We should have known tonight would be a disaster when the 2001 flame things didn't work

Looks like 3 out of 4 of them didn't fire.
Just a bad night all around. In front of all those recruits.

We had a blackout and flamethrowers, but neither one of them worked

Blackouts never work. We got destroyed by Florida in 2001. Georgia got destroyed by Alabama. And Louisville had their own blackout against Clemson tonight.
I reckon every new generation of students has to learn the hard way.

Do people really believe stupid shite like this? You think the fact it was a blackout was the reason we lost?

No, we lost because we looked like complete shite. The whole point of "blackouts" are to add to the intimidation factor of homefield advantage.
The problem is that its a lame fricking gimmick that doesn't make a difference. So now, its only added to the embarrassment. That's why people are pissed because there is zero point to doing a blackout.

The blackout doesn't mean a thing....its like a hype video that plays on the video board before the game begins. Its only supposed to add to the event, like extra icing adds to a cake, but if the cake is a wet turd, putting icing on it won't help it at all, and just seem ridiculous.
The team at a minimum should be as fired up as they ever will be at home games. Doesn't matter if they lose all their games, doesn't matter who the opponents are. They are on their home field with a passionate screaming fanbase in the stands there to support them. The game environments will never be more in their favor than at home games.
So the team comes out and lets the opponent out-effort them and be the more aggressive team in the gmae. Its why our team has always lost to the East Carolinas, the Citadels, and the losses to odd opponents in our best years: The other team wanted it more than we did. That's the most unacceptable way to play the game...
The flamethrowers must've heard there was a blackout for the game, and thought it meant them too.....
