I'm not saying we will compete THIS YEAR.

I'm saying that we CAN compete once Freeze is completely settled in.

You guys are the ones saying we will NEVER COMPETE EVER BECAUSE WAOM IS ME.

I'm sick of that shite. It's such a cop out. Like you're too cool to care.

Why even follow the team if you think it's incapable of being built into a winner?

I'm not saying we will win this year. I'm saying we can be built into a winner.

What games did we lose that we should have won?

Let's go down the list of losses:

Bama - LOL
Auburn - Nope. No way we "should have won" that one.
TAMU - If this is one of your "should have wons" then you're crazy. Toss up game could go either way.
Mizzou - SEC East champs. Think we "should have won" that one? Toss up. Wrong side of it for us.
State - Never is a "should win" in Starkville. It's a rivalry. The underdog will always play out of their minds.

We lost some toss ups and then we lost to Bama. The ball didn't bounce our way in the toss-ups thanks to injuries and, yes, bone-headed play calling in some areas. Every good coach has shitty games. The ones at talented schools get way with it thanks to their talent level on the field. We don't have that, yet.

Top 15 classes are enough to compete in the SEC when combined with good coaching. I think Freeze is young and has shown that he will improve his game- planning and decision making. He attempts to make adjustments when something doesn't work. He's been stubborn a few times, but young coaches will be.

I just think it's ridiculous to support a team you think will never be capable of winning its conference.

Where did I say we will never compete? I certainly don't think we will for the near future (2-3 years). Are you talking about before Freeze retires? Yeah we'll probably win one in a 25-30 year time span. If Freeze is even here that long.

There are 5 other good coaches in this division and 4 of which will recruit better than Freeze on a year to year basis.

That's laughable dude.

Yes we should have won it. Just like we should have won in 2012. You can call it a toss up game before the game starts but during both games we were dominating and lost it.

They don't play their best player and QB for 3 quarters and we don't score an offensive touchdown the entire game yet it still took Dak and overtime to beat us. We should have one that game. We didn't.

Again.. There are good coaches at every school in the SECw besides Arkansas. Even if you put Freeze in the same category as Miles, Sumlin and Malzhan (he's not in their category now FWIW) they are still going to recruit better than us on a year to year basis.
