Week 6: The Reckoning

Wazzu misses a 19 yard fg for the L.

28 hours ago I'd have bet my house this weekend wouldn't have turned out this way.

You enjoying the taste of that peanut butter?

Lol. So awesome. Never change, little brother, never change. 9 of 12, PAC-12 invite.

I'm not sure anyone in the PAC should be ranked higher than about 20 (Arizona, maybe Oregon). There's a whole lot of mediocre in that conference right now. The champion may have 3 or 4 losses. Parity = Mediocrity.

A single '=' is assignment, you need '==' to mean equality.

I don't know about UCF, but I think it is nearly impossible to lose to USU. Heck, they haven't even set a line on the game yet because no matter what they set it at, people will be all over it.

I accept blame for the loss for making such an outlandish statement. I guess a team has to be more than a 21 point underdog for it to be nearly impossible for them to win.

Your innuendo that I am not a genius really hurts though.

You are blessed with old person wisdom....which is a nice way to say you are not yet senile.

Sorry I just think sometimes we respect our opponents so little that it comes back to bite us in the butt way too often. It's why so many people hate us. I prefer to downplay the our superiority and then celebrate when the victory is large.

I wonder about this as far as coaches and players go. As far as respecting our opponents, I didn't set the line at 21 and I predicted we would win by only 12.

I have been saying for years we aren't as good as some would think. Our winning record is overinflated because of the mediocre schedule we play year in and year out.

Look I know fans feel like they have no effect I this way but when it is a constant thing to win a few games and fans start soiling their britches over heisman trophies and playoffs or NY6 bowl games it rubs off and players start to buy in to their invincibility.

I mean USU looked like a better, deeper program than us. They were missing Chuckie, their 2nd round draft pick projected LB Fackrell, and their best receiver. Their starting rb was playing on a gimpy knee.

At the very least we were way under prepared for this game. Which reflects a lot of poor attitude and eating up all tht the fans and local media were feeding.

Sorry just venting

Yeah when it comes to Utah State it hasn't bitten us that often. Also our team broke his leg.

There is no excuse for the defensive performance. I agree with that. But if it was because the team was buying into the hype than that is 100% on the coaches.
