3 of those 4 losses on the road? UCLA was a much better team until they lost Rosen. Mississippi St finished 6-7 not 5-7 and was still a decent SEC team that lost a lot of close games and beat TAMU.
You love being a debbie downer, but don't sell this past season short. We had issues of our own that had to be overcome too. We had an excellent season, and I will remember it for a long time. Wallow in your misery and self pity if you want but don't try to drag the rest of us into your cesspool.
