Well, yes, you can. Because in our conference, you don't get a sniff at greatness anymore unless you go undefeated. Otherwise you slip into obscurity. Lose 3 games and you are Anyother University. That is the system we were forced into and what was forced upon us. It is awful, but that's what the power 5 changes did.
I don't really mind losing to good teams but we haven't even been close under Tuberville.
Against Illinois, North Carolina, Ohio State, Memphis (10 win G5), Miami (FL) and Virginia Tech....here are the combined scores:
263-127, outscored by an average of 23 points per game.
Thanks again Tuberville!
Listen to Bearcat NTS or a guy who has won 149 games and went undefeated in the SEC when he was at Auburn? Hmmm, tough call.
Jesus Christ, grow the fuck up already

The sky falls a lot in our fan base
We needed to set the tone early but made a few mistakes. This team beat itself by player and coaching mistakes so let's see how they respond. There needs to be a heavy dose of discipline...and our coach needs to recognize his mistakes as well. We had more talent but they had more discipline and passion on their sideline.
I don't know why we are throwing fade routes to Shaq in the end zone when you have McKay. That's just not well thought out.
The sky is still up there...relax
I am a die hard fan, alumni, and financial contributor to the athletic department. I have been a UC supporter long before Tubbs and will be long after. I know the program is not doomed because we lost Temple.
That said, you can't deny the red flags with Tubberville. His team's aren't prepared, play sloppy, and his attitude is aloof. His comments make it seem like we don't really have high expectations like a P5 program. If he thinks he has a cushy job where he can go 7-5 and 8-4 every year and ride off into retirement then he needs to be let go sooner than later.
I expected to win a conference title this year. I don't think that is unrealistic with our talent and conference competition. Tubberville had better figure out how to win with this team really quick or he deserves every bit of heat that comes his way. IMO he has put himself in that position because of his attitude.
I get it...I just think we ought to wait until mid season or after the season to evaluate performance. Yes I understand we have history to evaluate too. I don't disagree with some of the opinions about TT but being overly pessimistic this early in the season seems a bit alarmist when they could gel...who knows
Where is the silent majority? Where are the Coach T supporters? Maybe they don't belong or read this website, usually reserved for people who have a complaint. I support the coach. I support Coach Tuberville. Hey, I understand the frustration, but come on!!
I support winning. I'm still on the Coach Tuberville side but he needs to have a breakthrough this season or next. Last week's game was ugly and a big step backwards for what I thought this program could accomplish this season.
I do find it amusing how many people have higher expectations for our football program than our basketball program. Folks who slam Tuberville but are thrilled with Mick make me laugh. What's the difference between the football team going 8-4 and losing a bowl game or the hoops team making the tourney as a 8 or 9 seed and losing before the sweet 16?
Tuberville is doing a rather mediocre job, just like Mick has. I DO NOT support mediocrity. Win championships or GTFO. Tommy's time is running out.
