First a little background. Most will notice only 1 previous post. But, I’ve earned a right to offer an opinion. I was in the stands in 1980 for 6-3 over the Bear. I witnessed the win over Auburn that sent us to #1. That’s only 2. I also witnessed the Maine disaster. I’ve seen a lot of bad (and some good too) since my first game in 69 when we beat Southern Miss behind Joe Reed.
As a younger man I lost a lot of sleep over games like today. This team was good enough to win today. They just didn’t! For SEVERAL reasons! Not just 1 play, there were several. A few years ago, it finally, it hit me...this is what being a State fan is. Win some, lose some. That simple.
So, here are the facts. If we catch a few breaks (or don’t have a few really dumb plays), we could be 4-0. BUT, if it goes the other direction, we could be 0-4. Now we ARE 2-2. I wish it was better. I think it should be better! The good news, I do see potential. Maybe things will turn good soon? It finally did in baseball! I witnessed with my own eyes a Natty by my Dogs! If it doesn’t happen for our football team this year...oh well, life has much more important things to worry about!!!
Go Dogs!
