[QUOTE="Lee, post: 753186, member: 786"] I can’t tell if you’re serious. I hope not. If you can’t differentiate between a national championship and a random loss in a bad year then I don’t know where to take the conversation. Can you tell me about how much losing to Louisiana Tech in 97 or Northern Illinois in 2003 means to Bama? Those losses matter as much as all their national championships? Even the ones from a long time ago? No way. Nobody is saying that we shouldn’t have lost. The point is, nobody (besides most GT fans) gave a crap about us going into last year other than the buzz Collins created. We’d become an afterthought in the college football landscape. We were transitioning from an option offense that led us to great things but then obscurity and were expected to suck. Most people’s reaction to us losing to the Citadel last year (outside of our fan base and maybe some dwags) was something to the extent of: “hmm.” If they even cared at all. That’s the point being made. We lost, but nobody but Tech fans care. It sucked, but we were supposed to suck so it wasn’t that shocking to the rest of the world and nobody cared. On the other hand, everyone cares about national championships. So you can logically pick and chose what matters. Logically, a national championship carries more weight than a game played by two bad teams in the middle of September in 2019. Now if there is a trend of losing to far inferior teams or no signs of improvement, you can logically say it is relevant to who we are as a program. [/QUOTE]
