Time to get all of our predictions on the record. Hot takes, record predictions, postseason predictions, etc. Let's hear 'em. Record: 10-2. I think we beat Bama again, but don't have the horses to beat Georgia yet. I also expect us to drop one we shouldn't. Finish 2nd in the East and go to another NY6 bowl. Joe Milton will be in New York for the Heisman ceremony and will be a first round draft pick.
10-2, but I'm not sure where the 2 losses are. Alabama, UGA and TAMU, on paper, are more talented. Can Jimbo fix the sinking ship? They're scary good if they get their shit together. Milton is either a Heisman front runner or he's benched by week 4, I'm willing to bet he's a Heisman front runner. Ramel Keyton turns himself into a superstar Josephs or Pierce lead the team in sacks We'll still cuss Willie Martinez

Plus they don't have the home field advantage that left us playing behind the sticks most of the game. Hopefully we will do that to them this time.
This is were I am. I just have a good feeling about this year and Milton. I think we are going to shock a lot of people.
I think we lose one of Missouri/South Carolina/Kentucky. I just have a bad feeling about laying an egg in one of those match ups. I have a sneaky feeling it might be in Lexington. I think we beat Georgia in a madhouse Neyland matchup to end their long ass win streak. We go 1-1 versus Florida/Alabama 9-2, no Atlanta and borderline playoff spot or get a NY6 appearance. Milton gets invited to the Heisman ceremony, where he gets the honorary runner-up slot to a UT player and Knoxville burns more couches in response. Jaylen Wright earns first team All-SEC, as does Squirrel White. Cameron Seldon and Arion Carter become freshmen AAs.
It pains me as well. I just think it happens. They are borderline teams who might catch us in an off day. Kentucky, to me, actually has a decent QB this year and lends me to thinking it might be them. We have a lot of tough games in Lexington. More than we should.
Exactly. I don't recall ever predicting one of these teams beating us. Full Disclosure: Dooley, Jones and the Gump had me awful close. And my inside voice may have whispered to my brain during various times of their tenure. The bastages.
