I'm still in the 10-2 camp but concede that the two games we gave away makes it unlikely.  Worst case is 8-4 but think 9-3 is very doable.

We can absolutely beat Ole Miss. Just afraid that Kiffin will get them up for that game. He hasn't won in Fayetteville since he was the Bama OC.

I don't see anyway we beat Texas either, but I also felt the same way about Tennessee.

10-2 wouldn't be incredulous, but I'm also worried that at some point we will have one of those 'WTF' games.

I actually think our WTF game will be our next one after the bye week. We seem to always come out flat after a bye. Hopefully BMFP won't let that happen.
Well, shit...

I'm still a big believer Texas is a Missouri who hasn't played anyone good yet. (No, Michigan is not really good).

They have played Colorado State, UTSA, LA-Monroe and Miss State.  

They play Oklahoma, George, Vandy, Florida and Arkansas over the next 5.  They will lose 2, if not 3, of those games.

We seem to have adequate personnel at every spot. We've been able to move the ball and get first downs, and get some stops to get the D off the field. That should make us competitive with everybody. That means we are due to get our doors blown off by 4 touchdowns.

This is where I am.

Before the season, 7-5 was my hope so anything above that I'm happy and can't complain.

6-6 or worse, would be a big disappointment but I don't see it happening.

Basically wins are Tech and MState, then knock off one or two of Texas, Mizzou, LSU, Ole Miss.

I hope selfishly Mizzou is one of them. Those fuckers are due.

This season is like an ultimate we hate all of them schedule.

I really would like to beat A&M and Missouri.  They shouldn't have the recent success against us that they do.  I hate it.

Obviously hate Texas.

Then there's Tennessee, Ole Miss, and LSU.  Those games are always good games, and I hate all those frickers.

Okie Lite.  Easy to hate.

That leaves Auburn, State, and the rent a wins.  Not really much built in hate there anymore.

Drink is the old immature version of Lane Kiffen of running his mouth and the shit he's said about us

So hopefully, his cataclysmic fall from grace isn't too much to ask for.

This bout with BYE is a revenge game from last season when I think everyone knows we got fucked at home.
"I got fired for using free speech" yea imagine getting killed over it

Thin Red Swine

I haven't seen another team we can't beat.

Granted, I haven't seen the T-sips play but they must be really good.

I say 9-3. JFB help me. 

BleedinRed

My god the difference two weeks makes.  

We were all predicting 2-10 after the A&M loss.  Now, more 8 & 9 win predictions coming in.  

I love it...

Pigsmoke

It is better team this year. Better QB, OC and line. I thought the defense was good last year, they just got wore out because the offense was so bad.

They are still able to stupid themselves to a loss at any time.

7-5

6-6.  This teams inner Sam will re-emerge.  I expect a couple of usual q4 collapses from leads to crush your spirits and cut your hearts out. 

Some of you would give Sam another five years over that win over the Vols.

I said 7-5, but you're right. We could fold just as easy. Glad we beat Tenn, but I don't want Sam any longer than this year.

LSU will be key.  We might get more love and players reading socials and clippings.  Must stay focused.
Never squat with your spurs on!

Which coach in the SEC would you rather have at this point?

Honest question.

Lane who just lost at home to Kentucky? Drink? Heupel who we just beat? Stoops who shat the bed against Georgia at home? Napier? Beamer? The previous drunk degenerate at Texas? LSU's fist pounder?

It's a week to week meltdown of who needs to be fired, retired, or crowned.

I'm not a Pitt hugger but damn. He's not the sexy coach, but for promoting a career o line coach, he's mostly been respectable. He may shit the bed the rest of the year, or he may win 10 games.

Just crazy how 1-2 games can affect the fan sentiment of a coach.

At this point I would take Lane. Kentucky is not a bad team who beat Ole Piss.

I have been hating on Pittman since the end of 2022. People love him not for a coach, but for an aw shucks kind of guy. Someone they can have a colbeer with. Fuck that.

He has made horrible in-game decisions that have cost us a lot of games, and the players look sloppy at times.

 I don't think his recruiting has gotten better, but at least he struck gold with TWilliams. I don't believe he went looking for Petrino, but told to hire him.

It is year five and still struggling with rebuilding.

He is Great Value Nutt and I don't care what our record is at the end of the year, he still needs to go. Promote TWilliams and retain the rest of the staff.

Left on the tarmac Lane. Cool. I mean. Whatever floats your boat. 

I don't hate Lane but I think it's a fine line between love and hate. Fire or extend to coach for life.

To say,  no matter what the eoy record is means nothing, is asinine.
