What also sucks...

[croomin]

The college football media was just getting ready to go parabolic on the M-State coverage in a build-up to this week’s grudge match and then a Top 10 SEC West showdown the following week. You could feel it during the pregame shows last weekend. This kind of coverage impacts programs...and we lost the opportunity. Will take a month of great success to get it back.

We never play well with that type of coverage. Probably the best thing for us, in regards to the Flarrda game.

Good point. I was also thinking about how the media disrespects us every year and projects us last in the SEC. So the one near the media finally starts to hype us a little, finally starts to give us a little respect, we crap it all away.

We never handle hype well. As a fanbase and as a team

Might I ask when the last time was "we" fans or players had a chance to not handle it well?? And don't say 2001 only rose bowl was that damn stupid. We had no DL returning so... when???

 

[dogwhisperer]

when we were ranked #1 in the country and we ALL assumed we were going to roll up on Alabama.....

 

[The Fatboy]

We aren't the only fanbase that has prayed to the golden calf hoping for a win.

 

[croomin]

Well, obviously we need to learn to handle it. The more it happens, the better the reaction.

Maybe I hang around with all of the doleful, dour, grim, surly, morose, pessimistic alums because there was not one, single state fan in our group who thought we had a chinaman's chance in hell of winning in Tuscaloosa.
