I know this isn’t a novel sentiment around here, but I am still stunned about just how bad we are and how far we’ve fallen.
Over the past 10 years or so, more and more I’ve resigned myself to at least a temporary acknowledgement that we’re terribly average, largely irrelevant, and not in any reasonable conversation for playoffs or any other meaningful attainment. Not that I have much choice in the matter, denial and repression only gets you so far.
But even through all of that and including the first part of this season, I didn’t expect how we came out against VT.
And even after that debacle—including accepting this season was a lost cause and we simply suck—I STILL didn’t expect GT.
And even after I realized we were in a dogfight, I didn’t expect to lose. More specifically, I wasn’t shocked we actually lost after looking back...you could see it coming, after all...but I STILL didn’t expect to miss the 3rd FG.
Somehow, knowing we have no kicker and miss more than we make, I thought “okay we’re gonna make this but whatever we still suck and I’m ****ed, this game is embarrassing.” Then we missed and, alas, yet another new low.
Point is, **** this.
We’ve been an embarrassment, that’s not new. Nobody respects us, not new either. They shouldn’t.
We are not fun to watch or be a fan of. No ****.
But how in the actual **** does it keep getting WORSE? That’s rhetorical, btw.
Done. Another George T. Stagg coming up...
