I think 2012 was worse.

2024 team has some young guys who want to win.

I’m not sure we can win another game.

Yeah, they gave up after losing a close early game to LSU. Still have to give props to this team for their effort.

Regardless, this team has much more character than many of the low IQ, high emotionality posters here.

2012 was much worse. Multiple blow-out losses.

It took generous amount of gamesmanship for A&M to not score 100 on us.

If you’re asking this question, it makes me wonder if you remember 2012 at all.

2012 we had people getting shot and robbing people and committing felonies. Chiz lost the team and they quit because we were devoid fo talent at the Qb position and everyone knew it.

2024 we have kids wanting to win and having a coach with zero clue on how to accomplish that with a 5th year senior Qb who is mid as frick

2012 the team quit so it didn't even hurt getting blown out by 40 every game at the end of the year. This year is so much more frustrating because we are just completely choking away winnable games week after week. Especially with a top 3 class hanging in the balance and just looking for a reason to stay bought in

That’s completely irrational but apparently a common opinion on this board. For anyone interested in serious discourse, quitting is worst than not quitting.

I see the effort.

And now I want to see some QBs get a chance to see if they can do better than Throne.

Offensive line needs a shakeup as well.

Freeze did something stupid last year, something that no coaches ever do. He admitted he was not coaching, but recruiting in some way. So, it's very plausible that fans feel like Freeze isnt fully invested yet and that is showing up in the little ways we keep losing.

That was just another in a long line of excuses.

I'm talking about from a fan perspective. When i know before the game we are going to get blasted by 40+ and the players don't care then I'd be a fool to invest my own emotion in that. When we have potential and guys out there fighting only to lose week after week in increasingly incredible fashion when there are glimpses of light at the end of the tunnel that's much more frustrating for me as a fan. If the question is which team is worse it's 2012 for sure

I don't give a shite about anything more than the fact that 2024 looks much worse than 2023

Freeze has to get a win at UK next Saturday to match Harsin's record through 21 games at Auburn.

Let that sink in.

We should have let Harsin finish out the season just so Harsin could the rest of the losses that was coming his way. But we could not because Harsin was willing to burn any redshirt possible before he could get fired.

All we are risking now is our true freshman transferring, our 2025 class collapsing by continuing right now. No biggie
