They get to Atlanta in the biggest shite show of a year the EAST has seen in a while. UGA, UF, had more injuries than players. Tenn is in official year 1 of rebuilding. Kentucky is Kentucky. At the end of the day, Vandy is still Vandy. The only DECENT school they played was SCAR and that was without Shaw for a good portion of the game. They also struggled against Okie Lite. I just don't get the confidence going into this season for them.

Cocky? No. No right to be cocky.

Confident? Absolutely. And why not? If the first 2 years have shown me anything, it's that it is all about luck and who can stay healthy. If Mizzou can stay healthy, they'll play with anyone, just like last year. If they're not healthy, they'll lose to anyone, just like 2 years ago or like UGA and UF last year.

The bookmark on my browser has replaced SEC Rant to Cocky. It's what it is.

Give me a break, go frick yourself. I'm sorry we have confidence in our team and aren't just gonna lay down before the season has just begun.

Injury excuses are lame they happen to everyone. Did you forget we lost our QB for 5 games and our best corner for a few as well?

Injury plagued or not... Winning either division in the SEC is something to be proud of. Yall better pray we don't win the west anytime soon, because this place will be hell for anyone other than Aggies.

When was the last time the east ended up with 2 top 5 teams? Last year seemed like an unusually strong year for the east.

I get this from aTm and Mizzou. I really do. But to many of us, it's not a big deal. I'm not sure if that makes sense or not and it's certainly not intended as a flame to either of the new kids.

So are you saying that if we win the East again this year, we have the right to be cocky?

Or will you be part of the old guard that will maintain that, injuries, scheduling and luck made the stars align once again?

You're right ... but remember, this is a West board so just learn to roll with the punches.

I'm sure flarduh fans felt the same way when they were coming out of the dark ages, y'all are a very recent college football super power. Hell it took arky and scar years to do it, I think it's an accomplishment, don't give me east was down blah blah, I honestly don't care

In some year, all that does happen. It's happened to most of us at some point or another. Wouldn't you rather beat everyone at their best? Sure, you'll take the wins as will anyone but it's much sweeter, IN MY OPINION, to take everyone down at full force.

I'm not sure why you guys have so much trouble with folks pointing out facts about last season. Mizz won the East title during UTs worst run ever, a UG season where the offense was decimated with injuries and a UF season with no offense, a 4th string QB and 70 starts missed due to injuries. Those are just facts. Mizz may have won anyway last year had those facts not existed. We'll never know.

Congrats on the East title and hang that banner with pride.

It's been over 30 years. Your idea of very recent is a bit strange.

They are the reigning division champions and played the west champion well.

They can do whatever the frick they want

The premise of this thread is a bit strange.

Who cares if they are cocky? I can understand that since no one respects them and they'll be treated like Arky forever.

Trouble with Okie Lite? They were a top 15 team last year.....Mizzou also went 6-2 against ranked opponents and was 2-0 against the west in the regular season, what was Ole Miss's and A&M's excuses??

Florida had a top 10 defense last year still, our backup QB still put up almost 300 yards.

There are schools in the SEC who never won a division championship, we did it in year two, pretty sure we should feel good about that.

Sorry LSU has no shot at winning the West now with Alabama, Auburn, and A&M. No you can't come to the East.

Finally, kindly go frick yourself.

You're confused about the team that won the West last year and a Texas team that's going to start threatening for division championships on a yearly basis? LSU fans really are in a whole different world of kool aid drinking.
