it ain't over til it's over

we do not know how the season will finish.

I watched the game on DVR and it didn't look as bad as reports. again, the defense is the biggest disappointment. but I saw effort. something was missing, and I think it's confidence. and jelling as a team. they made some plays, but not enough.

the offense moved the ball but, like they do when we lose, shoot themselves in the foot. again, I am seeing effort.

schedule is tough, and we will have to scratch and claw for wins. I don't want most of the posters here to be right, in predicting a 3-9 season. I see 3 realistic wins - ole miss, ark and Tennessee. florida and a&m are winnable. auburn and Alabama look to be losses at this time. BUT, they will not be taking us seriously and this team is not as bad as a lot of ranters are saying.

IF, and I know it's a big IF, we scratch out 4 more wins and we get a good recruiting class we can have a much better year next year.

I know, on this board i'm one of the few not throwing everyone under the bus.

for the record, I wanted Jimbo as coach. Herman would've been good, but I knew he wanted to be in Texas so I couldn't get excited. after that, I would've wanted to take a chance on P.J. Fleck. other than that, there was no one available that I wanted. So I wasn't that disappointed with Ed being hired. i'm still willing to give him a chance, which means 3 years. that could change if things really went south. So far, what's going on shouldn't be that surprising with the lack of recruiting from previous years and injuries.
