Watched every minute of every game in 2012. It was horrible. I didn't know 2013 was going to happen but I did believe the 2012 team was better than their performance suggested. I am still embarrassed about how that team quit on the coaches. Instinctively I knew the coaches didn't deserve much respect as well.

Ummm...you've already beaten two currently ranked opponents - one of whom is your biggest conference rival.

So, even if you finish with the same record as we did in '12, your '14 season will still be better.

And I still think y'all keep up the streak with Clemson. So you've got that to look forward to.

I didn't miss any games in their entirety, but I admit I had to turn off a couple out of disgust.

Oral sex, booze, and good doses of hatred for other teams will get you through this. Try cheering for North Dakota State, unless you are a graduate from the University of North Dakotka. South Carolina should be a lot better next year.

You just bend over and take it. We didn't even have a permanent coach in 2012, so it wasn't very surprising. In fact, I was expecting a disappointing season if Petrino had stayed, because all the pre-season hype was WAY overblown and it began before the 2011 season ended. I still remember being shocked when ESPN called us a 2012 contender during the 2011 season, despite that we were losing most of our star players.

I guess my point is that this Arkansas fan wasn't as disappointed with the 2012 season, as most probably think. The media was far more shocked then I was.

AU 2012 was unique in that after halftime of Arkansas, most of the team quit.

USC has beaten UGA, ECU and Vandy.

You got whipped by aTM, lost a close one to KY on the road, and lost a 1 point game to Mizzou at home.

Please check back when you start losing by margins of 38,42, and 49 points to SEC opponents.

You aren't even close to as bad as 2012 Auburn. Not even remotely close.

It's actually funny because 2014 USCe would win by four touchdowns or more versus the pure suck that was Auburn that year.

I saw the writing on the wall during the 2011 season that would foretell the 2012 season. I just hoped to God our failures were due to the massive loss of players after 2010. Early in 2012 it was clear Chizik's arse was going to be canned & IMO he was fired after the Arkansas game...they just hadn't officially announced it yet. Watching those 2 big games late in 2011 & the 2012 season I've never been so apathetic as a fan. I laughed at the blow out losses to UGA & Bama. I was so demoralized after 2012 UGA game that I knew there was no way I'd watch 1 minute of the Iron Bowl 2 weeks later. I went to the farm & planted some food for the deer. It was awesome. For the sake of you all, never ever let Gene Chizik near your football team. Hes a good man. He means well, but he is not a Div I HC. He has no understanding of player development. He will ride high & mighty on previous coach's successes...Tuberville. Like a poster before me said this yeasts USCe team is nowhere near as awful as the 2012 AU team.
