That's the one inexplicably bad performance from this season. They were a bad team and lucky to get a bowl. They only got one because our team completely crapped the bed the entire game. All is forgiven because they boat-raced UT and vanquished the upstate foe. I said it on here before. But I made a deal with The Lord in the 4th qtr of the clemson game that I would keep my mouth shut about the bowl if He allowed us to hang on and win.
I thought this and the Missouri game were bad ... now, notice I did not state "inexplicably" as not allowing Bell "any targets, even" ... that itself is inexplicable ... anyway, these two losses were depressing ... however, a strong finish and if we get Rattler back for next year, I am feeling better ... if Harbor commits, I am ecstatic ...
Missouri is just as inexplicable. There's no forgiveness for games you lost but should have won; there is gratitude for games where you might have overachieved.
Felt kinda the same way at that time; but....this is the world we live in now. In the last 2-3 years (during the time of NIL/transfer/covid) - we have seen programs nosedive or ascend in half year stretches and in some scenarios even less timeframes. We have seen programs go from bust to NC (TCU) and seen the opposite. CFB is as manic-depressive as it's ever been...I just hope we stay on the right side of things.
Helps when you can lose to an unranked team and only drop one spot. Or if your opponent in your conference championship remains ranked after losing its last two games.
