…back to the time when we contemplated the possibility of going into the UF game with a 3-0 record and just needing a win to bolster our bowl chances?

Seems like only 2 weeks ago….
Yep there are posts still warm from a couple weeks ago saying how our place would be packed if we were going in to this game 3-0 and how we could possibly get Billy fired. Billy is going to get fired but that talk started before we were in the picture and if we get beat it may solidify his position another couple weeks although I believe I remember Zook beat us that year and still got fired.

I'll raise you one by asking how many remember when many thought that 5-7 or at the absolute worst 4-8 was Lebby's floor for this season?

Well, to throw a little salt in the wound, out of our last 9 games, FPI says...

<5% chance in 5 of them
<20% chance in 1
<35% chance in 1
<50 chance in 1
Favored in 1 (UMass)

I thought Zook was the first one to "get Croomed." Am I thinking of another coach?
From Wiki, "Zook was fired before the end of the 2004 season after a 38–31 road loss to the Mississippi State Bulldogs (who were 1–5 prior to the game, including a home loss to Division I-AA Maine"

I don't remember the individual "Croomed" Hall of Famers but definitely believe there were more than 1

That’ll be the ultimate insult. UF will beat us by 50 on Saturday and they’ll fire Napier on Sunday.

Worst part about it, the actual typical MSU performance would have been to beat EKU and Az State, then lose to Toledo to take the shine off the Flarrda game.

We've surpassed Emm Stake stuff. I mean we are going deep.

When I answered 7 in the poll, I am going to claim that I thought the question was how many touchdowns we are going to score this year not how many wins we would have.

Two weeks ago would have been after the opening game. If you watched that and still thought we had a shot at being 3-0 this week you don't know much about football. That was as bad as I had ever seen us look, and that is saying something.

Wasn’t me. Those weren’t the 3 wins I saw.

Didn't Coach O get fired after the 2007 egg bowl comeback? I'm sure he did.

Technically a Crooming.
