    Skip has no hunger and drive to make Tech a better and exciting team to watch. He thrives in mediocrity that would make a few of the fans on here happy.

    As well it should. These 4 consecutive losses to USM didn't come at the hands of great teams from Hattiesburg. Most were pedestrian, at best. This year USM is currently 5-5. USM's 2017 team was 8-5, and was eventually blown out 42-13 by Florida St in the Indy Bowl. USM's 2016 team finished 7-6 (with a 28-21 win over ULL in the NO Bowl), while the 2015 team finished 9-5, and lost to Washington 44-31 in the HOD Bowl.

    The last USM football team to lose to LA Tech was the 2014 Eagle team that finished 3-9.

    Dang! D65's head would explode reading that! But, what I see on that page is a lot of passion.

    Re: Why is it so hard to be a DAWGS fan?

    I started seeing this same things last night on FB. This is what it is going to take to get the decision makers to at least acknowledge the masses aren’t happy. Tech is not going to fire an 8-4 coach but they have got to start listening at some point. Or maybe not. The wind is starting to blow.

    We were planning on coming ... my first game since Navy. But sitting in an empty cold stadium doesn't sound like much fun. Most likely not going now.

    We have problems.

    - I don't want or expect Holtz to be fired. Nothing will change with him and the way he does things.

    - MBB is the quickest and easiest way to begin to change things. Our AD will stick to doing nothing.

    - Six home games in football next year. Our AD has a chance to work toward fans coming back and to change the game day atmosphere. He won't.

    If there is a silver lining....the trend has been Holtz kicks butt with Senior QBs and does not with non-Senior QBs. We will have a SR QB next year. However, it will probably take a good year to earn the trust of the fans back. Maybe 2020 Will be well-attended.

    Our AD has us back to 5 home games in 2020. That's much easier for him.

    Those negative posts are a symptom, not the problem. It's like saying sneezing causes a cold.

    Holtz will be the HC until he retires or the big money crowd has enough.

    I predict next year attendance will be worse than this year.

    Honestly, Holtz has successfully made me apathetic about Tech football. Not interesting in the least. Didn’t even watch the USM game. Not interested in a bowl game regardless of the opponent. It’s boring one dimensional offense.

    Except against Southern Miss; he still sucks against them with NFL players at QB and WR

    Southern Miss will always match up well with Tech athletically. It looks like their QB was the better QB in 15 and 16.
