    Re: I think we sucked all along

    In terms of national title caliber, yeah we sucked. In general, no. When I saw LSU dominate Oregon early this season, I knew we likely weren't at that level. It's all relative.

    Re: I think we sucked all along

    Its amazing how you see these threads after a loss when we talked about them back in the spring as a weakness.

    some examples

    I mean we looked great against Texas ( but they are real ugly). And we looked ok against fsu turns out they must suck to. I don't think we want to take OUr ugly kid to the big game.
    I quit doing that. I've seen a lot of ugly kids, and when people show me pictures, if their kids are ugly, I just say "oh, that's nice". I feel like I should perpetuate the false beliefs that parents have of their ugly-assed offspring.

    And now that the team has lost you blame the team instead of your exaggerated expectaions...
    i will admit that my expectations are exaggerated, but i don't think it is too much to ask to win a game in which we are favored by 30 at home.

    I don't think we were overrated at the time. If the team plays as well as it can we're still a top 5 team even w/ our kicking game shot.

    Overall Tech's defense was rated 82nd and something like 110th against the run. And we couldn't/didn't run worth a dang against them. Lousy game all way round. Defense couldn't seem to make stops. Offense couldn't get going, which put more pressure on the D. Especially first half and early third quarter. I mean, we did win the second half, 31-17. Unfortunately it was 7-24 at halftime, we missed two field goals and the field goal we made should have been a touchdown drive. We were flat, banged up, major substitutions at each of the three levels of defense, Landry was major league off and at key points when he had the ball where it needed to be, we couldn't catch it. Even our all - world All American recordsetting receiver got stripped of the ball. And Tech had to be ticked off at being a 29 point dog, and our attitude that we just NEVER get beaten at home. I partially blame Vegas for some of this, personally, in all seriousness. Point spreads do nothing but damage to the game, in my opinion.
