What's antimob's take on our season?
It's not the fall that hurts...it's when you hit the ground.

They should offer the con man Kit Hughes money to come back and fire him.

That disastrous mid game meltdown and the defense not being clutch in the final minutes did it in. Team started out great but also missing opportunities. Up 17-7 but coulda been 28-7. Then the collapse. Then some clutch play. Then more collapse. I don't even care about the OT, the new rules allow for flukiness. I'm bothered by the utter inconsistency through the 60 minutes of play.

Wow. I didn't read any further than this.
I’d read more.

I am not sure he should be fired for this loss. But he should be fired for being so scared to play another QB and not making sure his Center was available.

The AD has been let go right before football season started. The team just lost to an FCS. I'll be honest, I'm expecting a complete collapse. Prove me wrong.

Loeffler saying there's plenty of football left. 2-3 wins seems best case scenario at this point. The next two weeks will be ugly.

Gibby said on the radio that the attitude on the plane ride home from the UCLA was way too casual and upbeat. Found that interesting for all the issues we laid at the feet of Mike Jinks.

The worst thing about a bad football team is keeping Huger as Basketball coach

He got hurt...wearing a boot in street clothes.
Yes. Wishful thinking. Found out after.

There won't be 12k people there for homecoming. And Strack reporting we paid $350k for EKU to come? Seriously, what is the logic begind that? There was never a shot to even break even in that game!

On the field I don't even know what to say. The offense is just butt ass ugly. McDonald is blind; threw some nice balls today and put up better than usual stats for him, but his eyes are slower than I'd ever expect for a 6th year senior... He's in slow motion.

Defense was basically just balls out blitzing constantly which got some sacks but also gave up an insane number of screen passes out completely uncovered outlets.

I just can't fathom how you block a point, recover an inside kick, finish even on turnovers (if you don't count the onside), and still get outgained by an fcs team and need a furious comeback to get the 4th quarter lead.

Hell they ran the single worst ot play call anybody will ever see, and still managed a win.

Speaking of which, the new ot rules are disgusting
