How good teams to lose

[Bacon_Bitz]

OH MAN I AM SO MAD THE HOGS GOT BEAT WE WILL BE LUCKY TO WIN SIX GAMES THIS YEAR.  Good teams never lose games like this.  To illustrate this, look at these losses from the teams in the group of six bowls and playoff last year:

Oklahoma State ONLY lost to Oklahoma 58-23
TCU ONLY lost to Oklahoma State by 20 - that means Oklahoma would've beaten them by 45!!!
Oklahoma ONLY lost to a sub-.500 Texas team 24-17
Ole Miss ONLY lost to Florida 38-10 and Memphis 37-24 (and some team called Arkansas 53-52 AFTER A 4TH AND 25 CONVERSION!!!)

Once you get to the actual bowls, look how these GREAT teams ACTUALLY KEPT IT CLOSE, UNLIKE ARKANSAS WHO IS TERRIBLE AND WILL NOT WIN ANYMORE GAMES THIS YEAR SO WE NEED A NEW COACH NOW HIRE SOMEONE FROM HOGVILLE:

Michigan State got shutout but kept it close, 38-0, with Alabama
Iowa only lost to Stanford 45-16
Okie St only lost to Ole Miss 48-20
Oklahoma only lost to Clemson 37-17
Notre Dame only lost to Ohio St by 16 or so

MY POINT IS THIS: If these teams, the best from last season, can keep it close and LOSE RESPECTABLY and have successful programs and not have to worry about next year all the time b/c LAST YEAR THEY PROVED IT ON THE FIELD, why can't the Hogs do the same?!?!?  Why are the Hogs so far behind these other teams, IN YEAR FOUR, still losing to TOP 10 (NOT EVEN TOP 3!) teams by 21 points?!?!? 

Sheesh, already this year even Florida St kept it respectable with Louisville, as did Michigan St with Wisconsin. 

And LSU, with it's #1 recruiting class and Heisman trophy winning RB, is trucking along.  Miss St has only lost to LSU and South Alabama.  Texas A$M is having a great year with a D that will be gone after this year, already after winning ONE MORE GAME than us over the past two seasons, they are way way way way ahead of us.  Ole Miss is going to win the national championship if they don't get the death penalty.  Auburn's coach JUST SAVED HIS JOB by getting the team to 2-2!!!!  WHY IS ARKANSAS SO FAR BEHIND IN THE SEC-W?!?!?!  EVERY OTHER TEAM IS BEATING BAMA EVERY YEAR AND WE ARE SO FAR BEHIND.

THIS IS YEAR FOUR FOLKS!  YEAR FOUR!  YEAR FOUR IS WHEN EVERY OTHER TEAM WINS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!!! And we have LOST ONE GAME!!!!  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHH

quit yelling. 

[devildoghawg]

As incoherent and terrible this post is, I actually see what you did there and +1 you sir. 

[RME]

Florida State lost by 43 and scored garbage-time points. Michigan State lost by 24 and had absolutely no offense.

I'm not sure if there's some super-intelligent hidden meaning in your post that I'm not picking up on, or if it's Billy Madison-esque ranting.

[Vantage 8 dude]

Though you had lost me long before here, this just put the icing on the cake. Florida State lost by 43 and scored garbage-time points. Michigan State lost by 24 and had absolutely no offense.

I would certainly HOPE the entire post was done with a great deal of sarcasm in mind. Otherwise I'm going to assume Bacon_Bitz has officially lost it.

[sowmonella]

Take 2 and call me tomorrow.

Good post regarding perspective.  Every team has a game or games each season where they make mistakes and don't play close to their best.  When it happens against a good team, you will likely lose unless they play even worse.  We had a bad day against a good team.  Hopefully Bama and OM have bad days against us and we have a chance for a couple of upset wins. 

As far as good team, I don't know how good the Hogs are.  Competitive yes (for now while healthy). 

But I also support fans need to vent and to discuss the good and bad of our teams. 

What goes beyond it is some find humor in annoying fans instead of leaving it in the DST.  And of course, we have to use a coach-at-another-program's success to attack our own - Nutt, Malzahn, Petrino, Anderson,...  It is what a small portion of fans will do.

He forgot to use the sarcasm tag.

Bacon_Bitz, quoting your own post for emphasis.... nice.  +1 

[Atlhogfan1]

He forgot to use the sarcasm tag.

Shouldn't have been necessary.

[RME]

Shouldn't have been necessary.

Yeah, my detectors aren't firing this morning.

I don't know though...after a lot of the threads started here after the A&M game, it's not TOO crazy to assume it isn't tongue-in-cheek.

No joke.  I have to admit, I was several sentences in before I realized it was humor.

It's called super intelligent sarcasm.......

Good post!

[Bacon_Bitz]

BUMP because the GRIND is for real! 

[code red]

I think the most disappointing aspect of the loss Saturday was....that we had several opportunities to win....and players were put in the right spot to win....but, they made critical errors.

[GolfnHog]

It's called super intelligent sarcasm.......

Then that shat is gonna get lost on a ton of folks around here!

[Vantage 8 dude]

And while that aspect is obviously disappointing, in years past we weren't always in that position. BTW while it remains to be seen, at this point I suspect that may be the best overall team that TAM has had since they joined the league. And yes, that includes the team(s) led by Manzel.

The thread title hooks ya, and ya can't help but read most of the OP.

Great post OP

[blu]

Great post OP!

[DeltaBoy]

Coach said we gave up 7 big plays and you can  afford to only give up one or 2 in a game and expect to win.

[Bacon_Bitz]

I can't tell if OP is being serious or not . . .
