This past year is the first time since Mullen's first year they finished ahead of us in the West. It's also the first time they have beaten us in StarkVegas in a LONG time. And an objective look at that game would conclude we killed ourselves and all our momentum. Dak had a sub-par game. WE started that game off gang-busters, then turned it over. We followed that up with another couple of t/o's early on that got us too far behind.
By the time we got our shit half-way together, we actually outscored them, etc. But by then it was too-little-too-late. We simply dug too deep a hole this past year. I would not say that is indicative of them being ahead, etc.
In fact, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if we return the favor and beat them in that hell-hole of a stadium they call home this year.
3 of last 4 sounds especially dominant on its own, but really it's just, win-at-home, lose at Starkvegas, win-at-home, win at SV when we shit the bed. Since Mullen came on board we are 4-3 vs them. If we beat them this year, we'll be able to say we won 2 of the last 4. When one game can make that much of a change, it suggests you may be overreacting a bit.
Thumbs up to you. You are a true optimist. Because last year was one of the most miserable egg bowls I personally attended. After the pick 6, It was over and I must have went into a foggy state of awareness because I don't recall us having the upper hand at any point of the game.
The overall strength of the programs.....it is cyclical. Has been since Jackie arrived.
Yea I did ... sorry, forgot that everyone does get excited about beating bad Auburn teams or mediocre to bad Arky teams. Kinda thought the goal was going to Atlanta. We've had decent enough teams to beat Miles more than we have, Sumlin more than we have and IMO, should be 3 - 1 against Bears even with all the cheatin they been doing.
Regularly going 3-3 and 2-4 in SEC West is good enough tho. It certainly is thrilling to watch Mullen's offense hang 62 or so on the likes of MTSU.
