And yet I was scolded on this board for saying we are 5-1 (I think that was our record at the time), but it sure doesn't feel like it. And now here we are at 9-2 which I take every, single, year and it still feels weird. Maybe it's because we don't seem to be as good as we were say five weeks ago and our next opponent certainly looks to be trending upward. Or maybe some of us think our coaching is on his way out eventhough there's nothing out there to indicate that's the case.
I hate to even say this because I dang sure hope I'm wrong, but this almost feels like that year when Prescott was at State and you could just tell they were paper tigers and we whipped them comfortably at the end of the year because we were hitting on all cylinders. We are not paper tigers, but two of our last three games we have not hit on all cylinders. That said, I don't think our focus was there against Liberty or Vandy obviously enough and surely it will be Thursday.

But don't get me wrong... fan support is still down. I tried to start a Hotty Toddy in the Grove for the LSU game and not a damn person joined in. I've never had that happened. Our fans are completely flat. They are simply waiting to be let down at this point.

I think 99% of our problems this year were due to injuries and lack of depth. Still, we are 9-2. This kind of slump in support happens when you have a program do so shitty for so long. It becomes more about the social event than it does about the game. If we were paper tigers, we would have lost those hard games against Arkansas, Tennessee, and Texas A&M. We only lost to Auburn because we were playing 3rd stringers and walk-on players.
I was saying it for so long. Luke was a bigger mistake than people think he was. It has cost us dearly. I know some older fans that simply walked away when he was hired and they still haven't returned.
