lose to the two worst Sunbelt teams this year. We already lost to Troy who is in second to last place in their conference and we play FAU the last game and they are in last place.

Just when you thought the records for being HORRIBLE were over, we have more to come.

And just after our team fooled us and showed they had fight in them last week.

That's the spirit!

Well for all those who thought we reached an all time low in Watson's last year, its light years ahead of this year.

What is it they say about those going to rehab, that you have to hit rock bottom first. Well if we aren't there we will hit it here in the next few weeks.

3-9 with 22 seniors is lightyears better?

Besides the 34 point loss to Georgia that year, at least we were competitive in the other games, and the other loses were by 7, 6, 1, 13, 13, 19, 5 and 9. About half the loses were by 7 or less. Margin of loss for entire year 109 pts, by an average of 11.89 pts.

This year our loses are by 39, 39, 5, 1, 18, 17, 45, more than half the loses are by 3 scores or more and 3 games losing by 40 points. Margin of loss so far is 164 pts, by an average of 23.4 pts.

So YES.

Still losses, though, right? I thought we were past moral victories.

But if you are gonna compare them, how else would you compare them. By scores right?
I never said anything about moral victories, just that we were at least competitive in the games. Making a comparison, I think that is a legitimate criteria.

I compared them by differentiating between wins and losses. This isn't high math.

Agree with smaug there is more to it than margin of victory. Watson would not do near as well under the same conditions. Most of the guys that were in those close games would never be let intro UAB today. Watson would be coaching with the caliber of player we have today. My opinion is he would be equally bad if not worse. Look, they both stink and a loss is a loss.

Why are we arguing about the two losingest coaches in all of football anyway? Hell Watson is getting closer to being the biggest loser of any sport in history. That's high cotton right there.

Rationalize much?

He brought his TN Tech team into Jacksonville and beat the Gamecocks this week.

And the previous week he lost to Tennessee State. Typical WB.
