First I must say, Going into the game I was worried because everything was already going against us: Ohio State won, TCU won, Arkansas lost, Kentucky Lost. I felt like nothing was going our way even before kickoff. Then the game we battled an extremely motivated team, questionable play calling, and career days from the U Miss RB Walton and WR Engram.
I quickly turned my attention to our Basketball game where we were undefeated and looked great in last night's win over St. Louis.. However, in following of the days theme we dropped our first game.
Then when I heard our Bus had a wreck I genuinely felt that our program might implode. (thank goodness no one was hurt)
In the end, I'll admit it was a heartbreaking day (even worse as I watch this Iron Bowl), however, it is great to take a step back and look at what we've done. Every year when I used to say "Just wait till next year" I'm wasn't predicting a National Title, I wasn't even predicting double-digit wins, I was always hoping to have a bowl game to watch the next year during the holidays.
Today, I told my family "Just wait till next year", but I wasn't thinking of a bowl game, but I was thinking of a National Title. I would love to turn around and see our program built in a year, but realistically we have to know it will take more than that. It's a process and I am incredibly optimistic about where we are headed.
I've heard before that Mullen sometimes reads these posts, if so I hope he knows how much he has meant to us and this program, and that though fans are mad and are saying what is on their mind, we couldn't be happier to be pissed off about 10 wins.
Hail State!
