3+ year honeymoon.....

So you're saying by losing to an instate rival... it guarantees that we won't lose to some new addition to the SBC?

I didn't realize it worked like that.

I didn't use all caps and a bunch of exclamation points... to prove that I am indeed writing calmly.

Of course not I never guaranteed anything. Just trying to keep hope alive. In years past the letdown has come near the end of the season. What I'm saying is if Tech is as good as I hope they are and the Cajuns are as good as I hope they are, this loss won't seem so terrible. The part about being calm was more about the overall meltdown on here since Saturday.

Honeymoon periods are often defined by how long you are willing to bite your lip while observing an imperfect person you care about act human.

Only you can end your honeymoon period, it is different for everyone.

For me the honeymoon period ended near the end of a certain BCS P5 Florida based game.

Honeymoons end, legal love affairs continue on long after ...

Whoa, nobody is calling for HUDs head, but at a million a year that shirt we saw Saturday night will not fly. I have never seen a team as unprepared for such a huge game as we saw Saturday night. There is no excuse. I fully expect us to be competitive Saturday.

When looking at this in a 3 year stint, the only reason it appears he is accomplishing more in the 3 years than the rest of the football history is the existence of the SBC and the NOLA Bowl.

When looking at victories per 11 games and quality wins per year, Nelson did what Hud did twice before, with Brian and Jake, with much, much tougher schedules. Also, for the 3 years Nelson had a conference, we had 2 co-championships compared to the 1 for Hud.

And Nelson did all of that without the RCAF.

Ahhh yesss...the good old days when you could drive up to the game, park in the parking lot 30 minutes before the game. Walk right in without your wife getting her purse checked. Watch a great college game, visit with friends then leave in a relatively short time without the traffic jam.

it just seems like you are "the guy" from last year who told alot of people they could not complain about how bad our defense was because we still won a game against a NM State or GSU barely. After what we watched saturday, we arent even hopeful against half the sun belt slate we have lined up this year. its not because we are jumping off the bandwagon, its because we saw it with our own eyes saturday at cajun field. im hoping they prove me wrong more than anyone else, but i also saw something that i can objectively criticize, i dont need people to tell me to calm down because it is one game.
