I?ve never understood the backlash that meister and the other practice guys get either. Of course when you are so invested in a coach and program you tend to see things in a positive light. But there?s no fault in that. When you get information from Ty, you absolutely know that info is coming from very close to the program. His report on the team practice being spirited with good effort was valuable because it shows that despite the losses, the team still has their heart into winning and haven't given up. That didn?t equate to a win, but it was great to hear that this team hasn?t laid down.
I?ve known Ty for years and he has been kind and respectful to my family every time our paths cross. I appreciate any information he gives and for the life of me I don?t understand why people feel the need to bring down those who maintain loyalty and positivity when things aren?t going well. I don?t understand why people feel the need to divide camps between basketball and football either.
The insinuation that positivity shows a person lacks the ability to understand reality is hogwash as well. You can be positive and understand we aren?t playing well. But at 4:00 Meister will be watching the game court side and then driving the million hours it takes to get back home. That?s the dedication that gets called out after almost every loss?hey man?those practice guys still think we?re going to win the national championship. Yet Ty always takes the high road and doesn?t snap back at those taking a shot at him. That's a pretty rare thing.
