Another mixed bag of emotion for everyone....we win CUSA at 12-1 or 11-2 or 10-3(+)...........we never get in the top 25 rankings (-, but not a shocker)...........land in a bowl against a 7-5 or 8-4 P5 (+).........we get drummed by 50pts (-)........HCSH gets a 10yr extension on his contract (+/- depending on who you are).
Nah...We end up going "CUSA at 12-1 or 11-2 or 10-3(+)" plus then hammer a P5 program in a Bowl to go 13-1, 12-2, or 11-3. And I'll take it for this year.Quote:

I’ll say it again for the people in the back, we shouldn’t be struggling on offense with a coach that’s been here forever and a 5th year QB. This isn’t criticism of Smith either. He has his faults but he isn’t the problem. He’s playing better than he ever has, but the offense still sucks. That’s a coaching problem. Every week it’s a different problem. One week we’ve got little league special teams, one week we can’t catch a STD on Bourbon St, one week the Oline looks like a colander. I expect the defense to struggle due to a brand new scheme and DC, but there’s no reason that an offense with the experience that ours has should be struggling like this.
The #2 Saint QB got in the red zone multiple times and couldn't score a touchdown. Yet they won. It was a team win. Perhaps not a single player on the Saints was surprised about the win.Quote:

With such an attitude, what can possibly go wrong. Why do you guys even bother to waste your time on such a miserable football team as the Tech Bulldogs. Oh, maybe I just lost my head for a moment. Perhaps you all revel in being the long suffering fans with all the answers, and you have formed a mutual admiration society.
That title currently resides in HattiesburgQuote:

Look in the stands for further proof that this team is not good. The fans know it when they see it.
Holtz is the beneficiary of what Dooley called scheduling for success.
bruh, you REALLY don't want to see the Paw-litics board...Quote:

We may be a good team, but we aren’t playing very good. Luckily the schedule has helped us. Have to coach better and get better play on the field. Really have to work for the 11-1 or 10-2 record.
I think there’s room for something in between “all is well” and “all is lost”.
^they could start by showing improvement each week but instead we get overtime with the best winless team in the country. Yee! Haw!
whoa thats deep bro...Quote:
