All things considered, is a loss this weeknd

[57stratdawg]

Worse than Maine? I say yes.

 

[RingN2012]

I'd have to say, yeah

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Absolutely. Year 8 versus year 1 and all that.

Would a loss this weekend be worse than a loss against Louisiana Tech? Or South Alabama?

 

[ronpolk]

No, the Maine loss was at home.

 

[msudawg12]

yes. At this point, it makes no sense to lose this game. USA was bad but this would be a disaster

 

[MSUDC11]

South AL and UMass individually aren't worse than Maine.

But both together in one season? Yeah that's definitely worse.

 

[natchezdawg]

We could have played that ballgame on the Moon and we still should have won...

by 4 touchdowns.

 

[Shmuley]

Our damn yankee does not need to **** the bed aGAIN.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

I'll put the sign in his yard myself if he loses this one

 

[SwampDawg]

Now you guys are scaring me. How do you expect me to sleep the next 3 nights?

 

[HD6]

It would be difficult to defend Mullen with a loss here.

 

[MarkDallas]

I post this every time someone mentions Maine, so here goes:

Maine (FCS) was BELOW .500 in the Colonial Athletic Conference the year they beat us (at our stadium, in Mississippi, in September). They lost to Delaware, James Madison, UMass, Hofstra, and New Hampshire. Delaware scored 43 on them and New Hampshire scored 50.

ETA: My point is, it's going to be very hard to top Maine as a bad loss.

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

Of course. I expected to lose to Maine.

- Sylvester Croom

 

[aTotal360]

17 yeah it would be.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

17 yeah it would be.

Agreed. He could stay in New England.

 

[ChinaDogSunflower]

In addition to losing to USA and losing to an Underachieving LSU team again, definitely s

After South Al, nobody has the luxury of penciled in wins for the rest of the season... least of all Mullen.

Even as bad as Kentucky is, I'm not taking anything for granted the rest of the way. Dan and his crew have to earn that trust back and one or two games removed aren't enough to justify any other way of looking at it.

 

[Dawgg]

I can't go that far. Not the Umass loss alone...

Maine was a 5-6 FCS team. Even if it was an away game in Hell and Satan himself was coaching a Maine defensive front of Death, Famine, War, and Pestilence and the AntiChrist was playing quarterback, there's no excuse for that loss.

Combined with losing the South Alabama game, though, it would make this season worse than the 2004 season. That season had losses to Maine, Vanderbilt, and UAB, but at least it included a win over a ranked Florida.

Coincidentally, the year Croom lost to Maine, UMass beat them.

 

[Shamoan]

Maine by a long shot. At least umass has a recruiting base. All Maine has is lobsters, self loathing for being in the United States, and being the only state you can say in its entirety with one syllable.

 

[thekimmer]

Worse than Maine? I say yes.

Absolutely not. The only way a loss this weekend could come close to Maine is if we lose by at least 30.

 

[jumpdawg]

I thought this was a NPR thread

 

[Palos verdes]

If we lost to UMASS the season is over and Mullen will not recover. It would be a good time to start looking at candidates.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Dampier thought so so too.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

I thought this was a NPR thread

That's really State related to me, for the only time I listened to the program is Sundays driving back from MS to GA after sporting weekends.
