Crow, why the frick you gotta lie?

Because it sounds better

Dooley failed, so therefore all Saban assistants will fail. - Every UT fan since December

Did you read my post above that one? I haven't said a negative thing about Kirby or Sabanites on here I don't think ever (except Dooley). I just brought him up because he was a big fat Sabanite fail and there's no denying it. You need to pump the brakes.

When was the last time a true freshmen came in and won his division in this conference?



The last time it happened was never.

when was the last time jacob eason was QBing in this league? Also never.


I'm still on record as predicting 9-3, so no I'm not saying eason will win us the division. I'm just saying, every year shoudl stand on its own. What happened in the SEC in 1995 has literally nothing to do wiht this year. I mean hell it wasn't that long ago that no first year SEC HC had ever won the league then gus did it. And heck there probably haven't been that many fisrt year HCs to even win their division but miles, gus, and mcelwain have all done it recently.

Don't be puttin words in my mouth, unless you wanna meet at the Sonic

Sooner or later, a freshman QB will win their division. If, for example, Jacob Eason were to have a Josh Rosen-type season, UGA could win the East.

I don't even think it would take being a FR AA type season when you look around the east.

UT: has UF/@UGA/@aTm/Bama in a row.
UF: gets LSU adn @Ark from the west. Plays @UT

I'm surprised Tennessee hired him with a resume like that.

Nobody, and I mean nobody, wanted to touch UT with a 10-ft pole. He was a desperate hire (should have gone the intermim coach route). Looking back, the only reason we were optimistic is because the dname "Dooley" and the fact that he coached under Saban. Oh and the fact that were were trying to justify it with anything and everything we could find because we were still going nuts from the breakup

Who's writing them off? I have them going 11-1, losing to UF. The only reason I have them losing to UF is that I don't think they can go 12-0, so they have to lose to somebody. And they can frick up a game with UF better than anybody.

We could have had Cutcliff, or gone the interim route with Kippy Brown.

.

Or for that matter...when was the last time a SEC head coach won the National Championship 4 of the last 7 years?

I don't quite share your enthusiasm for expectations, but I do see a path where it *could* happen if the stars aligned... 9-10 wins is where I see us... UT game makes or breaks the season in terms of repping the East most likely, but so long as we're competitive in all games, season could still be at least a moderate success at 8 wins.

frick you very much. UT has taken that trophy after last year's performance. But in short, yes... that game has been a bit of a clusterfrick more often than not over the last 20 years or so...
