"Far Worse to Have Had Money (Wins) and Lost It Than to Never . . . . "

[swampaw]

Have had it at all. Isn't that how the saying goes? The chicken's misery is going to be so much more enjoyable this year coming on the heels of their short span of success with their 11 win seasons and once in a lifetime streak of 5 over us. They limped through last year, convincing themselves that every "great" program has to rebuild. Now they're staring reality in the face, the lack of the Ole Sack's recruiting (despite what Langston Moore believes), the revival of UT and shortly, UF, and now, their worst nightmare seems to be coming true - Dabo is for real and is building a lasting bedrock of a program. For those of us old enough to remember how pathetic they were in the days post- Morrison, this feels even better. They had tasted a little success under Joe, but not the consistency they had with that recent streak. And even in Morrison's hayday, the best they could muster was to trade wins with us. This recent streak was like handing them a winning lottery ticket - except, now, the lottery commission has called to tell them the numbers didn't really match after all, and they've got to give the money back. Only, the catch is, they're stuck with the rich, drunk uncle whose press conference jokes and jabs don't seem so funny anymore. This is gonna be fun.
