Why is this allowed ? Why was this done ? Someone , please let's try to minimize the embarrassment .. check out my avatar, it's "REALLY DO ORIGINAL" !!!!

It’s a gimmick. I get that we’re 0-3. I get that we’re playing like dog crap. Could the sideline antics be dialed back a little? Sure. Check the energy though on sidelines. Those gimmicks keep that energy up at times. Want a sure fire way to finish this season with no wins? Take all that junk away. Tell the team that they can’t have these things that I’m sure were their idea because they suck. Sure fire way to kill morale and pack this season in.

So your saying we need more Cowboy 🤠 Hats? Cowboy 🤠 Hats = energy. Maybe we should use more cowbells too.

But, for crying out loud, could the coaches and team at least establish some minimum performance criteria for enabling it to be done? Getting beat by Duquesne the way we did should have definitely shelved it for the Louisiana game.

So your saying we need more Cowboy 🤠 Hats? Cowboy 🤠 Hats = energy. Maybe we should use more cowbells too. Haha definitely not pro Cowboy hat. While Ohio is in a sort of country part of Ohio none of these players are. Jonesboro wasn’t really in a country area (I’d say more so there than here, but he didn’t do that there). I’m just kinda irritated that the talking point lately is the choice of hat a strength coach chooses to wear. He’s not taking the thing off and riding the QB passing net around like a horse. Is it distracting if you’re looking for something to nitpick, sure. I’m more pro cutting out the BS celebrations when you’re down more than a TD and even more so when you’re winless. If you do look back though at like that ULL game at Peden, they had these shoulder pads with spikes (kinda like the Road Warriors), chains, etc… They kept the energy up and it was filled with gimmicks even when they were down. I just don’t think at this point you can pull the plug on everything that these guys came up with and bought into without putting the death blow into morale. Is there a way to dial it back? Maybe… BUT, it can’t be a get rid of everything then. The days of a LB getting a sack and just lining up for the next play or a WR getting a TD and just heading back to the sideline are over. Arguably since the early 2000s it’s gotten worse across all levels. Can you get a coach in that puts an end to all this? Maybe, but these are the same coaches these guys have had their entire career so how do you 180 on your current stance that you’ve had for years? All this sideline stuff happens everywhere. Only difference is you only typically see it when you’re winning 👀.

Walton's TD dance when they were down 28-13 looked entirely stupid. I realize they want to put some fun into the game and maybe it provides some kind of incentive to the players, but when they've scored five offensive TDs in 12 quarters, maybe they should get back to concentrating on getting the ball in the end zone instead of the celebration afterwards. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

To me, you celebrate like that when you win. Or when you make plays to get your team the lead, or at minimum, tied. Otherwise, when you're getting thumped, you look foolish and like you don't care about winning as much as the theatrics. While that's probably not true, it comes across that way. To gain a measure of respect, if I'm Albin, I'm telling them that crap ends unless they're winning or in the lead.

Afterwards, there was a huge celebration on the sideline with all sorts of posing, etc. It just seems out of place.

You're getting your ass handed to you on a silver platter yet you're strutting around drawing attention to yourself. I don't get it. Got to agree with Jeff and the majority of posters on this subject. We're 0 and 3 and about to go 0 and 4, and we have a couple of guys dressed in hats that you might see on Jethro's buddies on the Beverly Hillbillies. On top of that, we put a guy on a throne and put a crown on his head on the sidelines after a big play. Embarrassing, selfish, far from what team is and a horrible example for kids in youth sports today. I'm coaching 5th grade volleyball this fall and we had a girl get her serve over for the first time all year - practice and games. When she came off the floor she got a high five fist bump. The smile on her face when she made the serve told the whole story and that smile, the feeling that came with it, and that fist bump was all she needed. Put the hats in the closet or better yet, return them to Goodwill because that's where they look like they came from and send the throne and crown to the prop shop in Kantner Hall. It would be better used the next time they do a production of the King and I.

This kind of behavior is the essence of "me" over "team." While it's popular with some college teams these days, I watched several games yesterday between good P5 teams that had none of these type of antics. I think it has to do with the culture put in place by the coach. Frank let a little of this type of thing creep in, but Albin has put it on steroids, and I don't like it one bit. I can't image that it's impressive to potential recruits either.
