Bama is gonna lose 4 games this year.


That would get your head coach a 10-year extension.

Arch has to simply play smart football. Texas success, real success, will rely on CJ Baxter and the running game in general.

If Baxter lives up to his potential, the defense holds true to what they have done, and the injury bug doesn’t hit..

We have no excuses.


True but we have a lot of questions on the OL and that will directly impact Baxter's success. Sark showed a lot of flaws last year in his coaching. He can learn from it and, if he does, we can be successful but we have a lot of question marks like the other teams in the SEC. This conference is wide open this season.

If UTx loses to Ohio, they will have a long season. Same for LSU at Clemson.
It will definitely be a bummer to the fan bases but unlike the old days there will be plenty of time to recover from that.

That said, I think it's stupid to schedule these big games since the committee dings you for losses but doesn't credit you for big wins it seems.

There’s a lot of humble Texas fans, just too many keyboard warriors that make other fanbases think Texas fans are all dicks.

My prediction we lose at osu and uga but win in the swamp and end up the 9 seed in the playoffs.

UGA wins sec

Seeing how 78 teams make the playoffs now, play all the big games you want.

78 playoff teams might be an exaggeration.. But not by much..

So screw it.

Pay for play? Ok, play the best against the best. No more than one game against ‘The Sisters of the Poor’ OOC.

It's a coping post. More anti LSU than pro any other. We accept it.

I think we lose to OSU


It'll be the one game I'm really breaking out my "SEC! SEC! SEC!" chant for. I hope the Horns take them to the woodshed. They did lose a ton of talent to a 2 loss natty team that fell to a 5 loss Michigan team. So, they're way overrated IMO.

Elko is stocking the pond with talent.

Schedule is reasonable. We will know who we are by game 3.

Have a downvote. Anyone who knows anything about ANY SEC sport knows that Tennersee is always pre-season champs. I mean.. we gotta give them something. FFS
