What hype train?


Our perpetual hype train. Haven't you heard? VOLS are always overhyped. The entire past decade we have been picked to win the East.

Oh you mean the one where people mistake us for Georgia. The team that actually is hyped and picked every year they field a team that might have a pulse.

But, but...the defense is going to be legit this year...and Eason has a cannon-arm...we fixed our o-line...they were so young last year...and returning starters...

Something like that?

Or something like this?

I'd like an explanation on why we don't deserve to be ranked.

TIA

We haven't been hyped since 2014 that I can recall.

Tennessee is the team that was supposed to win the East the past 2 seasons and failed miserably

We were never predicted to win the East the year prior. We were picked 2nd and finished second. Last year was the first year in over a decade we were actually picked to win the East.

Georgia is picked all the time. You're a media darling and always have been.

Care to back that up with some preseason facts for the past 5 years?

Because we've been dwelling in this 8-9 win range for a few years now

That's because UGA is generally the safest pick to at least not be terrible. Even if we don't win, that pick isn't going to blow up in the writer's face.

2016- UGA was picked 3rd in the division, finished 3rd

2015- UGA was picked 1st in the division, finished 3rd

2014- UGA was picked 2nd in the division, finished 2nd


2013- UGA was picked 1st in the division, finished 3rd

2012- UGA was picked 1st in the division, finshed 1st

It doesn't, David seems a little off today. That was a low tier poster response he just laid on you.


I actually agree. My internet skillz have dimished here lately imo. Not sure if I'm lacking that dog or what but I need to get my swagger back.

He seems to have that pattern of win a big game early in the season, roll up some wins, then fade in the home stretch.



He's only been a HC for 2 years. However, 1 of those years he only lost one game, and that was on the road without his starting QB. Last year, agreed they got up for their big games and didn't have their guys ready week to week. Some of that may have been from all the talk about him leaving, or it may have just been an below average job to finish the season.

13 means to me they go 9-3 in the regular season. Losses to USC, OU, and one other, maybe Okie State. no one else is really that good so I could see them doing something like that

He got that tattooed on his woman's arse. It's really working out well for all involved.

Is it bad luck to just keep slapping it or do you have to stick to once a day? These are the serious questions that need answers.

This decade, Texas has started every season ranked. They've finished ranked once.

I think it stacks. Each additional slap is like a multiplier. I'll fact check, though.
