re: Why don't we have a 1998 SEC West Champions Sign hanging in our stadium?

Well saying you find it hard to put a L on our schedule except for Bama and MAYBE LSU is a bold statement

I said definite L's. In the past 5 years I put us down for a definite loss against LSU and Bama. I think we will probably lose those games, but in no way am I gonna put an L next to you them as this year will be one of our best teams against their less talented teams.

Yes our quarterback will be more productive but our O-line is not where it needs to be and our defense is very questionable at some spots.

Db play for sure. Linebackers besides McKinney. The browns need to prove they are ready. DL. Sure we have some big boys but they need to prove they can play hard every play. And when we rotate we need to be consistent. We need a true pass rusher on the edge to take pressure off the db's. Guys this season is not in the bag by any means.

ETA: potential- yes, but Mullen needs to prove he can win. Track record shows he fizzles out in crucial games.

We will lose two of those.

so what you are saying is that none of them are definite losses?

Love and Calhoun are pretty strong. Redmond is as well. Hughes will hopefully be back, if not Evans or Arrington can play that spot opposite Cox who has moved permanently. I wouldn't say this is questionable. Probably a strength.

Linebackers? Wells played pretty damn good and so did Benequez when Skinner didn't play against Bama. Zack Jackson had a pretty good year and will be better this year. Again, not sure where the question mark is.

DL? Maybe, if you're looking for one. Chris Jones and Preston Smith are solidified. Sure we need a couple other guys to step up but it's not something I'm overly worried about. The worst part is that we need a pass rushing end. You're right about that.

I wouldn't come close to saying that defense is something we should worry about. We had our best defense since 99 last year and the only person I'm worried about replacing is Nickoe and he blew for a majority of the year.

I hope we hang those outside the stadium. Those look badass

That's what I was thinking. Damn good banners.

Same comments every year. We will just have to wait and see what happens. Just trying to keep some grounded, but y'all carry on.

I highly doubt you found anything like what you're talking about anywhere on this site going into last year.
