Although I'm almost never wrong, I am occasionally. I am here to admit it.

I thought Lacy would have a huge year. I always said he wasn't as talented as TR, but I thought he'd put up similar numbers this year due to the O-line and a better passing game. For whatever reason, injuries, etc, it hasn't happened. He looks a step slower to me this year than previous years. Not sure if he's bulked up too much or what, but he just doesn't have that explosive move through the hole.

I also thought Christion Jones would have a bigger year. He's made a few plays, but has been overshadowed by the depth. He's also been pretty pedestrian as a returner.

Who were you dumbasses wrong about?

I thought Mettenberger would be halfway decent.

Bernardick McKinney

Kid was a 2 star with only an offer from Mississippi State who played mostly QB in HS. Now he is starting as a RS FR for State and having a great season.

I was right about Mett. Every LSU fan was wrong.

All Bama fans were right about AJ. Every LSU fan was wrong.

Beckham so far this year
Thought Simon would make more plays

Mccarron is better QB than I thought.

Said before the season that I had a weird gut feeling that Kiehl Frazier was gonna shock some people and put up big numbers this year.


Turns out it was just indigestion.

Mike Blakely. Really thought he would be a great back this year

Harrison Jones starting/getting playing time over Brian Vogler(although Vogler hasn't exactly done much himself).

Nationally, Robert Woods being the best WR in the Nation. Not even the best on his team right now. Nordly Capi becoming a big name passrusher, only to get expelled for beating someone up.

ETA: Oh and pretty much everyone in the offseason regarding LaMichael Fanning...

Morgan Newton. Thought for sure after he helped UK beat Auburn and Georgia and went 5-2 in 7 games as a freshman that he'd be the next big thing. I, like many of my fellow UK fans, even wanted him to usurp Hartline.

I'm still wondering WTF happened.

I've only seen him a few times this year, but he seems to do the spin move too much--even when it isn't necessary.

Kiehl Frazier. I thought he'd just be average.

He's much worse. A program killer.

I was wrong about Eddie Lacy putting up big numbers. He's shared more carries with T.J. Yeldon that I though he would. I didn't think the injuries would hold him back as much as they have. He's a step slow and that's a bad thing in the SEC.

I would like to call out those Alabama fans that didn't think Chance Warmack was going to be a great OG for Alabama. He not only surpassed those expectations, he may be the best OL in the country.

I thought losing weight would make Kenny Hilliard a better back. Hasn't been the case this season.
