Frustration

I haven't added anything to this blog in a week. Is it because I'm lazy that I don't bring myself here every day, no that's not it. It's because I'm depressed about the downward spiral that is the current state of State athletics.

Example 1. The basketball team is in the tank following their seventh straight loss. They're young, they'll get better, but right now they are tough to watch and even harder to write about. Gordon and Rhodes looked good last night. Everybody else...not so much.

Example 2. What in the hell happened during the past month of football recruiting? I'm not completely down on this class. There is some definite speed on the corners, which we needed, desperately. The running back class is solid, but thin without Ashley. Our SEC running back depth chart looks like this...Sophomore, Freshman, Freshman, ????. Not good. And why on earth didn't we recruit a quarterback? It takes QBs a good while to learn this offense; we needed one this year that could contribute in his 4th year, after his RS Freshman, Freshman and Sophomore years. But Croom is waiting until next year to recruit a big time QB, who will likely leave him at the altar, just like Perrilloux, Holland and Ashley.

On the bright side, there is some hope for the second half of the SEC season. The team has already played the heavy hitters from the East and Bama and Mississippi on the road. They could win at least half of their remaining games, if they remember how to win.

And the football team, well it's a long time until that first game. So, therefore it's a long time until the team suffers another loss.
