RE: ROCK BOTTOM
sure you think you're at rock bottom because you woke up in the gutter, got thrown out of your apartment for selling the stove and copper wiring.
But then you wake up with a transvestite hooker and a midget.

Something became the game changer while they were in Florida.
It was all downhill after the USF game, no accountability, no coaching, motivation gone.
Whatever it was, it does not need to happen again. Tubby has a whole team of his type of guys (except Martin); there better be some improvement in playing, attitude, and skills.
I think if he has a losing season, he needs to bow out. He is in way over his head right now.

RE: ROCK BOTTOM
Meh. Time will tell about whether we've seen "rock bottom" or not. Always been a half-glass full guy. With this issue, we'll see. A lot of variables with next year's roster.

We're not getting many, if any.
Put that thought WAY out of your brain.
It's not even just that we're not going to get them. It's that this staff really doesn't even want them.
Recruiting is not part Smith's job description .

His last two years you could hear every curse word he tossed out throughout the building. Games were 50-45 snoozefests. We had one legitimate player that last year and it was James Douglas. The only excitement that last year was the fight at the end of the Louisville game when Al Vilcheck sucker punched a manager by the pep band, lol. It was bad. Truly bad.

He is rock bottom---or the reason we are there.

That's where we are headed the next few seasons.

We're going to field the least talented tiger team in, what, 50 years? Longer? Ever maybe? We're going to struggle to be within a game or two of .500. We' ve got a good chance to flirt with being a 200 RPI team.
This is rock bottom.
