Pregame conflict

Unread post by bigfun » Sun Nov 12, 2023 7:37 pm

“They messed with the bull…and got the horns.”

Sounded like a desperate attempt at intimidation by Elliot and Coach Mike. Much like Elliot’s post game rant last week, an attempt to fire up and save a slowly sinking ship. Both seemed to have backfired.

Sad to say it, but were any of us here surprised by this stunt?
Cobb must be proud of his coaching staff.

Thank God Cobb didn't get his way and hire Elliot here.

Pretty much. Sirignano led GSU out to "protect" their midfield logo when App State did their prayer circle around it, which
App does every game home and away. Pushes, shoves, taunts, etc. then Elliott and Sirignano and other GUs coaches pushed their players back to act like they were peacemakers.

Also, this happened more than an hour before gametime, so the refs weren't there (refs are mandated to be on the field 60 minutes before kickoff), so no penalties.
