Well the beauty of it is we wouldn't have been 3-1 against them without that whipping. Had we lost that game by a score like 24-20, we may have never had a Mullen hire.
Losing to LA Tech opening game and losing to Auburn in a soccer match did more than solidify the notion that that might be Croom's last year. Losing the Egg Bowl no matter what the score would have been the final nail.
