Just like after Game 1, the doom and gloom is an emotional overreaction. This team isn't that bad.
As I've stated in another thread, I think Chauncey's guarantee was indicative of why we lost that game.
This team is in more dire need of leaders than it is of talent. It's cliche, but Kentucky wanted that game more.
Our players were too busy basking in the previous 31 games. And exhibiting brash bravado and braggadocio usually associated with teams that have actually accomplished something.
I truly believe this team was humbled and embarrassed by what transpired last Saturday.
That still doesn't change the fact that the Oline is horrible. Or that the QB is average to below average. Or any of our other ailments. But I think they'll play harder this week. They drank the Kool-aid in a major way last week.

This team needs a player to stand up and dare his teammates to get better.
I make no secret of my opinion of Dooley that he is a has-been UAA mouthpiece (I'm ok with Robbie), but man oh man, you know its bad when these two guys are saying everything about this program sucks 2 games into the season. Very interesting.
You've heard them suggesting after week two that we are likely to go 0-8 in SEC play and may not win another game if we lose this weekend, which they also said is now very plausible? Sure I've heard them "down" after the UAA lets them know they're about to can the coach. I remember them being the last off the boat with Zook, then Chump, and then Mac. I can't ever recall this level of candor/doom after 2 games when the UAA hadn't told them the ax was imminent.I've heard them down before. Let's see after this week.
Traditionally, we've played cupcakes, Kentucky(31 game win streak), Vandy and UT early in the season.You've heard them suggesting after week two that we are likely to go 0-8 in SEC play and may not win another game if we lose this weekend, which they also said is now very plausible?

To be clear, I know the ax is not coming, it's just, sobering, to see these two saying this so early.
I'm not sure what you're getting at. Are you just trying to be mad at something?I can't believe Mullen said that the coaches were fooled about how bad the team was, because they only saw then practicing against each other and didn't realize it until they saw them playing against somebody else. Is this a professional coaching staff for an SEC team, or are they volunteer Dads coaching Pop Warner? WTF!?! They don't know good vs. bad football when they see it? That is a disheartening thing to hear.
