I've given up on nothing. but I'm not going to ignore what I see either. Those players who do work their tails off week in and week out deserve better than what they got Saturday, plain and simple. You can put all the rah-rah lipstick on it you want, but Saturday's coaching performance by Fuente was a pig, nonetheless. And it's not the first one to look like that this year, either.

VT has a roster primed to contend for a title, and they are not being led by a coach capable of leading them to one.

Fickle describes deserting the team. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Defending the team more aptly describes it. They deserved better Saturday.
