[QUOTE="Randy Carson, post: 972039, member: 766"] Rubbish. It's not about "training wheels" for Key. It's about getting more players of higher caliber into the program for multiple years in a row. Lots more. Kids want to win. LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade wanted to win when they went to Miami, and they were adults. People want to play where they can win. Gibbs and Simms come to mind. Glad you enjoyed your trips. But your junkets aren't actually relevant or important to building a winning program. Winning consistently is. We lost some gimme games because we don't have the right talent and the right depth, yet. I think we will because I think Key has built a good staff. But not if we keep losing to Big A** U every other week. That just makes recruits want to play for the other side! Again, going 9-3 (meaning we're 9-2 going into Hate Week) will pack BDS far more than going 6-6 or 7-5. When it's FUN again, people will want to be in on it. It's hard to get people to invest emotionally or financially in a losing program. NO ONE is saying we shouldn't play P5 football. And no one is saying or even implying that we have to play Podunk State every week, either. In case you haven't been paying attention, we've played a couple of ranked conference opponents this year. What IS being said is that we have to rebuild - as quickly as possible, of course - but that is not going to happen if we're getting whipped by three touchdowns week in and week out by programs that - at present - have us outclassed. So, no, we don't need to play Ole Miss and no, we don't need to play Georgia every year, either. Swap them out for Tulane or James Madison or some other team hovering just off the Top 25 list. Why not go in-state with Georgia State and Georgia Southern? We could even re-ignite the Auburn rivalry when we're ready. You want to play in the Orange Bowl again? Me, too. First, we have to get to Shreveport. [/QUOTE]
