It was interesting listening to my daughter tell my granddaughter on Christmas Day, “Remember when we get new toys, we need to go through our toys and purge some of them to make room! We can send them to someone that needs some toys.” Scrolling through social media we see other SBC teams getting new coaches and I am a little jealous! We have had the same ones for two years (CL hire anniversary is Jan 10th) and I am pretty sure the coaching staff were either sale items or damaged when we got them. I read this post ( footballscoop.com/news/sources-butch-jones-making-key-move-for-oc/ ) about what they are putting together and think about the changes occurring throughout our conference as others strive to get better. I wish someone wanted “our toys” 😩 The recent silence by members of the administration and athletic department is becoming deafening. I wish we could get something new and shiny to start 2021 😔

Perhaps our administration is trying to live up to paraphrasing the following adage: A bird in the hand is worth two in the bushâ. You know by saying a known disaster in the hand is worth more than the two we might make.â Or they like Congress are dysfunctional when it comes to facing problems. Either way I think we have (The HC we don’t speak of) (for better for worse). We have some talent coming back. We will need that since it is obvious this conference is improving all the time.
Our shiney old toys are more like the stuff they throw out at Goodwill.

Our best hope is that we have a 9 or 10 win season next year...our “toy” looks all nice and polished with a fresh coat of paint (even though it’s really a bucket of rust) and our toy finds a new home and the polished rust bucket is someone else’s problem. We get a new shiny toy that’s the real deal.

Me too! The ULM game that was originally scheduled at the beginning of the season was going to be the one game I could make it to due to my daughters cheerleading schedule. That game got moved and I was going to be able to make it to the last home game, then ULM cancelled again. So it’s been a long time for me too!
