Help me out here. I keep hearing that our schedule is a real slammer, a toughy, a grave digger. As such, I just got around to reviewing our schedule for 2015. ???? Iowa State and Tennessee? Are those the tough games? I don't see one top 25 opponent and Iowa and Tennessee are about top 50 quality. It seems to me, and I'm on a little tear lately about "hoping for mediocrity and accepting really poor outcomes", that our standards are REALLY poor. Our expectations are REALLY poor. What I'm saying is that if this year's schedule is "a toughy" we need to can our AD and coach because it really doesn't matter if this and next year are a building year. It really doesn't. This is NOT a tough schedule. If it IS a tough schedule for us, then ANY schedule would be tough for us and that is just sad man, it's just sad. I heard a sports leader from the U talking the other day about how we kept GA down for a while a few years ago and that we could give Tennessee a run for their money. Huh? A run for their money? We might hang for a while? WTF??? Our coach and AD ought to be yelling from a megaphone somewhere, daily, on campus, that we are going to WIN Conference USA with this weak ass schedule and we are going to give IOWA and Tennessee a good, old fashion kick in the pants! How are we going to bring excitement to the games this year? Complain about the tough schedule before hand (i.e., make excuses) and call the SMU game a home game....well that will surely put butts in the seats. Damn. I'm just disappointed that it has come to this. ...at least the stadium is nice and the kids mostly try hard. ....how about we steal a mascot or something??? What a drag.
