I know this is a process and losing Smith is a killer but why do we ALWAYS struggle so mightily with SEC play.

It just boggles my mind.

Meanwhile, programs like Auburn, LSU, TN and now Alabama have had no problem just wrecking the SEC pretty quickly with new coaches. I realize its early days with Bama and this is an oversimplified way of looking at it but damn.

Got smoked by Mizzou at home and then they go and lose to Miss State.

So frustrating.

This is just your mind playing tricks on you

Pearl didn't have a winning record until year 4 in SEC play. It took Rick Barnes year 3. Wade and Oats have done well early but Oats still has a long way to go. Some Bama fans were already giving up on him by the end of noncon play this year.

This year and last year it's always in the back of my mind other SEC programs generally look bigger, stronger, faster. UGA, FL and LSU are similar when I watch them.

It's one main reason I'm ready to see more of Williams as he gets accustomed to this level. I took it as a big positive last night when multiple times he worked to create his own shot.
