Than enjoyable to watch. What could have been.

Our offense was pathetic this year against quality competition considering a 3rd yr starter at QB and the weapons we had.

Changes need to be made.

So we have that

This is beyond unacceptable

So what happened to having quality backs? The f around with Judkins and cost them Entieine. The evaluations on RB was a crime. Smith convinced Lane to go get Parrish which a ergrigous mistake and all the other guys brought in wasn't even used which is amazing. So you go spend money on players that don't even get used and who does that blame fall on hmmmm? 100 percent Smith perhaps it was a huge mistake for Lane to bring his buddy back to Oxford. I mean when you have to take a WR and make him a running back the team has a serious issue.

Loses in the most embarrassing fashion, the conference gives us a lot of money sure but legitimately what have they done since Lane got here that didn’t **** us? They refuse to give us night games this year, they refuse to get professional referees who all just so happen to **** us, and now they want to go to 9 games a year despite the fact that the committee just absolutely doesn’t give a **** about strength of schedule. If there were a school with good fans in the mix I’d say different, but the absolute dregs of society called Tennessee fans, Texas Fans, Georgia fans absolutely do not deserve the joy of success with how utterly ****ing disgusting they are as people. I hope Greg Sankey burns in hell, **** him.
