Your Saturday WAYBAC Gameday Post

Posted on by

Folks, I’m not so good at this, apparently, as many of you nailed last Saturday’s gameday post, which was the 2017 matchup at Notre Dame.

So allow me to try again, and let me go a little further back in the Gameday WAYBAC machine to see if I can stump some of y’all. Here we go…

Where are we going today, Mr. Peabody? Hell, Sherman. Hell.

Well I hope all of y’all have sobered up and your hangovers are cured. We’re a day removed from the ball dropping and we’ve got some serious business to take care of this time. We’ve been disappointed in the post-season for two years in a row, and the guys on the other side have won 17 straight and are vying for a National Championship. We’d almost be inclined to lose, to avenge our lone loss this year to our heated rivals, who are in the discussion for winning a National Championship.

We’ve tied one, lost one, and these guys don’t know what losing feels like in a long, long time. And these guys beat the one team we lost to. They’ve got an all-pro roster, and to make matters worse, we’re playing them in their home state. I don’t know how it can get worse, to be honest. Their defense is fierce, lead by a safety who will likely go in the first round of the NFL draft, along with a host of other guys that will be playing on Sundays soon.

We’ve been snakebit in the postseason lately and I’m not optimistic. We’ve got the talent, and we’ve always been in the national conversation for several years, but we are three years removed from our best defensive coordinator and I worry that we don’t have the toughness to hang with this team in their home state. And they are playing for a national championship…we are playing for pride.

Take your guesses, scamps.

  10. “Hoage, with those miserable knees, will try to go.”

    Larry Munson’s take when we saw him the night before the game.
