Message: [QUOTE="Crusty, post: 341918, member: 2265"] [COLOR=#000000]"Suppose we lost to them, which we certainly could do. That would likely be the equivalent for Doug Marrone of the 2008 Akron game, where Greg Robinson, in a year when he had to get it turned around or be fired, lost by two touchdowns to one of the worst programs in FBS. It was the final nail in G-Rob’s coffin. If this proves to be our 8th straight loss, the demands that Marrone be fired will reach a crescendo. Recruiting will stop because the players won’t know if Marrone will be the coach when they get here. We will be back in the vicious cycle we are desperately trying to get out of. For that reason, I think the school with the funny name is actually the most important game of the season, the one we can least afford to lose."[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]This is exactly what I worry about most. Doubt it will happen but the consequences could be so disastrous that I am very concerned.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
