[T1]

That is absolutely correct. What would we call someone who said we would lose to NSU?

Insane.

Was not part of the stated equation.

I have a tendency to look back at 2012 and think about how bad we choked, but you are talking about losing by 2 to Texas A7M (11-2), 7 in OT to Utah State (11-2) and by 9 to San Jose (11-2). The team spent 5 weeks in the top 25 and and was only a few scores away from a BCS bowl game.
To me, playing ULM in the indy bowl would have been just as big a disappointment as not playing in a bowl at all. I'm glad they tried to get something better.

2011 wasn't that far off either. There Lost by 2 to Southern Miss (12-2), by 1 to Houston (13-1), 6 to Mississippi State (7-6), and by 7 to #15 TCU in the bowl game. We did get whipped by Hawaii (6-7) 44-26.

Those were two pretty special years back to back.

Totally agree.....

that would be faninmonroe. He predicted no wins. Maybe he just has a drinking/thinking problem.

My favorite part of Holtz coaching is that his offense allows his defense to make a difference. Other than 2011 that will never be the case with a Dykes offense. Holtz has pointed out as much.

Keys to 2015: Pick the right QB and fix special teams.

YES.....to both. Need good QB, punter, and kicker!!

That was because we were playing against the Hawaii team AND the officials!!!!
