The staff and team were not focused and never matched their intensity from the first snap. They should not have went home on thursday, they should not have taken a bus the day of the game. You take every single advantage you can get, and you avoid anything, even the smallest thing that can hurt you. Period. Mullen did not do that
Did he really say that??????????????????????Quote:

Yea Coach Mullen made the statement. I was really expecting the team to practice as they did apparently on Thanksgiving Day. Would any rules have been broken if the parents of the players been on campus for a late lunch. Just been cool to have as many parents as possible there.
Wow. Holy shit wow. If im scott stricklin and i see this i have his ass in my office THIS morning. Wow. This takes this to a whole nother level for me. No wonder. Good job coachQuote:

Weak? maybe, but don't concede a damn thing in this rivalry, and that is fine with me.Quote:

Are we back to this dan is a dud hire hud? this is the best state has ever done besides last night come on 10 games
2009 I went to the EB expecting a drumming. The Mullen era started that day for me, especially after the LSU let down. Look how far CDM has brought this school. Stop the bitch'en and enjoy the damn ride. Far from over.
I don't want Dan fired. I want him to find some common sense.Quote:

After the game he is grieving. He lost. When he was so very close. To make the loss less painful you say things like "we couldn't make the playoff anyways". The fear of failure.Quote:

Coping mechanisms be damned you cannot say that after flopping in epic fashion. If he had this attitude pre game how can anyone blame the players for being uninspired? Im not saying he did have it either. Just made me wonder. You cannot be afraid to fail, you can hate to lose. I do. with everything in me and i know he does but if you are afraid to fail you will play it safe and we did that vs LSU, and we did it yesterday. Hes been conservative in big games, even against Bama he was. Always has been. It bit us in the ass. He will get better from itQuote:
