[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 143913, member: 1640"] Exactly this. To my mind the 2010 season we should have been 10-3 instead of 6-7 but for some very bad breaks. The same could be said in 2011 when we probably should have been 10-3 instead of 8-5, 2012 when we should have been 9-5 instead of 7-7, and in 2013 when we probably should have been 9-4 instead of 7-6. During those seasons we had improbable heartbreaks after unbelievable bad breaks and lost to Georgia twice when we just as easily could have won, lost to VPI 3 times when we had the game won, and basically just found ways to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. I mention this to say the obvious. If I had dared to suggest that these seasons were not nearly as bad as the final record demonstrated I would have been ridiculed mercilessly and called a Tech homer. So what do you call the opposite of a homer, someone who in the face of Tech having the fourth best season in Tech history somehow suggests that the record does not indicate the real inferiority that is there?
