Can the Bulldog head man shake off that game and get fans believing in his program once again? Brian Hadad and Robbie Faulk discuss why that one game provides the prism State fans still view Lebby and his team through.

I had tried to put that out of my mind. Oh well, back to dreading the start of football season. Feels like the 2000s.

Yeah. In some ways that was worse than Maine. We dominated that game statistically. It was a fluke that we lost. We win that 9 times out of 10. Toledo just b!tch slapped us & there was nothing we could do about it.

It holds me back because everyone just says we need more players and money to get them. There is no way Toledo should have boat raced us. Find a coach who does more with less and coaches guys up. That's what Toledo did to us. That's what Arizona State did to us. Yet we doubled down on our staff and just blamed the talent. Okay, well if you **** the bed against non con this year and go 0-8 yeah ain't good.

If he loses to Northern Illinois (or Southern Miss), we should just fire him the next day.

Especially if we lose to USM, this fan base will riot. They need to start 4-0 this year to overcome losing to Toledo. If he loses to ASU and N ILL he'll be done.

We still talk about Mullen losing to S Alabama but that might have to do more with the shorts.

More to do with a qb issue and Mullen starting the locker room guy instead of who he should have.
But we missed a field goal. We didn't get run off of our own field
