in Austin, we were only two plays away from winning. For fun I'll go ahead and tell you the two...

1. Cantele recovers the fumble on the opening kickoff inside Texas' 30.
2. The butt fumble doesn't happen.

You could point to the fake punt or Hubert's dropped pitch too. It really did come down to mental errors on a handful of plays. Fix those and we can can have a respectable season and go bowling.

The problem is that this season stupid mistakes like this have been the rule, rather than the exception. It comes down to leadership, imo. This team has no vocal leader.

Agreed. It's too bad we couldn't have had a bye week before Texas. Having an extra week will give the team time to work on their issues and not just plan for OSU.
