Man, I thought this was going to be a sure loss for us.

You overestimate Tommy Tuberville's recruits

Getting blown out by 2 win ECU may have cemented this team as officially worse than last year's. We may have a talent problem, but not relative to ECU. This is an embarrassment today.

Dude, it's the other dude's fault.

I guess we should blame Mick Cronin for the disastrous first two years he coached at uc.

Glad you are happy with what has happened the past few years. And things are far worse now than just 12 months ago. Open your eyes next Saturday.

I do not think that this is true. The recruiting has been better. We will not be playing 3 walkons at ol ever again.

Based on some silly stars of high school kids?

But I'm not talking about just the performance on the field, I'm talking about the state of the program, fan interest, etc.

11 penalties today?

ITS AN OUTRAGE! Shout out to Rick Minter.

How are all of those 8 win and a bowl game predictions looking?

I'm not watching this trainwreck, but sounds like our boys are giving us another great game. I keep seeing people blame TT for this mess, and while I believe that is justified some, I must beg the question, "why is Fickell stubbornly playing TT's players in a pointless game that no one in the world is watching". Who gives a f*** about this year, shouldn't he already be in "get ready for next year" mode. We should be seeing the young guys he brought in or Tubberville recruits he would like to keep, and seeing what they can do. Why the F is Moore still playing.

I'd take Minter right now.

Did i actually type that - sorry. Carry on.

How is there no one else we can put behind center?

Minter's teams looking pretty good right now.

Stephens has had a fantastic game today!

Mother nature just blessed me with some super high winds that knocked out our power. Mercifully my UC game experience is over today! Hayden through the pic, and it was gone.

If TT's players are truly this awful, then CLF needs to clean house. This is his program now, if a player is not suitable to play on this team then he needs to get them out. He gets a pass this year, but we need to start seeing some major improvements next year.

Anyone here say the same types of things in 2010?

I'm just asking for a friend. I'll hang up and listen.

They aren't this awful.

This is an agree to disagree moment. The star system is not absolute, but is evidence of better recruiting. Look at White, he is already to go. Write this year off. We will know next year about Fickell and his ability. There is certainly a reason for concern. Regardless, he has next year before I begin to bellyache about the coach.

I miss the hell out of Minter right now. Some of my favorite players came out of the era (Blue Adams, Trent Cole, Antwan Peak, Gino, Vann, Ruffin)

That's it. I don't think they are. I think bad coaching has had a lot to do with this season.

UC has played many teams with players of the same level and we have seen the results.

Fickell is going to have to do some soul searching. His first attempt at assembling a coaching staff has been a complete disaster.

Of course they are this bad. They were last year too they just had the last of the 5th year seniors we kept from Jones last class to help hide them some.
