Of course that is very true.

Surprised you didn't grasp what Tank meant by his comment though. Normally you catch stuff like that

He didn't say "if" he didn't need to.

He said there "not much difference."

It is an unassailable fact, there's not much diference between winning and losing a one score game.

Lol just look across the street at Basketball. if you think they will fire Dez for going 6-6 I'm sorry it won't happen. This is the UL future for the next decade. A Perennial .500 and maybe a 7 win season sprinkled in.

All you can do is just fiddle as UL burns itself to the ground.

There is if your goal is wins and losses. And that is an unassailable fact. How many close games did we win under Napier on our run? Good teams find a way to win those games. Bad ones don't. And we don't. Everything else is excuses, and excuses don't make you better. The unassailable, cold truth is your record. You can go on and on about how there's little difference between 2-8 and 8-2.....the difference is 6 more wins. Everything else is "if only" excuses.

I think he's right on target. As was zeppelincajun; attention to detail and more discipline will go a long way!

Of course this is just my opeinion, just liike you have yours.

Focus on overcoming the small difference between winning and losing a one score game.

When one thinks that overcoming the difference is unattainable, it probably is.

A few "Tush Push" plays like the Eagles had last night and Louisiana would have a couple more wins right there alone.

No one is debating whether it's attainable. And yeah, that's the point. The difference between doing and not doing the little things is 8-2 and 2-8. Good teams (8-2) do them. Bad ones (2-8) don't. You can slather on as much lipstick on that pig as you want. Napier teams did the little things....won the close games. We don't, we lose them. Big difference. A vast gulf of difference.

I actually agree with this; especially in our league.

The difference is, good teams find ways to win those games within reach. The details narrow the margins.

Agreed. I will never figure out why we can't take the snap under center in situations like that. Like a lot of things we do, it doesn't make any sense.

I keep hearing we will keep Dez next year that's fine if we're okay with being just like Monroe or Tech. Wow, the mighty have fallen. Can't tell anyone one how to spend their money but I won't renew my tailgate or season tickets to watch someone learn on the job at this level. From top 25 to needing to beat Monroe to be bowl eligible, let that sink in.

Not going at you just saying how the administration are ok with mediocrity. We always wanted to use Boise state as a model well look at their coache's record they just let go.
