If I told you before the season we would be 4-3 at this point with a chance at 7/8 wins

When you turn out to be better than you expect, regression shouldn't just be shrugged off.

We've outplayed every team that we've been on the field against except for Georgia, yet found a way to lose two of those games

Best chance is UAPB and Mizzou if your being realistic.
6-6 is a great year in year two of Pitboss

It would be soul crushing for that Mizzou game to keep us out of a bowl. We’re so snake bitten against them though that I’d prefer to be bowl eligible before then.

Once you lose a certain amount of games, the season becomes less meaningful. The difference between 5-7 and 6-6 is one stays home in a warm bed and the other will turn into a block of ice against a Conference USA team.

ohhh, with drinkwitz who wanted the AR job but for much more $$$ and having Odom as the DC, they definitely have something to play for. Not to mention the bragging rights of the streak.

It will not be an easy win, unless we get a few players healthy and win a few between now and then.

State is perplexing to me. It looks like the type of game our team matches up well against because they don’t run the ball like Ole Miss. If we can get pressure with 3 then I like our chances but we haven’t been getting much pressure at all since A&M so who knows. If Rogers has all day to sit back there and throw then he’ll have some sort of 42-52 for 400 yards kind of career day.

My prediction was 5-7 so I'm fairly happy with where we are now. This team, at this point, was not going to get through this stretch of games and not take a beating. We still have UAPB to go and three of our remaining games are imminently winnable. 6 wins and a bowl game is a lot better than 2-10 and trying to shake off getting blown out by North Texas.

We drank the Kool-Aid, and it was delicious, earlier in the season but the reality was with this nightmare of a schedule we were screwed. Swap our schedule with A&M (who truly got a steak and blowjob schedule this year) and we would be debating whether we get 10 wins this year. Unfortunately for us, when we had the rare fairly easy schedule, Chad was our head coach and Western Kentucky was naming their score against us.

Beat UAPB and heal up, get past the Bama game and then see where we can pick one up down the home stretch to become bowl eligible.

Missouri is really, really bad

If we lose to them, I will feel very poorly about where this program is going.

The game called on Saturday was a HC meddling in the offense.

Okay. I'm not saying this to attack you but do you have confirmation for that? Are we sure its Pittman micromanaging the situation or is it just the natural flow of the game?

We scored 51 against Ole Miss... was the Pittboss making Briles run only the plays Sam wanted? If so should Sam Pittman be his own OC?

Look, I think that Briles gets more heat with the fans than he should. I also think that Odom should have his feet held to the fire a bit more than he is right now. But unless we have actual confirmation that Pittman is micromanaging Briles and causing all of our offensive woes than I don't think we should be hanging all of this on him.

I'm just not sure I am buying into Pittman is ultraconservative in his play calls and over rides KB all the time when we ran a slow developing pass play in our end zone the last game. That doesn't fit the narrative very well.
