This is NOT a big game

[Ghostbuster]

We're all kinda of focusing on semantics a bit too much but what the hey I'll throw my two cents in.

Is it a traditional "big" game for the program?  Nope, not in any way shape or form.  It's supposed to be the cupcake that no one remembers or is happy that we beat.

Is it a "big" game considering the state of the program right now?  Yes, and yes it is sad to admit and sucks to say but it's the truth.  We are literally on the longest losing streak in our history.  We have an unpopular coach who has failed to live up to expectations.  We have an OC who has failed to live up to the hype (in a small sample size).  We have a fanbase with expectations for growth after last year's collapse.

It is a must win game and there are no guarantees.  Just ask Tennessee or FSU how difficult the gimme games can be.  We legimately could lose and I think if we did, the coach's fate would be sealed.  So yeah considering all that is at stake I have to call it a big game.  

But again it's not "big" as in memorable for it's lasting positive effect and that seems to be where some people draw the line.

Don't look now but, The Citadel has scored more points against Georgia Tech then we did and it's not yet halftime.

Proves further how putrid our offense has been when Citadel has a better offense.

Georgia Tech currently trailing the Citadel. They are a garbage team that may not win another game. I am not at all confident in this SC State game. 

Yeah, but Citadel was competitive in losses to Elon and Towson. They're ballers

We could have dominated with the right peeps on the field.

I've not uttered "Fire Charlie Strong" one time.  But, I don't believe the program can lose to S.C. State in the third year of his command and be considered to be progressing or even building a foundation.  

USF Football is very close to be put on life support under Charlie's and Michael's tenures.

All coaching related.  No one will look back at this was the game that did Charlie in, or this was the game where Charlie "really showed his coaching chops".  We, the program, have been reduced to having must win games over FCS teams as watershed moments that have such impact.  It's sad, we're that far down.  We're supposed to win.  It would take a clown to lose.

 

Well I do refer to him as Chuckles....
