I agree with the nobody-is-beating-WKU sentiment. So where does that leave us? Big OOC wins? Nope. CUSA title? Nope. Here we are, same ol song & dance fighting for "bowl eligibility" with Rick Stockstill & Co. In a year where we were supposed to have a great team with high expectations it's just another battle for bowl eligibility. No championships, no wins of any importance, and a very embarassing loss to our rival WKU combined with a heart breaking loss to Vanderbilt....Just put me out of my misery jesus christ. I really don't know why I do this year in year out. Same shit, every year, yet here I am expecting different results. What's the definition of insanity again?
We have not even talked about how bad this loss is for recruiting. WKU was already winning most of the battles despite us beating them 5 of the last 6. Now, with this ass kicking, they're gonna have their choice of the litter. Really who cares though at this point. Same old song and dance. Stock has been here a decade now. We already know what we're gonna get. I can predict the results of our seasons for the next 10 years as long as he remains coach....(goes something like this.....)
