"Yeah I can tell you I bet ECU and BYU fans didn't think we would be where we are at this moment as recently as 4 years ago, things can change pretty quick. In 2001 we were pre-season top 25 and went 6-6 and to a bowl we lost all 6 games by a touchdown or less to 6 bowl teams. That started our downslide. Just remember predictions can be wrong and outside factors can bring you down. I will not go into ours but they are legit.

Bottom line though is if you build the brick an mortor stuff like facilities and have done it in the past chances are you will get back and do it again.

Every team has slumps and losing season even the best names in the game like USC and Oklahoma's have had losing teams in the last 10 years. Fresno's BYU's everyone!!

You guys just haven't been around long enough for it to really catch you yet but it will. It wasn't that long ago (less than 10 years ago) you guys were 2-10 and 4-7 and we were goin 9-3 and 8-4.

Just remember that. Im going to bed.


I am sure you are correct, BSU, as well as the other teams I follow have been through slumps before and will be again.

I hope that when that day comes I'm not bitter and jealous and feel I a need to put down the next team that is up. I hope that I don't have to resort to going onto other boards talking trash about the new kid, and about the good ole days and how they aren't anything and Blah blah blah. :D

StillJonesing,
You have been a good sport and a lot of fun. Best of luck to ECU this coming year and in the future. I think that you are right about Holtz.

Til we meet again (and I get the feeling we will). 04-cheers

Yeah it was fun.

Despite what you think, I have pulled for you guys over the last 5 or 6 years and will continue to as well.

Good Luck to the Broncos and the WAC
(I will be lurking around in the future)

It's the same with us at LaTech at the moment. We've had a 3 year slump, but sorta improved last year. This year I'm predicting to be MUCH better. I think we'll be challenging for the WAC title again and we really only have one OOC game that looks rough. North Texas should be a nice homecoming win and Kansas is a nice road BCS possible win. Florida's a beast. We'll see though. I just like the way the team and coaching staff is looking for this year, except for the head coach... GO LaDAWGS!!

Yup, we Miners wen't through a little slump...about 40 years (with a couple of bowl season in between). It sure would be nice to go 40 years until the next slump. :)

Mondo, are you hearing anything about UTEP's plans to continue to schedule WAC schools (other than the obvious NewMags) in OOC in the future?

Hate to lose touch entirely. My Ags and your Miners had a nice BB series going for quite a while, together with a couple of FB games. It was a shame to see the series die.
