I had to hop off Twitter. You’d think we just had a game like the Iowa game last year. shyt is insufferable. I think with the late bye week we’re tired and banged up. Beat Purdoodoo by 21 next week then rest up for November.

Man it's really hard to follow some people on twitter and follow some message boards during the season. You'd think we've been skating by all season the way some people have been bytching. We're winning by an average of 29 ppg, the highest of the Urb era and I think the highest going back to the Woody years. Some areas need to get better, but damn beating Indiana by 23 got people ready to jump off the ledge. Just scored 49 points and over 600 yards against a decent defense and people are "worried" about our offense. Just imagine how it would have been back in 2002.

All about context, brother. They are "blowing teams out" with late scores in the 4th after letting teams hangs around all game that shouldnt even be able to play with us. Teams that barely move the ball on squads like Maryland or Rutgers should never have the lead on us or be within a touchdown late in the 3rd.

Its like the Avengers shyt; Gotta be worried about the endgame "up above" or in our case, Bama or anybody else who make the playoffs cuz those twams will capitalize on us not dominating the line or not being technically sound for 2-3 quarters and the talent gap will be a lot closer than what we've been playing.

By no means am Im trying to shyt on a undefeated squad who is seemingly headed for the playoffs and putting up godly stats but you can just "feel" we might finally get caught slipping along the line somewhere potentially.

Its like saying a QB in the NFL is super nice and shouldnt be talked about cuz they got 400+ yards but they 250-300 came in the 4th Q cuz the squad was trailing the whole game and they had no choice but to throw. Yeah, they got the numbers, etc, but what about the endgame?

That’s what I’m talking about tho. Compare us going on the road against a top 10 team like Pedo and winning close, versus Georgia just getting mud stomped by LSU. I just think people can’t even try to enjoy an undefeated team because something isn’t perfect. Us struggling against Pedo and losing to Va Tech in 2014 didn’t mean we weren’t gonna compete against Alabama and Oregon. Things need to be worked out, but I see the pieces to get it done.

Maybe I need to take a step back and try to smell the flowers I suppose. It's hard to win every week in football, period. I just know a nikka getting too old to be having these faux heart attacks when these lil poo putt teams be dominating us on the line and embarrassing our DB's like it's sweet :mjcry:

Plus, like I said, Im just worried if we slip up and take a L like damn near everybody else at this point, they gonna hold these games with inferior opponents against us, keep us out the playoffs or something.

Yeah when I was younger these shyt like this used to kill me. I was in high school ready to fight a nikka after we lost to MSU in 98. If we lose I’ll be ok, but I’m gonna enjoy being undefeated. I want us to work on the run game and defensive execution, but damn I go on social media or Eleven Warriors (haven’t gone on there yet today), and you’d think we’re 0-7.

I said I wouldn’t go on 11 W forums this week and I accidentally pulled up a tab I still had open and did see some thread titles.

Yeah, we might as well be 0-7 the way every thread looked.
