Back to the Future.

First, let me start by saying that I hope all the people that come to the game tomorrow have fun. That being said, I was just thinking today during a break at work and realized I feel pretty much like I did during the Croom years.

Let me take this chance to say I am not saying Moorehead is Croom yet, I also hope he figures this **** out.

I just have the same feeling about coming to tomorrows game that I had when I would go to games under Croom. I mean that I have no expectations for tomorrow’s game, I also do not believe we have any chance of winning. I realized that I am just going to enjoy tailgating and seeing old college friends. I have been to every home game since 1986, and I remember waking into Croom games just thinking alright guys keep it respectable. That is exactly how I feel about tomorrow.

I am not saying that Moorhead can not turn it around, I am saying I never thought I would get back to place where I thought alright guys just keep it respectable. I am more excited about the silent auction in the club level seating than I am the game.

I get that our offense sucks... but we hung big numbers easily on our cupcake opponents. Croom struggled with those too.

Yeah. That's the big difference. We've had no problems moving the ball and scoring against mediocre to bad defenses, which gives some hope for 3 out of the last 4 games.

Our FPI and Sagarin ratings are in the teens.

The FPI didn't exist during the Croom era, but our 5 Sagarin ratings under him were 114, 107, 78, 37, and 93.

Croom and Moorhead should not be mentioned in the same sentence, even with a disclaimer that Moorhead's not as bad.

This team isn't close to the teens, no matter what ******** some computer algorithm spit out. In 3 games, it's been every bit as bad as Croom's teams. In the others, it's been much better. Probably realistically about a #30-#40 team to date.

Jeez.. you'd think that nearly 10 years removed from Crxxm we didn't still have such a PTSD response to a slow start. It isn't like the teams that beat us aren't currently ranked #4, #9 & #12 with a combined record of 19-3 right now. If we still had Crxxm at the helm, KState would have rolled us and Auburn would've run up the score on our field.
