    Whenever I try to do the "who beat who, then who beat who next, then who beat who later", I am almost always able to "prove" things like, say, Appy State can beat Michigan.



    wait....:shock:

    I've thought all of things that Dubois wrote over the past few years.

    And has it ever ocurred to anyone that teams we pound into the dirt sometimes look bad the next week because we beat up on them?

    This is THE response to any Miles' criticism: "Miles is 24 and 4 in last 28 games, let him coach, you cheer." - LSUTIGA 9/10/07. It can't be said any better than that.

    I read that in the paper this morning. It was a 3 column editorial. :shock:

    Good read though.

    Well, maybe one day we'll get to the point where, instead of making excuses for the teams we beat, the national media will start making excuses for us on the rare occasions we lose. You know, like they do for a certain few programs who's names will not be mentioned here.
