Message: [QUOTE="suloyalfan, post: 1156680, member: 397"] I couldn't agree more. I have hardly read this forum since the season started because of the negativity. But this week has taken the cake so far. I ask this... what has happened this season that wasn't predicted by most to start the year? Most predicted wins against Villanova and CMU, losses to Notre Dame and Louisville, and a 50/50 chance against Maryland. Most also predicted that if Hunt were to go down with an injury, that we would be in big trouble. This has now happened (unfortunately), but we don't yet have the results to prove how much trouble we are in. This crescendo of negativity will only grow over the next few weeks after the (likely) losses to Florida State and Clemson (at least). But again, these are games that the vast majority among us predicted as losses. So, I say again, what has changed? I am frustrated by the losses as well, even though I expected them. I'm frustrated at our performance against Villanova. I'm annoyed by our performance against Maryland. I am disappointed that Eduaord and KJ Williams didn't show up this Fall (at least not yet). I am frustrated that our top 2 recruits that committed this Summer have now decommitted. But I also realize that this team is no different that most of the others out there, and they just have to keep working to get better. Sometimes seasons get derailed by key injuries (lets see how BYU does without Taysom Hill - their backup came in and was 34% on 29 attempts with 0 TD and 3 interceptions on Friday night), sometimes the breaks don't go your way (see quick whistle on Golson fumble), but the next game is still played the next week-end. I know that I'll be there on Saturday, watching the game and hoping for a respectable performance against #1 FSU. In all honesty, I expect SU to lose the game but anything is possible. Every game is an opportunity for something special to happen, and that's why I love football and will be watching the games (sometimes in frustration) win or lose. [/QUOTE]
