"Dan Mullen has never beaten an SEC west team, except Ole Miss, and except for teams that finished last in the SEC, and except for teams that had interim coaches"

Ole Miss -- Ole Miss overachieved last season and now all the little rich bastards are back on their "Hotty Toddy" Kick. Ole Miss has the most delusional fans in all of football, but they got a damn good coach who falls in James Franklin's category of doing more with less. He put together the best recruiting class in Ole Miss history, but he's urging fans to not get on their soap box just yet. 8 wins is the best I see the Teddy Bears doing this season, if that...

Good post. With Tennessee I'd argue we have no clue what our actual talent level is but we do know we still have depth issues. Last season was the biggest comedy of errors I've ever witnessed. I don't have any expectation of being a contender but I also think things were so erratic and undisciplined last season that it's hard to assess what we have.

Probably should be though. That damn OT game in 2010 gave me ulcers.

While I appreciate the effort, I don't think some teams should be labeled either. I think to be a pretender or contender, your team needs to have halfway decent expectations. I think when you have a brand new coach, you're not ranked anywhere around the top 25 and most expectations have you around .500, how is that a "pretender"?

I think the only teams that should be ranked in either category are Bama, LSU, TAMU, MSU, OM, UGA, UF, USC, Vandy and Mizzou.

We will gladly trade 2010 for the game we should have won in 1980 if you like. Even swap.

Appreciate the offer but no thanks. The 2010 game was particularly annoying to me though because I was the lone UGA fan with a bunch of Gator grad friends of mine (I live in FL). There was a lot of shite talking throughout that game, so it sucked to lose. The last few years have helped though

Sorry, but nobody is going to put Vandy in a neatly tied box. We were our own worst enemy for decades. Opponents did not beat us, we beat ourselves. If that culture is behind us (and I hope it is) the sky is the limit. No so-called SEC pecking order is going to stymie our aspirations. If Ole Miss, MS State and KY are listening, they should adopt the same attitude.

Expecting another 7-6 is delusional? Everyone is so amped up and ready to jump on the first ole miss fan or alter to predict a 12 Win season.

Everyone still mad as frick about recruiting...

Ms. State -- Dan Mullen is the biggest pretender of em all & I give him this season before everybody screams off with his head....State lost a lot of good coaches to Auburn & have never beat a team with a winning record in the SEC West....He had one good year with Croom's recruits, but now his players are in place and they are not shite compared to the guys Croom left him....


DAN MERLINS has never beaten LSU or Alabama. Fire his arse right now!

UGA beat Vandy 48-3. Is that really beating yourself?

LSU is a 4 loss team this season. 2008 all over again.

So you're saying LSU won't get another win against Tennessee in the SECCG this year?

Oh well...







And for the sake of gratuitousness...:

Go ahead and pencil us in as a "W" this year. Nothing would make James Franklin and the Vandy nation happier.
