Has a team ever looked so underwhelming and responded?

    You don't think Appy St is comparable to playing an Orange Bowl team QBed by Donovan McNabb at their place?

    What difference does it make to recruit 5 star players if you are going to coach them to a 3.

    Meh. They outplayed us for awhile (not the whole game though), but they never dominated.

    Which is still terrible for us. Just no need to make it more than it already was

    Did you watch our OL any last night?

    Saying they go dominated is kind.

    Our OL got dominated. The offense got dominated. The team as a whole didn't. They failed to score on any of their last eight possessions--that's not domination

    Right. I think we generally understood the question coming into this year: could talent overcome coaching deficiencies to win 10+ games? That question was pretty clearly answered last night. Regression kicked progression's ass all over the field.

    This is my whole deal. Is Botch a good recruiter and ambassador? Yes, he seems to be. But as you say, what good does it do to have a stacked roster if you can't coach and manage the team?

    The o line was ineffectual to the point of bringing to mind Schrödinger's cat: if you look away from the play, are thee linemen still really there?

    So we agree our OL got dominated.

    Good.

    Just citing examples.

    There's another difference in those examples as well.

    I'd rather have the guy that gets a team full of 3's to play like 4's.

    I am blown away by wasted talk about how our ranking will be affected by this. Could there be anything more trivial right now?

    1992 Alabama beat a mediocre 7-4 Southern Miss 17-10 I'm game 2. Won the Natty that year.

    I think it was a combo of failure to adapt to pressure (team has shown that a lot) and a lack of preparation by the coaches. Underwhelming game.

    We'll know exactly where we are in 2 more weeks after we play UF and App State hosts Miami.

    watched that again recently. Pretty funny group of enrollees he had in the counesling program. Porn lesbians were fabulous.

    If you had to pinpoint the movie where afterwards Adam Sandler fell off a cliff, I think that's it.
