Amen….If the fans are willing to make excuses and accept mediocrity/average football teams and play, then we have reached utopia, 8 years is enough time to establish a recruiting base and put together a team that should be capable of at least competing with anyone they play each week. This team has talent, unfortunately It has no leadership or anyone who can apparently teach them the basic fundamentals about football techniques.

In other words, you want — and you would ask the same from all of us — to just forget the unmitigated disaster and national embarrassment (again, when Tosh.0 invokes your program, you know you’ve hit rock bottom) that was the last month. Sorry, but all attempts at humor aside, that’s just not going to fly. In Year 8, even your dreamed-of 6-6 record is just not acceptable. We’ve been told for years that it’s a building process. Now, suddenly, it’s rebuilding. Except that for rebuilding to occur, the original construction must, at some point, have been complete. When exactly was that point?

The Stoops experiment has failed. We have a mediocre raving lunatic roaming our sidelines, driving away potential recruits and their parents, and getting Sportscenter attention only for his epileptic-like behavior. 6-6 and a sub-mediocre bowl, as a BEST-CASE scenario, may indeed be the best we can hope for, but it is not even remotely good enough.

Anything other than an extremely decisive win over OSU on Saturday should result in immediate action in the AD’s office. We’re approaching Macovician numbers here…and actually, 1-9 with no Div. 1 wins in that stretch exceeds even the depths to which JM sank.

More important, What happens the next 7 games may very well project what the future U of A football looks like. With Division 1 football being a huge money game, recruting so much dictates your success. Check out the recruting ranking. Good coaching can improve less talented players, but. Never believe that our players are not doing their very best, they are playing their heart out. I believe that the coaches are working as hard as they can. So many of the top teams have no problem spending money on the 5 star players. I believe that U of A dosen’t have to get down in the gutter with cheats, but do need unwavering fan support.

Lol. Nice article. “bappendectomy” love it! Healthy perspective. The kids are now battle tested. Their backs are against the proverbial wall. I haven’t seen a game so I’m not sure what is up with the D besides the injuries. From Coach Stoops track record for putting together D’s it has to be the injuries or his ( I hate to say it but I will) his new, young D coach. Go ahead. Yell at me.
Anyway. Hold on to your hats boys and girls! Here’s hoping this season is golden, fole-ific, the ground game is s-carey, no passing of the buckner, jeron on the same page and the O-line is not offensive.
Go Cats!
