He has. Marvelously. Among other things, He blessed me with poise and searing logic.
Not only did these coaches inherit the empty cupboard we ALL should know by now, we weren't expected to win but "maybe" 4 games this year, We've also had some atrocious, costly injuries as well. Regardless of who we're playing, we've done a remarkable job this year getting to 7 wins (we weren't exactly considered better than Fla or Tenn so why we expected to dominate anybody is beyond me)! If we beat Wofford (and I have to hope we do because we should - of all games although those teams give us a problem with their offensive schemes) and later give our amazing rival - the best team in the world to ever take the field at their very best ever - a decent game, we've had an incredible year. Not sure that'll happen because they're, right not, much better than we are & not dealing with near the injuries we've had, but that's about all I could ask at this point! Improvement & strong recruiting is what we need and we'll be back on top before long! Go Cocks! This year has been a success in spite of "ugly" games IMO!
I'll have to see the opponent. Provisionally, yes. I'll let you know more definitely when I see who it is, taking how we play these next two games into account.
I deeply appreciate your courage for saying those very sensible things.
You just went over many heads here with that "big ole" word.
Have you forgotten where we came from to get to 7-3? We turned the ball over 4 times and won, we used to GET 4 turnovers and still LOSE! Where did you think we would be at this juncture?
I figured we'd finally beat UK again, especially at home.
But the reasons might have as much or more to do with who you play and the conditions under which you play them. In other words, the reasons don't necessarily have everything to do with you.
Name me a single SEC game we have won this year against any team with a winning record. Missouri is now 5-5 and yet they beat the hell out of UF and UT. Kentucky is 7-3. No wait, my bad, That was a loss. Louisiana Tech is 4-6 and we beat the hell out of them at home by one point. Here we go, Texas A& M is 6-4 and we took it to them in College Station. No, crap! Lost that one. Powerhouse Arkansas is 4-6 and I think our defense scored as many points as our offense that day. Hmmmm. The Vols are rocking at 4-6 and just got the $#^% kicked out of them by Missouri. 4 and 6 Vandy wanted Bama early this year. How did that turn out? Another loss to the same Georgia team that just got the %$#^ kicked out of it by Auburn. So much for being Number One when you play one good team all season long heading into The Plains. And finally...3-6 Florida. Yeah, when you squeak by teams with losing records to get to 7-3 I am sure it is something to crow about. Laughable if not so pathetic an arguement you put forth.
People like Coach Saban, for instance. Yeah, I see what you mean. We just need more sunshine pumped up our ^%$#. I refer to people like you as "a member of the Titanic orchestra".
Tks for a good laugh. Wish some posters would lighten up and enjoy what BOOM and company have accomplished this year.
Four of those teams you mentioned. Have A losing record because they couldn't beat us.
Well, 1 of the reason these teams aren't good is because we beat them. Are we great ? No, but this feels better than 3-9.
Yes, we should, but let's not take Wofford lightly.
There you go Jeff. We've come a heck of a long way, especially after losing those key players early in the season.
You miss the entire point of progress made. You name teams not doing well but hell man we lost to the Citadel two years ago. It's not about other teams it's about us. It's the big picture I see. We're way ahead of schedule regardless of who sucks right now and who does not. As Spock would say "You're argument is not logical".
Why are you comparing us the bama in any way? It's an unrealistic comparison that makes us look worse than we are. Compare anybody to bama and they fail. We are doing very good in getting better from the ground up. A quick fix will lead to a quick fall. You want to win long term from our position and history you have to have a good coach for a long time.
