Agree on WV. I'm looking more at the UF and SoCa games. Those game are very gettable and I think we'll get one of the two and should get both. I say that because I still believe there is talent on this roster that can be coached up enough to win them.
Pruitt has played against WV a couple times I believe, so hopefully that will help planning. Or they can plan all summer and fall and look like they had no idea what was coming like Shoop/Butch did against GT
Sept. 1 vs. West Virginia (Charlotte, N.C.) Definite loss. Probably by some margin. 0-1. Sept. 8 ETSU Win. 1-1. Sept. 15 UTEP Nice scheduling. Win. 2-1. Sept. 22 Florida I have no rational reasons to offer up in favor of the position that we win. Loss. 2-2. Sept. 29 at Georgia Loss. Will not be close. 2-3. Oct. 13 at Auburn See above. 2-4. Oct. 20 Alabama See above again. 2-5. Oct. 27 at South Carolina Chicken dinner, baby. Defense wins muschampionships. 3-5 Nov. 3 Charlotte Nice scheduling. 4-5 Nov. 10 Kentucky I actually think we might win this one. 5-5. Nov. 17 Missouri I don't love the arc of this mizzou team. I see no reason they won't be able to score a ton on us next year as well. Loss. 5-6. Nov. 24 at Vanderbilt The glorious season-closing win gets us into the taxslayer bowl. Woohoo! 6-6.
Ouch. Hadn’t looked at the schedule really. Didn’t realize how insanely likely a 2-5 start is. Tough to bounce back from that.
I can't make plans nine months away when the wife and I are talking about baby #2. That said, I would very much like to go, and if I do, I'll be wearing at least something orange, but quite possibly something blue and gold too. I don't usually do wishy-washy, but this is an exception. Hopefully David catches three touchdowns and UT wins 49-21
UGA will be losing 31 Seniors including Chubb and Michel. I have not bought into the Kirby Smart is Saban 2.0 hype yet.
They still have a team full of blue chippers, but losing 31 seniors will hurt. They have RB talent for days and the best OL coach in the country.
I dunno about Saban comparisons but he's recruiting at an insane rate right now. Swift coming back and two 5 star backs in this class.
yet if their 5* qb doesn't go down, they aren't in the playoff, imo, and getting all this pub for their beatdowns. I think they are a good squad, but it was set up for them. Backup qb comes in and forces Chaney to not get pass happy. Play a terrible UT and UF team. Don't have to play bama reg season. And forced auburn to beat them twice in 3 weeks as auburn had bama in between.
They are heading to the playoffs in year 2 after losing their starting QB almost immediately. Our dumbass fans acted like we had Lombardi when Butch managed to win 6 in year 2 while bungling the QB situation from start to finish.
Why is that. They are in the playoff and graduate a bunch of players and will have another good team next year. There's a lot to sell to recruits.
