Dear Tyson Summers: Please Start Coaching
Georgia Southern

Dear Coach Tyson Summers,

Actually, I might retract the coach part. I believe you've been anything but a coach this year, honestly. Wait. Make that two years. With your 2-11 record in the past two seasons, you begin to wonder how can you even call yourself a coach. You have the players who have the talent. Stop trying to be everyone's best friend and start being a real coach.

This season Georgia Southern University is 0-4. The last time that this happened has been quite a long time. Actually, the last time we had this kind of season, it's been said that we shut down our program completely. Tyson, what are you going to do when the Georgia Southern athletic board stops giving money? Where are your scholarships going to come from? Where are you even going to get recruits from? Here are your answers Summers: You won't. You won't have a solid program.

You have put a D1, rising team in the toilet.

Actually, maybe a few feet under the ground.

Stop trying to be a buddy. Be a coach. Learn to push your men as hard as they can go. Learn to live with the traditions this amazing school has. Learn to respect your players and the talent they bring to this team.

Faithful season ticket holders are unable to handle the upset of these last two seasons and have begun giving up their tickets because it's not worth the money anymore.

However, we can't blame this all solely on Summers. We have TK and Herbert to blame as well. When will our administration see that football is the basis of this school? Academics are important, but football is the main money draw to Eagle Nation. The more we lose, the more we lose athletes, the more we lose money.

It's that simple.

Administration, please, I'm begging you. Find a coach who will bring us back to victories again.

Sincerely,

A concerned, yet true, Blue Eagles fan

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
