Riddle Me This, Dumpers

Since, you're already moaning and groaning over our one loss and our "ugly" wins, will you promise us all that you'll completely jump ship and leave this website forever should we lose another game? I think that might just make all your negativity worth the agony for the rest of us...

Doubtful since "They just expect more from the team"

"They're the true fans who aren't satisfied with losing"
"They see the writing on the wall"
"They have higher expectations"
Apparently true fans handle disappointment in their own mind as well as a sieve handles p!ss.

You'd have to ask them. I think they guarantee 2 more losses***

"cashed it in"......i do see trends/issues that this team MUST overcome if they want a CHANCE at beating USC........and even GT.
I would say those who watched the BC game and even NCState game saw the "writing on the wall" of what the outcome would be if we played like that against FSU................well we did and you saw what happened.....
we have played "ugly" for 3 straight weeks one of those teams had a pulse and beat us 51-14...........2 of those were pathetic/injury depleted.
i can guarantee you one thing if we play like we've played/trended over the last 3 weeks we WILL lose to USC and could lose to a GT team who, isn't good, but has a gimmick offense that plays keep away enough to give us a scare.
personally i think based on the inferior nature of our next 3 opponents we'll win all 3, but if we continue to play like we've been playing game in columbia will be 5 straight for them.
i'm holding out hope they'll get things together, but one more loss this year and it's a failure by the coaches and players

gotta agree with PHEEBO somewhat on this take...not always

if we don't play like the team we're capable of & have shown in some games & seen lots of glimpses of...it could spell disaster in cootville for us!
It's not the end of the world, but will sour out a pretty good year if that's the 2nd game we get caught losing in.
I'll stay positive & vote that our guys pull it together! Tajh gets back to form & our receivers that have had to step up finally get their rhythm & take some pressure off of Sammy & Tajh, with the help of some good running game & better blocking by the O-line

dumpers? I try to be neither, but if anyone shouldn't it be the pumpers that leave if we lose? I think we should all should celebrate only what we have actually achieved and complain about only what we have actually not achieved. In other words stop telling how good we are going to be (this includes Dabo sometimes), but also don't complain about losses that have not yet happened.

is still in better shape than it has been in years...
That's the point. 5 in a row would really suck. But it doesn't put the program in failing status.

Alright, let me rephrase. Regardless of what happens in that

game, our program is still in great shape by any reasonable standard. You shouldn't gauge the entire success of your program based on your record against one single opponent (even if it is the coots). I hate losing to them as much as anyone, but it's just stupid to say that we're in bad shape because of the streak.
