re: Who wins the SEC East this year?!? I think Florida gets it done.

I think GA will be a tougher game for UT than UF this year. We play at GA and they have a chip for UT after they stumbled last year. It's the opposite for UF,,,they come to our house with a newbie at QB and he will have a difficult time in front of 1000 million UT fans. I really don't think the UT vs UF game will be close. But GA poses a different dynamic. If Eason gets comfortable it will be a tight game.

I tend to agree with that.

UGA is a trap game for UT no matter if they barely beat UF, blow out UF by half time, or lose to UF.

I think Coach Smart will have the UGA players pretty fired up too.

I think the problem for UF this year is that they come into our house entitled and thinking it's their birthright to win. Jalen ("Teez" or whatever else he's calling himself now) Tabor has expressed that attitude all offseason. They will be pumped to beat us but they don't respect us as an opponent or a program and respect for what your opponent can do is a necessary part of good preparation. When you think you can't lose you don't prepare for a lot of things, you don't work as hard in practice, the weight room, or film study and you get lazy. You could do that in years past and beat us because the talent and coaching differentials were simply too much to overcome but you can't be lazy when preparing for this team. They are too talented and too hungry. And yes, they are even well-coached despite popular tRant opinion.

UGA is different. They had a lot of success against us when we were down but they never developed the entitlement attitude that UF did. They will prepare hard for us, arrive ready for a knife fight and maybe some lowdown and dirty play on both sides, and generally give us everything they've got from kickoff to the final whistle.
