And, unfortunately, while we’re more than willing to say that the team got “better,” they did not meet our standards of “progress.” [...] [...] Last week, we covered 16 items that, if performed well at a rate of just 75% in the Penn State game, would show, to us, anyway, that the 2007 Notre Dame Football team had made some real “progress.” And then we discussed whether or not the squad had passed that litmus test, if you will.

I wouldnt call you out on punctuation and shite - I HATE it when people do that. I thought you were being sarcastic and I was taking the other side. My bad. Last week WAS pathetic. I agree that that would be a pathetic level of progress. But, anything better is progress, so it doesnt take much for us to have progressed. It's just a low bar of a starting point. It's not where we should be or where I want us to be. It's just where we be at. Edit that sentence, biotch! I couldnt tell if it was on purpose or not.

I reject your notions of progress. That's progress for pathetic teams. We aren't a pathetic team. Not yet. If we suck again this week, we're pathetic. If we show "progress," then we just had one really bad game. It happens. Kinda like gonorrhea. Look, if I spend time proof reading and editing, it’ll take me 3 times as long to post anything.
