The choke job against whoever it was last season, we were up by a lot and then pooped it away. I hadn’t given up but it was a bad omen imo.

I would think that punt return that North Texas pulled on them was an early warning sign in retrospect.

This season, from the beginning to now, the team looks lost. Same poor play. Same dumb mistakes and penalties. That's coaching. I get that we don't have the same talent as the upper level programs, but that's no reason to see such poor execution and play all the time.

For me, personally, when we lost to San Jose State was the end. I expected to be awful in SEC play, but I expected a 4-0 non conference record.

Should have known better than hiring an aggy.

Correct answer. I had hope that we had found some kind of diamond in the rough but I prefer to recruit fullbacks using that method instead of head coaches.

He had a lot of energy and we kind of needed that so we all drank the koolaid at first, but definitely by mid season last year we knew it wasn't going to happen. Petrino nearly lost his first game at home to a bad team but by the end of the season we were 1 win from a bowl and looked a hundred times better. Then the second season we looked better than the end of the first. Bert wasn't quite at that level but we clearly improved from his first to his second season. We have looked exactly like dog shite every single game against anyone but Texas A and M for the last two years.

Not an Arky fan. But I loved the Morris hire and hated the O hire.

I am brilliant

Now, I know it probably wasn’t any of you, but this summer some of the Hogs on here were singing his praises, predicting 7-5, 6-6 and a bowl game, chalking up State as an auto victory, etc.

When Ben Hicks was offered a scholarship.

Struggling in the first year is understandable, but when he was willing to give a scholarship to a kid who he knew had little or no chance to be an SEC QB - he was in trouble.

As inept as the offense has been, it's the defense that's much worse.

With damn near an empty stadium - on Sr Day no less - here are some highlights

Ty Storey dropped back to pass 32 times. Sacked 0. 69% comp% 0 INT. 1 TD
Ty Storey ran 17 times for 77 yards and 2 TD's.

Ty fricking Storey.

First half possesions:

WKU 10 plays. TD
WKU 12 plays. TD
WKU 17 plays. TD
WKU 2 plays. TD

No one on defense tried yesterday. No one.

Boyd made the best of his EIGHT whopping carries and that was that. Hell, Whaley only got 1 carry in his last game ever to play in RRS.
