There's at least 2-3 threads on the first 2 pages talking about firing Mullen. Not from rugb either. I share some of the frustrations, but if anybody expected 2014 part 2 this year they were completely delusional. We lost how many juniors and the best QB we've had in our history ever? All of our leadership and high level talent that was seasoned left the building. This coupled with losing DBs before the season started and I see we had very good chances at being 4-0 at this point just didn't execute. I'm still highly impressed at the carolina win honestly, we dominated them just like we should have seeing how bad they are.

Let's let our guys learn and grow this year and see how they look in November. If we're getting trounced 3 weeks in a row vs Bama, Ark, and OM, I'll join you all on dark heart island.

If we beat South Alabama - mostly everyone would mostly be fine. We would all be saying we aren't as good as we thought but we are 3-1 with a decent shot of going 7-5.

The South Alabama game leaves everyone with a sour taste and it will last the whole season. Because if finish 6-6 - we will always say we should be 7-5. We finish 5-7 - we just beat damn south alabama and we are bowling.

The South Alabama loss is completely inexcusable.

Losing 1 game to South AL is worse than losing 3 straight to top 25 teams. We are rebuilding so it is expected to lose to good teams. The problem is we thought our floor was winning the "easy" games but not having a shot against top level teams. Turns out our program is still at the point where we can lose those types of games.

Agreed, but there is much more to me that is inexcusable. Why don't we have a decent running back for the second year in a row? What was that performance that the O line threw out there on Saturday? Why do we continue to recruit the way we do? Why does Dan continue to give interviews like the one he gave Jim Ellis after the game? Just so many things that are dreadfully inexcusable.

At the end of the day - it's still wins and losses. You analyze more when you lose.

At this point, I won't care about the USA loss if we make it to 6-6. We're ****** and aren't going to do anything special this year. If our team just starts looking like it has pulled it's head out of its *** and becomes bowl eligible, I'll be happy, and won't care that we ended up 6-6 instead of 7-5.
