re: I am ashamed of much of our fanbase.

And nobody hollers when LSU lost to somebody if they put forth an effort, or if a truly better team wins.

Texas lost in a dogfight because they lost their starting qb (lucky) His replacement nearly pulled it out. Oregon lost in a squeaker...they played for 3 qtrs!. Ohio State was outclassed, but still showed up with points. All of them gave some account of themselves. There were no jokes about their bus leaving town.

We absolutely were without passion and preparation....the responsibility of a head coach. What was left un-claimed was the chance of a lifetime for athletes, fans, and a University. The record is forever. Twenty years from now a W/L in a book. What will only linger in the minds of some was the lack of effort to claim it, and to assert the promenince of a program. Every pre-season and throughout the fall this board is full of "we don't get no respect" posts. Guess why.
