If I can forgive that game and move on (so long as it NEVER happens again) then you can too.
I never forgave Slocum for the Snow Bowl fiasco, never forgave Franchione for Iowa State 2005, and never forgave Sherman for Colorado 2009.

I won't make excuses for the UCLA game. That was on Sumlin and I was mad as hell for a month about it. But at some point you have to recognize this teams potential and how they have really turned it around this year. They are doing a good job. As long as he doesn't give another game away like that, I'm willing to let Sumlin ride this thing out. These young boys could really do something in the next few years.

Was that the case with UCLA?

100% lock you'd be finding reasons to call those 10 wins seasons bullshite as they were happening.

Have they? Or have they simply faced teams who failed to close out the games?
Nicholls: Tied the game and had all the momentum in the world in the 4th but failed to capitalize.
UL-Lafayette: Leading the game in the 3rd quarter, they proceeded to turn the ball over 3 times in the second half, each turnover leading to an A&M touchdown
Arkansas: Leading the game 43-40 with 3:39 remaining, Arkansas failed to stop A&M on 4th down and 3rd down during the last series, leading to a game-tying Field Goal.
South Carolina: Leading 17-7, South Carolina proceeded to go in reverse on offense the rest of the game, losing 24-17.
Florida: Leading the game 17-10 early in the 4th quarter, the Gators proceeded to gain 21 total yards and give up field goals on 3 consecutive drives to end the game.

Wait... being on the losing end of two 7-4 teams playing an OT game in ridiculous conditions was unforgivable? MSU basically won that off a blocked extra point and a crazy arse lateral to return it for 2.

Like I said, it's a lock you would find ways to say any 10 win season by Sumlin was actually bullshite.

Arkansas shouldn't have gone to OT Mond got fricked by the sideline ref.

The only acceptable loss left on the schedule is auburn, and that shouldn’t be by more than a touchdown. But considering it’s at home, we should and can win that game as well.
If we lose to LSU yet again, I will find Sumlin and knee him in the balls.

Blowing a 14-point lead in the last 9:20 to force overtime was.

In that same vein, it's a lock that you would find a moral victory in every A&M loss.
After all, according to you, "Half the teams in college football lost today..."

Sumlin has never lost in OT at A&M. How does that make you feel?

The only one I really remember was this:
A guy leaded out of the passenger seat of a Toyota Prius and asked how it felt to lose the game. My cousin without skipping a beat turns around and yells "How does it feel to ride passenger in your friends Prius?"
It was worth being heckled.

I've never said that and I don't do that.

Franchione was 5-1 in Overtime. Irrelevant stat.

Like the stats you use to say things along the lines of "The home team does not win in the A&M/Auburn series. Auburn is an automatic loss."

The home team has NEVER won the A&M/Auburn series and it's relevant until broken. It didn't become relevant until the 2014 and 2015 games.
After 5 straight years of it happening, it's very relevant, especially when the last four games were inexplicable upsets according to Vegas.

It isn't relevant at all. It's a statistical oddity. Nothing more.

Even if he wins out, I'd consider it an anomaly.
Good coaches just don't let 59-0/44-10 happen. He'd need a run of 10 win seasons to change my mind.
