Finally recovered thoughts

[Miketice]

1. Saturday was in the top three as far as losses I've taken the hardest. I'm optimistic every year. But THIS year. I believed it.

2. I can't listen to any podcast blowing sunshine up my *** yet. I just don't believe it ( I guess I stopped believing huh? ). I could care less about their take on why we sucked either.

3. I was so hung-over ( I got in bed at 6am Sat morning ) that every 17ed up drive/penalty/mushmouth run up the middle seemed to make the nausea grow and grow.

4. Why can't our fan base move past Mullen? Dudes gone. He was here 10 years. GTFOI.

5. I hate the Groupme app. Can't people just read the info needed about the 17ing t-ball game and not have a response. If you don't know what Groupme is. I'm happy for you.

6. I have Auburn tickets. And win lose or draw Sat I'm going. But geez that KY loss put a damper on it.

7. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAHHHH ( yelling sound in my head )! I got us over 8.5 ( season wins ) for $600 bucks. I told you I believed it.

8. Sorry to be so negative. Hail State.

Drink Heavily, and Often

where is the graphic that someone posted with the bulldog that said "this team makes me drink"

One good thing GroupMe does have is an option to pause notifications for anywhere from 1 to 24 hours. Comes in handy sometimes.

Really hope the players are as frustrated as the rest of us

I’m with you, Mike. I usually like to have a couple stout bourbons during a State game, but they started before kickoff last weekend and only sped up as the game went on. Not pretty...

Maybe I’ve just been listening to the right podcasts this week, but I haven’t heard much sunshine pumping. Most seem to recognize that it’s just one loss to a pretty good opponent, but there were numerous alarming issues last weekend, and it’s hard to believe that everything’s going to suddenly correct itself in a week’s time. Guess we’ll find out on Saturday whether we’ve still got something in us or if this going to be one long square peg/round hole season

SPS still not recovered from the Kentucky bathtub gin

What sunshine is there to pump? The loss this past Saturday was just embarrassing. We looked soft on both sides of the LOS against a slightly above average SEC team and totally undisciplined in our behavior. That's a combination I didn't think I would see with THIS team under this staff. Went from thinking this could be one of our best teams ever to wondering if we will even make a bowl game. Team has a lot to show me on Saturday. A loss there and the season has officially gone in the crapper.

In 2007 LSU lost to KY and went on the win the national championship.

Moorhead is our Les Miles**

 

[the dog is on the loose]

I too rank this as one of the worst lossed we've ever had for all the reasons that have been explained ten thousand times already. I know it's one game but it severely put a damper on the season to me. Like someone on here said,this is not going to be fixed overnight and I fully expect at least some more of the same we've been seeing this season. I would not be suprised to see us lose saturday primarily because mullen knows our team inside and out. If we do lose then I'm officially done with the season especially if it's more of the same we saw last saturday.

 

[Len2003]

Why can't people get over Mullen? Because, deep down, they know that it's entirely possible we might go back to the SEC cellar without him. Saturday night was the gut check that we aren't immune to going the way of other programs that have become dumpster fires.

Up until Saturday night, people had talked Moorhead up to the point that they had convinced themselves he was an upgrade. They had convinced themselves that Mullen had reached his ceiling, and we could go higher without him. They had convinced themselves that Mullen could have recruited better. But Saturday night proved that all of that might not be true.

Only time will tell what the truth is, but that game Saturday was a gut check to the fan base.

 

[RPOdawg]

If we lose this Saturday I’m throwing in the towel. Call me fair weather if you want but I’m not bringing my family 3 hours to see a 6-7 win football team. Not this year. Not after all the hype. Nope. We better find our balls this week and go on a win streak. We can still be 8-1 going into Tuscaloosa if we get our crap together. This is a must win game Saturday. No way around that. Win.

What’s so mind boggling to me is that no matter whether you want to talk about JWS, Croom, or Mullen, you could point back at pretty much any individual season and quickly figure out how the season was going to go after the first couple games.

Granted, we played some cupcakes during the first 3 games of this season, but for the life of me...I don’t think I can ever recall a time where our team looked so unbelievably explosive through 3 games, and then we turn around and get absolutely embarrassed by a slightly above average team. Getting brought back down to earth by Bama or LSU is understandable, but Kentucky?

Part of me wonders if Moorhead himself might have gotten a little overconfident, and he quickly learned the price you pay when you do that in SEC country

You know, I wonder the same thing. It seems like we would have struggled more with the other teams if we were that bad. I mean, I realize the other teams were awful, but we blew all of them out of the water. Did they just get too cocky? They obviously did based on all their immature trash talk. I guess that spilled over to the game, and they had no idea how to react when faced with adversity.

It's been a long time since I've been embarrassed at the behavior of players. Probably not since Stansbury was here. But just the way they showed emotional immaturity by trash talking other players on social media, and all those unsportsmanlike calls during the game. I was flat out embarrassed at our players.
