Fair, most State fans aren’t predicting us to win the west, either. We just know we’ll do better than everyone else thinks we will, because we always do.

Schedule - to me - isn't just about who you play its about where you play them, when and where your off week is.
After Vandy, I'd say now on paper you're most winnable SEC games are Ole Miss who will be the fourth SEC team you play in a row and Mizzu who will be the last of a separate 3 game SEC stretch where you play physical LSU and MSU. You play OM at Little Rock which is not as an advantage as Fayetteville and you have Mizzu on the road. A&M and State may be winnable but both are also on the road. Who cares where you play Alabama. You also go to Colorado State - although I do believe you win.
Because of where Ole Miss and Mizzu fall on the schedule, I think those games are more problematic for Arky than if you played Vandy and Tennessee (Mizzu) or ULM (Ole Miss) the weeks before.
Again, I am almost a full moron so what do I know?

Three points, but the judges are subtracting 2.5 for using an already self-deprecating remark for a burn.

That is fine but if you compare it to our previous schedules this one is easier than most. I think you are looking at this year without context of the previous years. That being said, I still think we finish bottom 2.

Well, that's just false.

I don't think this A&M team will be soft. Just the amount of improvement in actual coaching we saw in the Spring is reason for optimism, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Also, Elko has more talent to work with at A&M than he has ever had. The defense will be the bright spot
The offense, on the other hand, is kind of a mess. A&M will play tough but lose just as much as they have been 7-5 to 8-4 for final record. A&M still has to learn how to incorporate foreign concepts such as a TE and FB into the offense under Fisher.

So, beating a 9-4 LSU is your ceiling, and he coach that accomplished that is gone. Very interesting.

yeah. I thought last year's game was an indictment of O's ability to get a team ready. LSU looked lazy and soft for the first time in my memory.
Maybe he learned from the past

I agree. I think a lot of factors were involved. That's not to excuse the loss. MSU played a great game. LSU just looked completely flat and lost and defeated from the start.

Technically A&M is at a neutral site, but might as well be.
