We here at fb.com if nothing else are eternal optimists (which is why we refuse to change the name of the site because we still love our coach).  That being said, I’ve done the math, and I think even if the rest of the SEC East were to drop football from their Athletic programs, we’d still not finish first in the East.  That’s a bit rough.

As I had alluded to in a previous post (which Alex didn’t think was possible, but then realized that perhaps it was), things got worse for the team. How do you get worse from nothing? In the first half, the team managed to rack up a total of -2 rushing yards. Written out, that’s negative two. Let’s put that into a little perspective, shall we?

If yards were turnovers for the season, that would have meant that we had lost 2 more turnovers than we gained, which is a realistic stat over a season, except we’re talking about yards.

If I were to sit down to eat spaghetti, but instead of eating any, I accidentally coughed up 2 strands of spaghetti back onto the plate. That’d be negative two.

You know what else is negative two? All the fans! Negative too! Get it?

Here’s my take on the situation. Coach Fulmer’s been around long enough and has won enough good favor with the boosters to buy himself one more year. Clawson and his band of ruffians is out the door, and an obvious successor is brought in (which is probably what Clawson was supposed to be), in the form of a Will Muschamp (which might be awkward for the Cheif) perhaps or say, a young and firey Trooper Taylor, or eve one Mr. Cutcliffe to come in for one last hurrah, back into another SEC East title and maybe finally win the SECCG, along with a Sugar Bowl berth for the coach’s ride of into the sunset (known as director of football operations).
