...and so it goes

Yep, pretty much sums it up. We'll win a couple in a row, folks will get overly optimistic, then we'll lose to someone we think we shouldn't and everyone will kick and scream. Same song and dance, just a different year.

lol....after 43 yrs, of it, you become immune....and I'm almost 53.....didn't have a clue who USM was until we moved.....

now they're my favorite redheaded stepchild and always will be to the worms.....

I wouldn't trade it for anything.....it's been a helluva ride along the way.....

as a fan of sport across the board, it's pretty much as good as it gets relative to the highs and the lows.....

unfortunately, the USD has us in a different bind moving forward.....some call that "progress"......that's something we attempted to increase and failed at over the last couple of decades....

No sarcasm..I'm an eternal optimist. Oh yeah, we have a weak schedule. We should be looking to solidify a backup quarterback before the start of the season. This protects us if Griggs gets hurt. I feel like we lost at least 2 games (UAB and Tennessee) last year, because we couldn't recognize Griggs was the number 1 guy versus K.Howard.

You gotta believe Griggs will be better next your under the same Offensive Coordinator.
We need a 1000k yard back, but we can do this by committee.

That many yards would hold the all time rushing record for a long time.

Loss of skill position players and secondary hurts. No way to spin it.

Griggs is serviceable.

There are teams in the conference that are trending upward (FAU, FIU, UNT, UAB, Marshall), unfortunately it doesn't seem like we are one of them.

I mean hell, we got the absolute shiit kicked out of us by a coachless, 6-6 FSU team. We played them about as competitively as Louisiana-Monroe did.

that one pretty much confirmed what many of us already about ours (ghost staff)

thanks for bringing that up a few mos. later......I had almost bleach-bit that from my 'banks' ..... I guess hill-lair-liar bested me there

I think we all know Griggs’s current injury is basically just another opportunity for Hopson to give Keon the starting gig again. Turnover mania!!!!

Memphis and USM should absolutely get a HH series going. Makes no sense whatsoever for Memphis to schedule a HH with, of all schools, ULM, lol.

The game would probably draw at least 40K at Memphis and be something Tigers fans could get excited about instead of our current lineup of G5 schools like USA, UNT, ULM, and GAState--what the heck are they thinking? Playing P5's like Ole Miss, MissState, and Missouri now and then is great, but Memphis should fill in its schedule with meaningful G5 schools like USM.

Plus, Memphis would finally beat y'all.

Rant over.

you're not wrong on either count.....I don't understand the stubborn/ignorance from either side....
