No


8-4 probably. I thought 9 wins (including bowl win) was probably our ceiling

I predicted about 8 wins. But, in my defense, some of the other SEC teams haven't held up their end of the bargain.

I predicted a serious 14-0 in January.

Same for me. I predicted we would upset 1 of LSU, AtM, UGA, or Bama with AtM being the most likely.

Also predicted we would beat Arky but lose to UT for an 8-4 regular season.

If we were to lose to UGA and Bama I will have been right on every game on the schedule with the exception of the UT game. Hoping that is not the case.

I was thinking we would have a really good season, and win 9 games. That included a bowl game.

Top 25. I thought 8-4.




Not Top 10.

I didn't think they would win an SEC game outside of maybe MSU.

Why even get AU fans on here going? Why?

how concerned are bama fans about the iron bowl?


0. It will not be close. I actually would give MSU a 2 on the worried scale.

This. And that was based on optimism. I did think AU could have that type of showing and start the next season in the 10-12 range, but I didn't expect to be top 10 in the BCS with 2 to play.

You thought we'd win zero SEC games in the preseason and you're still not slightly concerned?

No. Not at all. Look at the line. Apparently not many people are concerned.

Who cares if they're concerned. These aren't savants we're dealing with.

Starting a DB at QB who has discipline issues and threw as many INTs as TDs in JuCo. Plus road games at TAMU, Ark and Tenn. Much better Ole Miss team. Etc.

Few more gems from the robot:

Stoops and Bert were better hires than Gus.

AU won't win more than 5 games and won't make a bowl.

Man I figured 7-5, but never did I think we could go 11-1 or 10-2... especially after the tuff LSU loss.

I thought they would be better than last year and probably go to a bowl but not a top 10 team.
