quote:

"Unfortunately, I don't think it will work as well next year because it seems like everybody else has ratcheted up their game," Freeze said of recruiting. "It sure seems like everybody has upped their aggression. Last year at this time I felt like we were pushing as hard as any. Now it's everybody -- Auburn, Tennessee. "Last year we never really had to fight Auburn or Tennessee for a kid this early. That's changed."
quote:

"The difference between us and Alabama right now is [Nick Saban's] got a bunch more Robert Nkemdiches," Freeze said. "We still look at our depth chart and we're not there yet. We're not at an SEC depth chart yet [compared to] LSU, Alabama, Georgia. But we took a step in a right direction."
quote:

"Unrealistic expectations always produce frustration," the coach said. "That was my message to all these alumni groups. The reality is we could have a worse record and be a better team."

Do you guys consider 8 wins unrealistic? Remember the Rebs hardly lost to LSU in Baton Rouge

No I'm expecting 8-9 wins so it's no where near unrealistic

I think he's trying to tell fans not to put so much pressure on the man! Even us here on the rant talk a lot of smack about our next season. Don't mean that it ain't gonna happen though!

The only smack I talk is to LSU fans. It's inevitable that we are going to beat them IMO

What we have to realize is if Arky and Auburn aren't as awful as they were last year (which I don't expect them to be this year) then we don't win 7 games. We don't go to a bowl. I think our fans sometimes read to much into one season. Like Freeze said, we could be drastically improved on the field and not even have as many wins. I think we get to 7-8 but I've seen some people saying Bama could be our only loss. No chance.

Honestly, the game at Auburn has me thinking trap game. I've said that for a while

Me too. If they have any kind of QB they could be fairly good

I hate you and your predictions. I blame you for our epic fail in baseball this tournament.
























I'm not really laughing

We are Old Priss. Did you really have any baseball expectations?

I say first it all depends on the Vandy & Texas game and how we do in them and in saying that I would not be shocked for us to go 5-7 or 6-6.

Now I got that out of the way ... I think we beat these three teams: Vandy, Texas & LSU ... so you can tell me what I think we are going to do this year based off that.

Missouri's star running back will be back too, so that won't be a cakewalk either

Honestly, I'm concerened about the Texas game. Someone convince me that we have it in the bag, please.

Personally I think if we lose to Vandy and Texas it's still possible we win 7-8 games

It's going to be tough. We won't give up 66 points, that's my only prediction for that game
