despite the chippy nature in the live game thread, I respect you guys, and I'm proud to be in a conference with our Marshall brothers.

I second that emotion...

Thanks for that. Now, after watching us play, do you think we're "just being dramatic" when we say things have gone to crap with this team. Some of the other fans I understand might not see it because they're happy to get a win over us or any conference foe and that sort of clouds there --is it us or is it them-- radar. But you guys know our team and our style. That doesn't even resemble bad Herd teams of the past.

Didn't think you guys were THAT pitiful, just thought we were pretty pitiful ourselves....

your offense looked pretty bad. looks like you have some talented players on that team though. so yeah, perhaps a little reason for concern.

It's like we have all the Chess pieces on the board and someone didn't tell us we're playing Chinese Checkers.

Sadly, that was our best 4 quarter defensive effort of the season. Don't get me wrong, glad the guys tried to step up and glad the DC tried to mix things up, but it shows we just don't have the horses.

On offense I just have absolutely no idea what we are even trying to accomplish. This is our 7th year with this OC, 2nd with this QB. I've watched over 50 games live and at least another 25 on TV and like to think I pay pretty good attention and have a pretty good understanding of our team while the OC has been here. I like to think I have a pretty good understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of our current roster. All that said, I don't get it.

Oh, forget to say - good game. You guys had some execution issues or it would have been worse, but you played with good intensity the whole game. Congrats.

Yeah...at the start of the 4th Qtr we were calling for the execution of our coaches...

That was just two bad football teams. Glad to get the win, but we looked really bad.

USM... Good game boys! It was ugly, but a win is a win... Our defense is actually not bad...it's the only unit that is improving...but they can only do so much before they tire..

Our offense...is just that... Offensive... Our kicking game.. We need to just go for it because our kicker can't hit a bull in the ass with a bass fiddle..

USM has its swag back.. Good luck to you all going forward...

And Stink... Look for me during our next home game... I'll have a special paper hat on... Hopefully, it will rival yours

You're right X... I like Tech a lot, but I have loyalty to USM as our long time mates... Good luck... But hey... Don't sleep on Charlotte

I had to stop at this one and just state, "all the above applies"

pls don't take this as piling on, but we should have curb stomped Marshall tonight....

we're in trouble if the play calling doesn't improve....

at least they finally realized that tossing to Allen/Stallings/Ito is a pretty damn good move when the qb has a bumba thumba....

DJ has hands of stone (and I hope he's okay inj wise) and Isaiah somehow has to regain his confidence....or we're screwed relative to continual rebuilding...

there was a play in the 3rd where your inside lb made a move that reminded of some we've had in the past....can't remember his number....was the pass to Ito around the 12....he was playing spy and made a recovery that caused Ito to miss that catch (being low wasn't the problem....it was his reaction that caused that)

your D played well tonight.....your O sucks (I think you won't be offended....I wouldn't if the roles were reversed)

and man.....just post the pic (I hope you don't have to....b/c that really fk'n sucks when it gets to that point)

at the end of the day....it's playing the game and remembering that we can shake hands and enjoy what little is left w/o distraction....

Our o sucks, swallows, and makes a turd out of the wad... And if I were there, I'd gladly drop by your gate and crack a few more with yaz and yer peeps... Then we'd go hit the Hattiesburg scene... Cheers my friend.

Oh, and I will take the pic and send it to ya

shite....I'm gonna roll off the couch and wake up on the floor after tonight

we have zero gimmes moving forward....that's pretty obvious now...

our synergy is like dorothy clicking heels w/o touching on offense....we're in a pickle whether our fan base understands it or not....

Mullens is a USM qb, but he ain't no Favre.... Belie Dat!

no school will ever have another Favre.....and gd was it fun watching/partying/then watching it play out.....wouldn't trade it for anything.....just like you guys and Moss.....special talents can't be tamed.....

Mullens broke Davis' passing record tonight.....is meaningless in today's game....
