Are you drunk? Lol

On a seriouis note. Our performance this year and your post does indicate we had more talent on the roster than most fans give them credit for. Im not saying this to bash PC but the talent was there to be better than 6-6.

Wow, now this was a great post!

Amazing insight with this one!

I agree that it sucks to watch, but I disagree about the bad breaks. 2009 team was closer to the NC than this team. Missed going undefeated by... was it single digits? And then Cinci was MNC game bound until Colt McCoy got a magic second added to the clock. Pitt literally would've been a second away from playing for the MNC in 2009 if they made a field goal here, got a bounce or a call there.

This team was not even nearly as close as 2009.

Then again, bad breaks and bad calls are part of the game. Everyone faces them, and the great teams overcome them. I'll give you the Notre Dame one, though. Luck of the Irish is hard to compete with.

EDIT: They were 11 points away from playing in the national championship game. Not like, "got blown out a couple of times but it was because of bad breaks." Literally, 11 points away from the national championship. And they had a chance to win their biggest (by point spread) loss (NC STATE by 7) -- four shots from inside the 20, and couldn't punch it in.

We need a QB. That's what makes a coach look good.

hahaha

Gotta take it one step at a time.
Play well in the conference
Go to a decent bowl.
Win a bowl game against a good team.
Win the conference.
Play in a BCS bowl.
Win a BCS bowl game.
Get lucky and get invited to play for the NC
Win it.

That's going to take time.

This thread is a joke right? I think Notre Dame is really overrated and yes Pitt was robbed in that game but I can't even read this without laughing. YSU ends this craziness.

Stop spreading the truth?

Nah.

Recruit a great QB.
Win a conference title and BCS/Playoff bowl game.

It can happen quick when you get a winner at QB. Look at Lville.

Well .. that's correct. But that's not what most of you would like others to believe.

I lived in Florida and every year when Tampa, Miami or Jacksonville would draft guys from some no-name school or even from the Pac-12, etc .. the idiots would be out in full force asking "why didn't they draft the kid from Auburn .. he's a beast! Maurice Jones-who? blah blah blah."

Sorry, bolden. The overwhelming majority of SEC fans are out of touch with reality.

Face it.

I'm a realist and understand there are elite players everywhere. I do believe their is a larger conglomeration of them in the SEC. That doesn't always relate to the best teams or even the best nfl players.

Median household income. 7 of bottom 10 are SEC states. congrats on that.
