Back from the Ledge

It could be worse. Tanneyhill could be our QB

David Ching suggests that it's time to climb back from the ledge and take a deep breath. I happen to agree. Things are never as good or bad as they seem.

Ask yourself this...after the 2007 UT game, did you think we'd go 11-2? After the 2006 UK game, did you think we'd finish the season with 9 wins including wins over three ranked teams including the #5 team in the nation?

Do I think this group is going 11-2? No. Am I annoyed by the sheer fubar nature of Saturday. Obviously. But I don't think this is freak out time yet. We just lost on the road to a team that is now ranked #5 in the nation. I still think we can go 9-3 regular season plus a win over an 8 or 9 win ACC team in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl.

If we lose this week...then it's freak out time. For me at least. Because this is looks like the least talented Gamecock squad since 1999's 0-11 unit. But right now, we're a team that played poorly offensively on the road vs. a quality opponent (and like it or not Oklahoma State was a quality team). The freaking out is a week early.

Everyone will feel better after the upcoming three game winning streak. If not...I'll be near the front of the panic line.
