Hanging your hat on 10 wins

[LoungeLord]

So many of you are trying to disguise the stench of that **** sandwich we made for ourselves by saying “hey, if I told you we’d win 10 games in the spring….blah, blah, blah”.

I don’t care that we got 10 wins vs 8 or 7 or 9 or whatever. What’s the difference now? A less ****** bowl to watch us underperform in without Cam? Anyone gonna remember it a few seasons from now? You still gonna wear your ‘24 10 wins! Canes Tshirt?

The box score brigade won’t understand this, but how you got the wins matters.

We still lose to teams we shouldn’t. We out-coach nobody. We out scheme nobody. We say we are every teams season so they give their all against us, yet we do that to nobody. This means we still operate below expectations. We never play above our pay grade. We still play stupid, bad penalties, bad errors at awful times, just dumb football. We don’t come in as the underdog and win. We barely scrape by as the favorite, or lose as the favorite. That’s an ugly 10 wins, it’s meaningless and doesn’t feel good.

Well coached teams should get better as the season goes on. We **** our pants. Says a lot.

We had everything in our reach and threw it all away.

If anyone had told me we'd win 10 games and boat race UF and FSU and I'd feel like **** at the end of the season I'd have said, "no chance." I feel like ****

It’s called underachieving.

We boat races the worst fsu and uf teams of our lifetimes. Whoopie! You want a cookie for that?

This is the 2017 season all over again. This was not progress. With this schedule it is a mirage. Guys, we have seen this movie before....next season we will be back to 6-6 and 7-5

 

[Shooter McGavin]

People expected 9-10 wins but when you saw our schedule and the offense you all expected 12 wins including myself. No excuses losing to Ga Tech and Cuse.

2017 season had a tougher schedule. But yea it’s very similar. Exposed at the end of the season.

2017 was more enjoyable. Tell me I'm wrong.

It’s the way we lost those two games and the fact the offense saved our bacon in 2-3 other games. Never thought the D would be so laughably bad.

At least that season had 3 big wins

I agree. The Va Tech ND games were something else. The FSU and Ga Tech comebacks. That defense was something else. The only two games I enjoyed this year were Florida and FSU.

I agree but that uf game was the highest of highs.. if that makes sense.. the VT and nd games back 2 back were up there but seeing cam legit cook the swamp to point it was a takeover.. the TD pass to George in back of end zone.. being there live for that.. probably winning a ship can top that

Nah we beat UFs *** at their place and had a program historic offense and our best QB in my lifetime. I’ll take this for sure

Yeah the chain season and whooping Notre Dame was more fun

or unrealistic expectations

Dude, this can't be the first or even 10th time over the last 20+ years where we could have win every game but didn't. This time, we managed the big 10 that people seem to put on a pedestal. Cheer up.

If you want to be a fan of a team that will win a championship one day then go somewhere else! Here, we stack the roster, and use that to get to a mediocre record. Maybe a big win every few years.

yeah, in 2017 Miami actually tackled people and had a baseball player playing QB

or unrealistic expectations
