Football Season: Reasons to be negative.

No. I see us dropping the first game of the season as the offense has some growing pains with the new QB and OC.

If that happens, Maggard will have his next major fundraising project, buying out Hud.

Having never done something before is the not a valid point, has no bearing on what can be done. I don't think we will go undefeated in conference but has nothing to do with not doing it before. First time for everything.

The point is that with better teams we have always had the ____ your bed games that have disallowed us from doing it before. That never doing it before is not necessarily the point, the trend of inconsistency in conference play is a valid point though unless you can show me where I'm wrong.

Not arguing for it or against it or saying people aren't justified in their disdain, or that I don't have some myself but some are blinded by it.... but the man and his staff have accomplished several things on and off the field that have never been done before at this university. To say something can't be done simply because it hasn't been done before is silly IMO and isn't a valid reason for why something can't be done. It's the sunbelt, anyone, including us, is quite capable of running the table in conference.

Everybody sees what Hudspeth has done in the past and everyone sees that he took this program to another level. However, the lack of progression over his tenure is what people are upset about especially when coupled with some of the things we've seen in how he handles his players and staff. I have been as big a fan of his as anybody here but I've also seen some real head scratching things and the frustration of watching that offense bang its head against a wall last year time and time again was a real hard pill to swallow.

Why is it so hard to grasp that prior performance is an adequate way to forecast a team? Can the unexpected happen? Sure. Will it happen? Based on prior performance...no.

Lets try it the other way, you show me where I disagreed about inconsistency or ____ing the bed? You show me where I predicted we would go undefeated in conference. all I said was never doing something before has no bearing on being able to do it...that's it.

Runner is trolling

As usual you injected yourself into a conversation assuming someone said something. Only thing I ever said is that just because it hasn't been done before doesn't mean it can't be done, and then everyone starts spouting off like I predicted they would go undefeated... where I said over and over I don't think that we will be very good but for many reason besides the lack of thought that it takes to say "well this won't happen because it just never has before" so go back to drinking and misreading posts. If we manage to somehow go 7-1 in conference this year and return everyone, will nobody predict 8-0 Next year simply because it's never been done? Have a great day

I'm sorry you are insulted that some people don't have the same faith in Hudspeth that you do! Until he accomplishes what he hasn't, win an outright title in the SBC or have the type of season were he goes 8-0, I don't believe he can.Enjoy your day.

He has never gone 0-8 either...you think that's impossible too? He won a share at 6-2...won nothing at 7-1...if he wins an outright going 5-3 you going to be satisfied? We could share a title at 8-0 under current setup. I'm sorry if you simply just aren't as smart as you think you are. I don't know what happened but at some point something happened between you and hud and this program and your bitter saltiness shows in just about every post in regards to the program. Go back and read my original post and see where you are wrong and might be man enough to admit it but I doubt it

In Hud's case, how do you define prior?

Do you go back 2 years or,6 years?
