Is it recruiting stress or have me lost our minds?

Not long ago, this board was ablaze with threads about our team and how great it felt to be undefeated and ranked in the top 10 in college football once again. There were discussions of the path to the BCS title game, how great it felt to see Tim Tebow crying in sections 123, 125, 117, 321, and elsewhere in Sun Life after our team won the final game ever against the Gators. Now, so much negativity that no real discussions are going on except how many want to kill Al and the staff, how top prospects will never pick us, and on, and on.


let me say this: GET A GRIP MAN!!!!!

Wait until after NSD and then rationally discuss who we got and who we lost. This team is getting better. Are we the 2001 Canes yet? No but, it was not long before that year that we lost more games than we did this season and we all wanted to go all Dexter on Butch Davis.............yea remember that many, or perhaps most fans wanted Butch Davis to die with a stone crab claw in his throat. Now he is some posters' wet dream to replace the current staff. But, I digress. As a CANE I will support. I will ***** and moan, but I will wear my gear, I will run smack at every Gator or Nole I meet and I will believe that we back!!!!!!


Sorry rant over. And neg away.................

Excellent rant. Canes fans have been spoiled for a long time. Sadly, we want to win so badly that too many bought into the we are back theory earlier this season when we were winning. Just as quickly as fans bought in, they turned on Golden twice as fast. It seems nobody cares that we were doing much better than we had any right to expect so soon. Nobody cares we lost well over 50% of our offense when Duke and Dorsett went down. Yes, we were embarrassed in the bowl game. It happens. You weren't worried having Crawford as our best running back and only Stacy as a healthy receiver going into that game? You don't change things completely like we needed things changed in two or three years. Butch didn't do it either. It took five years to get back to belonging in the top ten with Butch and he took over a much better club.

Not to mention Golden stated over and over and over how the u wasn't back yet. Then when we lost people threw a fit. He know his team and he knows when they will be able to compete at a high level

Is that you Stephen?

Also, it's been 10 years, 10 ******* years of mediocrity!

Excuse me? We have basically been mediocre for 2 decades outside of a 4 year stretch in between 2000-2003, where we watched an elite program with the GOAT collection of talent ever assembled, get gutted through incompetence on and off the field. Yet we are spoiled fans......
We have been tortured as a fan base. Its like a carrot is dangled in front of us routinely while we starve to death. WE HAVE YET TO PLAY IN AN ACC SHIP GAME! Everytime we see a glimpse of hope it is taken away from us.

I think we're all in agreement about the last decade. I think the point is some of the fan base expects this to be corrected to quickly. You can't fix ten years of stupid in three, especially with the 54it 57orm we just drove out of.
 
Problem with OP is that Im not sure what they were watching. We are NOT getting better like you stated. For the second year in a row we have a record breaking horrific defense and an underperforming offense. Pointing these things out doesn't make people bad posters or fake fans. The seasons over, stock has been taken, and any rational fan would say that although our win column may have improved, the on field product did not and its been proven statistically.

Saban did at Bama, and pretty much at LSU. Carroll definitely did it at USC. Even Jimbo turned it around pretty **** quick. Here is the thing that 3 years is part of the 10 years of stupid.

Did the NCAA visit them for the majority of the rebuild?

Saban and Carroll are two of the best in the business. Jimbo was at FSU for a while.
 
Gulden's slurpers brigade at work again I see..."Gulden aint had enough time" "Gulden had the ncaa over his shoulder" BLAH BLAH BLAH. Next time make sure to swallow u mofos.

I think it's a mix of us seeming so promising in the beginning only to completely collapse in the second half of the year, losing recruits from SFL (yet people seem to ignore how we've gotten some of the best players from SFL), and seeing FSU win the the championship.... we're just used to that being us.
 
the only people that are truly mad are the people that didn't realize how much damage coker and randy had done to our program... this was a n 8-10 win team this year... we won 9 games, why everyone is surprised is beyond me.
