I think I'm also frustrated because I feel like next year is going to be a rebuilding year with a new qb. I've been thinking next year is going to be rough even before the AU game because of how much we are losing.

The last two games have been frustrating because Bama has played well below their potential, and there is now a blueprint out on how to beat Bama. From here on out every team we play will run at least some HUNH until adjustments are made, and there is a disturbing trend recently of that not happening. That said, you need to step back from the ledge. We aren't losing nearly as much this season as we did last. Go back and watch that Virginia Tech game and tell me that Alabama looked like a championship caliber team. This team had no business competing for a championship, and yet it still did. The offensive line and defense were totally eradicated. That doesn't excuse some of the horrific coaching decisions against the Barn and OU, and nobody is pleased with how the Texas situation went down, but this team actually overperformed. They showed flashes of greatness, but in the end they just weren't nearly as good as we all wanted to believe they were. It'll be alright.
