Compared to other teams, what would you say?
Horseshoe up our butt, or snake bit?
My vote is snake bit for sure. Ever since the two screwed, I mean reviewed, calls that went against us at Tech in 2005, it seems that we are snake bit. Every time there is a play reviewed, I just know it's going to go against us. The Oregon game in 2006 just burnt that thought into my head forever.
The bad luck is not just bad calls but also injuries. Sure every team suffers injuries. You are suppose to be good enough to overcome them. But the timing of ours, and to the key players, just seems like we can't get a break.
The bad luck culminated in the "plagues and curses" of 2009 (a quote from Berry Tramel) where a measly 15 more points would have won us four more games. Wouldn't have put us in the NC game, but still...
We've had success anyway of course. I'm just reflecting on what might have been. Maybe the tide has turned. The machine is loaded. I'm hoping there aren't any more gremlins in it.
