Just to add this: I see what y'all are doing. In '17 we made a helluva Juco haul. Abrams and Sweat were studs, Chauncy Rivers was pretty damn good, etc. They were a big part of the '17 and '18 teams. I remember Peterson being involved with that haul. Now that might work to supplement but it ain't your base IMO. Mullen's base was the HS talent he recruited. Some were studs like Simmons and C. Jones, others were coached up to become studs.
LOL at the Leach Haters trying to pin this season on him.
Not because we couldn't score. And even tho those sophs fumbled and bumbled around, it was the bad call on the fumbled punt that cost us the game.Quote:

And no way a "bad call" coulda cost us a game on the road this year. No chance at all.Quote:

Ain't that the damn truth.Quote:

And I said same thing when Zach basically started over. I said "we'll see how that works out for him".
When we have no one drafted this season for the first time in 15 years who should wear that?Quote:

Before the season started we had players. First week or so of season C34 insisted to me that Marks was an NFL player (which I never thought so).Quote:

What bothers me is why make those promises after evaluating in spring and fall camp? If coaches can't tell we ain't up to normal SEC levels in those camps but then are still making those promises ... Then they can't evaluate talent or execution worth a shit. If they could evaluate, they'd be quiet about it.
So if we had leach we would have for sure scored 38 to beat usc?? Some guarantee......Quote:

Y'all??? You're the one that said we would be 6-2. So I guess you aren't part of the argument. Splendid.Quote:

JoMo made excuses. I don't believe Zach has but I ain't hanging onto every word he says either.
Right now, I think we have a very long road in front of us. If this staff can turn it around great. If not, it might be a pretty long road.
ETA: I do believe Zach is regretting some decisions he has made based on advice he was given and/or people he listened to. Don't know for sure but his press conferences tend to make me think that might be the case.
So I'm supposed to drop it while you keep going. And the blame is on me, typical.Quote:

I firmly believe Mullen would win no less than 8 games but I ain't gonna debate that back and forth all day either.
If you'll read my original quote I agreed with you that it all was moot now and getting down into those discussions didn't really matter. So IMO that was the out to just drop it. But many spend time doing just that. It's always about winning the argument.Quote:

Very likely. We scored 40+ on Arkansas who had a similar defense to South Carolina last year.Quote:

Complaining about Leach's recruiting when our current class is in the 40's and worse than any of Leach's is ironic.Quote:
