I'm pretty sure the complaining started after the Clemson game and continued through ULM.
Yes and I remember 3/4's or 81% of this board getting pissed about the Clay Travis article I posted the Thursday or so before the msu game. I had a bad feeling about it. And at the time I was really starting to believe what he wrote. Didn't want to but I did. Sure the score was close with Clemson but......
I knew Clemson was without the best offensive player in cfb. I knew they put up 550 yards on us and it probably should have been closer to 700. I knew we scored one TD against one of the worst defenses in college football and even that one was due to busted coverage. I just couldn't ignore all of those things and had that awful feeling that things were about to go south. I guess that's why I was a little shocked that many fled to the ledge after msu. The issues were apparent after Clemson.
My initial thoughts on the team post Clemson in the travis thread:
The next 2, maybe 3 games will tell you exactly what this team is made of. We have a SEC team we should beat, a patsy we should pound and an SEC team that is better than us. Will we look like shit against LSU? I don't mind a loss to LSU but I can't take another blowout. Miss State? Sorry, but if we lose this game that's underachieving. We have loads more talent than MSU. Anything other than a 3+TD win against La-Monroe is full of fail too (see Utah State 2011). I hope (and think) this team will get better but the next 3 games will be a teetering point of whether we get better and make solid strides or whether we become unraveled. That's just the honest truth.
I'm not chicken little like a lot of fuckers are on here but I'm also not going to be naive to the fact that we have some glaring issues that do NOT seem to have gotten any better the last 2 years. New DC, a year's more experience with a great pass rush and still almost 600 yards of offense given up? Sorry, but that's a little excessive. I didn't expect to give up 300 yards or less every game and right off the bat - but shit, 600 yards?? And would have been closer to 700 if Clemson's WRs knew how to catch.
