COACH SPEAK: Brown talks Backyard Brawl, Injuries and More

NB:” I put that video on Sunday, saying what I basically wanted to say. It was a great atmosphere and I appreciated everyone for showing up. It was one of the best atmospheres I’ve ever been apart of. Thought our guys competed hard and played the game the right way, but made some mistakes at critical times.”

Thoughts: After dwelling on it, I understand a bit more why the coach may have put the video out. A tough loss to an opponent followed by a lackluster opponent could have reduced some fan participation. I think the tone of the message and the timing were not great but hopefully everyone packs the stadium and a few consecutive wins can put the video behind us and get on to enjoying the fall.
