There was another that was started by Nacho, later in the season after we had lost 2 conference games I believe, that in my honest opinion having seen Nacho post for several years, was done in sarcastic mode but taken seriously by some. Only Nacho could say whether my thought is correct or not but I am pretty certain that Nacho is not a space alien but rather more of a tongue in cheek poster.
I think it was sarcastic but we were in fact mathematically alive.

WARNING: There have not been enough young players stepping up to replace graduating Seniors for 3 years. I'm hoping there is some untapped freshman talent at Receiver that isn't getting s shot because of Senior starters but even they are pretty quiet. Where are the young defensive players stepping up? The ones that are playing are not showing up. Yenga, some of the defensive line have been adequate. The secondary is a mess if you substract 2 graduating Seniors. We had a long list of young players we expected to step up on Defense and they generally have been disappointing

The secondary is going to be atrocious next year. We better hope Minor, Sanders, Yenga, Seals, etc. can pressure the QB consistently

Our running game next year doesn't look like it's going to be too good next year either.......especially with our offensive line.

I love Nlemchi, and hopefully Shead will be back and healthy. That could be a solid 1-2 punch. Not sure what can be said for the OL, though. They've got to get better at run blocking

Even if we had run the table after OOC I wouldn't have cared. It would just show how much of a garbage conference were in that we can get butt raped by anyone that matters and go unbeaten in our conference.

It would be better for the league for UCF or UL to go because at least they'd have a shot at winning some respect for the AAC going forward.

But, what ifs don't really matter, so here's hoping we beat Houston so we can go to the Cialis Tub Bowl
