re: Are we really underachieving vs. the rest of the SEC?

We have what we have. I have adjusted my expectations to the reality of the situation. I look forward to getting to a Florida bowl next year, but Arizona and Tampa are out of the question.

Likewise. I was class of '75 so I have seen about as many bad to mediocre seasons as good. Our admins have never been all in to win a football NC and probably never will be but I am seeing some positive signs. At least they now seem willing top pay our coaches competitive wages and adding more assistants should give the coaches more time for priorities.

The next few season with Puitt and Shottenheimer should be interested but we definitely need to recruit better in-state if we are going compete for a championship. Top 10 classes don't cut it this day and time; we need top 5 classes to compete with Alabama, Ohio St., FSU, LSU, Auburn, etc.
