Since self-reflection and humility are qualities present in all ranters, tell me, what did you expect in the preseason that didn't happen?

I've always thought Cam Cameron was overrated as an OC and QB developer and that he wouldn't get LSU's offense to the point that tiger fans were hoping. Mett is head and shoulders above where he would be given normal development and they can score with anybody.

Ppl are more likely to brag about what they got right than swallow pride and admit what they got wrong.

I thought we'd be 6-2 right now instead of 7-1

I didn't think Auburn would be so elite

Nonsense.

Ranters understand the value of introspection into one's wrong predictions.

I knew there would be growing pains in our defense, but I didn't think it would be this bad. I also thought said defensive players would quickly progress throughout the year and I appear to be wrong about that.

Driskel wasn't going to be that bad this year.

FLA's WR would be an issue.

Thinking we would field a defense better than a school for the blind 3rd string team.


Which is fortunate for the rest of the nation otherwise there would be no controversy on who would win the Natty.

Sucks to waste such talent because of a defense.

I really thought LSU and aggy would compete for the SEC-West, possibly a NCG spot.

Boy was I wrong.

I was right about Cameron and the offense.

I was wrong about the defense. I fully expected them to be hitting on all cylinders by the fourth game. Didn't happen. Probably won't happen. They're just not as good as I thought they'd be.

I didn't think Gus would dominate the league in his first year.

I thought the defense would be mediocre, not terrible.

I thought the offense would be improved but still mediocre, not really good.

I didn't think LSU would lose to Ole Miss.

I thought Arkansas would get to four, maybe even five wins.

I though Florida's offense would be improved.

Got wrong:

USCe to run the table and be in the BCSCG.

Bama to lose to TAMU.

Arky to look better.




Got right:

Mizzou to be better and shock some people.

Same for Auburn.

Vandy to take a step back.

I was very wrong about UGA. Thought they'd run the table and get over the hump in the SECCG to get to the national title game.

Predicted LSU would have 3 losses so I'm not feeling wrong there yet.

Auburn and Arkansas have been somewhat surprising.

Mizzou has been the biggest surprise of all so far.

Look at it on the bright side.

This past off-season, nobody really even responded to Mizzou fans.

This off-season, you can look forward to the Ellington TD gif as the standard response.
