What's this?

Beginning to wonder about Snakebitten, Bad Luck vs a


7 of our 8 losses are by a combined total of 27 points. I like Young. I really do and am very happy with his hire. I think he's a very good coach. I'm hopeful this is a one year thing of bad luck, being snake bitten, or call it whatever. I'm worried though. I've experiened over the past few years the other side of simply being snake bitten or bad or just tough luck with Fu. Fu, at first, we though it was "snake bitten," or just "tough luck," with the close losses, then we realized it was more than that. We realized it was HIM. HE just had a "Knack" for losing close and nothing was going to change that. Lets face it, there are some coaches who just have this knack for losing close.

I'm hopeful this is a one year thing of bad luck, tough breaks, or just being snake bitten and not a "Knack" for losing. When you get multiple close losses, it's one or the other above. Lets hope it's just tough luck and not the "knack". I think Young is a good coach and this is just a one year thing of tough breaks, but..I'm worried, and I probably shouldn't be, but after experiencing Fu, I've been pre-conditioned to worry.
