Believe me, I didn't. I thought we'd win by a good bit, but I definitely did not think it was a sure win.

I think the same could be said about you vs Wake, Auburn, LSU, Bama, and Florida. What's your point dickhead?

That is a mean spirited and unjustified attack on clowns. You wanna see a clown? Jackie was a clown. Difference is that Jackie was a clown when it was time to be a clown.

Crooms is no clown.

I completely agree that Croom shirks the blame way too much in interviews. He's said stupid stuff that's come back to bite him. He's also said stupid stuff when times are good to justify horrible things in the past (e.g. when he said we should have lost to Maine by 2 touchdowns). All I'm saying is that he knows that he should have beaten Louisiana Tech, and realizes that his failure to do so is a mistake that falls largely on him.

....and for good reason. But saying that his football team is undisciplined, which is what he said, is more of an indictment on his coaching staff than his players. He also apologized to the fans. So I don't know where you are getting your bullshit from this week, except that we're all pissed about what happened. No reason to come up with lies and spin, though.

I think what you're seeing there is the old adage that a good defense gives you a chance to beat anyone, which is what happened for you last year.

Of course, on the opposite end of that...

I agree that your next 4 games are a key stretch. You'll need to steal one from Auburn or GT to get to 2-3 heading into Vandy, and you'll have to make sure to get that one to get back to 3-3.

I really think that a lot of the reason for your success last year had to do with confidence from the early season. You got blasted by LSU, but you were able to have a rebound game against Tulane before pulling off the upset against Auburn and then winning a freebie against GW. That got...

His statement about us "never being embarrassed again" should go down in history as the biggest lie told to a fan base in the history of sports

Damn, did you have to bring that up again. I wonder how many here were standing and cheering when he said that many moons ago......

There is absolutely no way you can say that with Croom at the helm. He is a terrible terrible coach, we could literally lose to anybody. There are no sure wins with this clown as our coach.

You're just seeing typical college football fandom, and I've been guilty of it too. You've probably seen this video, but it really never gets old. Anyway, it's the best example I can remember of college football fan overreaction. Keep in mind this was Urban Meyer's first loss following his national championship.

Barring a major collapse against SELA, we should be 1-1 going into the Auburn game in Starkville.

Our next 3 games after SELA are Auburn (in Starkville), Georgia Tech (in Atlanta), and LSU (in Baton Rouge).

Does anyone think we have a chance at stealing one of these games. I know we can pencil LSU out of the equation. I think the Steelers would have a hard time winning down there. A win in one of those games would somewhat get them back on track to the Birmingham Bowl....
