We didn't play that bad on Saturday. Looked a whole lot better than we did against them last year.

But DAMN I'm tired of not expecting to win.

Losing should hurt. Losing should break your heart. But because of that clown, I'm so used to losing that I find myself looking for the moral victories and "improvements."

Come on, CBK. Make us expect to win again.
 
It used to be if we were playing Wake or Duke, I was thinking we had a 99% chance of winning. In fact, when Chan lost to Duke, we lost our damn minds that we DARED lose to Duke.

I used to feel 75% confident in beating UNC and probably 60% in beating Clemson. The only team that gave me any doubts was FSU.
Maryland? Our bitches.
NC State? Isn't that just Maryland?
UGAg? We are gonna fight and scratch and claw and maybe get a win.
 
It's hard to win and stay on top for a long time. Bama and Clemson are having issues. You can't stay on top forever. UGAY looks vulnerable and was losing at home a season after their Natty. Dook is moving into the upper tier of the ACC. F$U almost got taken down by BC if it wasn't for 18 penalties. The Pac-12 who everyone wrote off as weak competition looks to be stronger than the SEC right now. Craziness and unpredictability.

Things come in cycles. We'll have our time again but it's going to take time and things to happen at the right place and time also. No injury bugs either. I too remember the days of consistency that we would see historically. CFB is much different now than it was in the 70s-early 2000s. With the portal, a team can literally change their roster in one season if you sign the right players.

Total bullshit. If we didn’t have CPJ it would have been as is it now, only a decade earlier.

He was the right coach at the right time and brought some great football to the flats. So many people were bitching for his head, well you got it and the team had sucked since. And not going to get any better with Coach Collin Part 2

People were already resigned to losing to Duke & wake at the end of PJ's tenure though.
I don't disagree with any other part of your post though.

"TRUTH--you can't stand the TRUTH"----although I do think CBK can turn it around if all the "sky is falling" folks will just support and give him TIME!

I agree with the 2nd part, but saying if we didn't have CPJ that it would be like it is now is a stretch I mean CCG had us at 7-8 wins usually and was competitive I mean we did fire him because of 1 game granted the most important one but He showed we could get players here. I will say that I will always take CPJ over us hiring muschamp that would have buried us.
 
Under CPJ I often felt we had a coaching advantage even if we had a talent disadvantage. It sucks to feel like we have a disadvantage in both.

I felt that way this weekend versus Ole Miss and Louisville.
 
Don't take it too hard, man, I've known a few gee-offs, and you can almost feel the loser energy oozing out of them right onto your face.

I don't know how anybody can make the case that we are at a coaching disadvantage on the offensive side. That is literally absurd. We dropped THREE touchdown passes v Ole Miss. We were something like 75% on 3rd down-on the road against a pretty good SEC team that used a lot of home cookin against us.

Defensively, whole nuther subject.

Yikes, y'all.
 
It’s hard to believe what a bunch of winers you guys are. We moved from being totally unprepared to play to competing this year under Key. You are probably the same fans who wanted Ross fired in early ‘89. We are lacking depth and talent on the DL and LB’s.

Funny you mention that Duke game. I was there and when we lost, I was incredulous and apoplectic. I was like, "this didn't really just happen, did it?". Now I'm just hoping we can stay in the game to have a chance at winning...

We were very, very close to the playoffs in 2014. If CPJ could travel back in time and change just a few plays, we might be playing for a natty that season.

Just not true. It is because of Geoff Collins. Perfect example is Jeff Sims, He was over rated coming out of HS, but since he was a 4 star CGC promised him the world. AD TSTAN & Clown Collins botched the era and set the program back. Coach Key will correct this, but he needs some time. SEE GOL after Bill Lewis era...

If you can't see the improvement from last years Ole Miss game to this years Ole Miss game maybe you just do not want to see it!! LOL! We still have a shout at winning 6-7 games this year.
 
That Ole Miss team cost a lot more than our team. Not sure we should have expected to win.

I certain do expect CBK to win far more often than the clown. The team was competitive, within 7 early 4th Qtr. We remained virtually penalty free for the 3rd game in a row. Just need to make a few more difference making plays on both sides of the ball… which I expect will come.
