What in the world is going on with them? Where is Jason G at?

You know, that is a real fan! That is rough treading my friends!

Strawman too...but he picked him up a second team! So he is a real fan too, but also a smart one! :D

(Wait a minute, I think I might know the cause of all of the Longhorns problems! :P )

Akron is probably slightly better than New Mexico. Slightly :lol:

Actually, I think you can make a case between Akron, San Jose State, or New Mexico as being the worst team in the FBS. San Jose State has a victory, but it came by a few points against Southern Utah and San Jose State scored fewer than 20 points in that affair.

But yeah, getting ripped to shreds by Western Michigan is pretty bad this year. Western just stinks on ice this season.

Rough, just rough....rock bottom. Might not be excruciating pain then, no where to go but up.

Jason sticks with his Zips. Good for him. It is easy rooting for teams who consistently win. It is a lost harder to root for a team that has lots of peaks and valleys.

What would you know about that Mr. Buckeye fan. :D Being an Arkansas and Iowa fan has been also very difficult. Iowa went through a stretch of 20 years without a better than .500 season.

That was my point. He is a better man. :wink:

Totally agree. I admire those Cub fans and was amazed at how many new Red Sox fans there were a few years ago.

I pretty much have always been for the underdog. It sure makes winning really fun, and you sort of get used to disappointments.

Cubs fans are a breed of their own. I have a brother-in-law who is a Cub fan and his loyalty through thick and thin is something.


I have been a Buckeye since birth. I had strong enforcement early on. My wife's family is the same way. I think I would be a Buckeye through really bad times as well, but I don't know because it has never really been tested. I do hope if we every really have a bad stretch, that I don't act like the Domers. :oops: I don't think I would because I never go into every season thinking Ohio State will be the national champion. I do expect them to compete for the B-10 championship and they do most years.

A good way to start a downslide is to hire Rich Rodriguez :wink:

System Coach - a coach who employs a specific defense or offense (especially offense) regardless of the talent and abilities he has on the team.

Great Coach - a coach who designs a system peculiar to the specific talents he has afforded to him.

(A coach is nothing but a manager. These apply to managers too...though the first one will often be simply denoted as a bad manager.)
