The program needs to advance every year
What some of you don't realize is that even though the record was the same last year as it was in 2011, the program advanced quite a bit and is on an upward swing. Of course some of you will mock this, and none of you will give me credit when this comes to fruition, but it's part of the biz.

Yep, that beat down over Portland St. is one I'll tell my grandkids about some day.

Seriously, one of the saddest parts of the season, in retrospect, was the fact that we were taunting the Portland State players at halftime. It takes a real bunch of undisciplined losers to taunt a team that knows they are traveling somewhere to get an ass beating. I can't wait to see the "swagger" we have while we destroy Idaho State this year.

I don't mind the taunting, but it is telling that our players do all of it against terrible teams. Where were the tough guy attitudes in Baton Rouge, Eugune, and Tucsan? In fact, I remember LSU players taunting our players, who didn't do anything about it.bananasnblondes said:Seriously, one of the saddest parts of the season, in retrospect, was the fact that we were taunting the Portland State players at halftime.

This is a soft program. Sark is soft and it filters through the whole program. A bunch of front runners who pat themselves on the back for Holiday Bowls and blowing out Portland State.

Sark had to show he was a TUFF coach by bitching out the entire team in front of everyone at halftime too.bananasnblondes said:Seriously, one of the saddest parts of the season, in retrospect, was the fact that we were taunting the Portland State players at halftime.

Like others have stated where was this attitude the previous week when LSU guys were making us look like fucking middle schoolers and taunting us as well. That LSU game was as bad or worse than any beat down during the 0-12 season.
The 0-12 team had quit on their coach. What was these guys excuse for the LSU debacle? -
Too many people are point to the defensive improvement as their reason for hope. Problem is the best defensive games came against teams playing with struggling QBs.
I think Wilcox has potential, but even his D has not proven it can even SLOW down the spread attacks.
And that is a scary thoughts with the offensive minded coaches in this league. -
Yes like fans were quick to praise Holt and his defense for playing "great" down the stretch in 2010. For those who remember we faced a ton of backup QB's during that "magical" 4 game win streak.IrishDawg22 said:Too many people are point to the defensive improvement as their reason for hope.

Just like this past year we faced some downright shitty ass QB's. Whenever we faced a decent(not great) QB he typically had his way with our defense. Every team ran the ball on us even Portland State.
We still gave up some ugly numbers to Oregon, LSU and Arizona. Why I'm going to "let it play out" before I praise Wilcox as the savior. -
I remember plenty of idiots who were worried because they thought Wilcox was the new hot commodity and would become a HC at a PAC 12 school. This is after 2 or 3 solid defensive performances and I think one of them was the Portland State game.He_Needs_More_Time said:

After the Stanford game I especially remember that. I bet Wilcox will be head coach at Cal.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:

Then this offseason comes around and he didn't even interview for one head coaching job. -
I feel a special season coming on...

WHAT??!!! I was hearing he should be the head coach. Plus he did miracles at BSU and Tennessee.He_Needs_More_Time said:

I've had the debate many times. Please stop with the Wilcox is the "greatest coach in America" shit. Maybe he is, maybe not. Yes, the D improved. And yes they took it up the ass in several games as well. I'm not going to go all Passion and say he needs to win a Championship before I say he is great coach, but maybe a couple of seasons of improvement and consistency would be nice to see first.
