Is the Hogs schedule the toughest regular season schedule of all time?

Should the season go on, not only do the Hogs face 10 SEC opponents, but 6 of those 10 are ranked in the top 13 of the preseason poll:

#3 Bama
#4 UGA
#5 LSU
#8 FLA
#11 AUB
#13 A&M

On paper, that's fvcking brutal and I would have to think unprecedented.

RIP, Hawgz.

Didn't A&M have something similar or harder last season?

If the hogs go undefeated would that be the best team of all time?

The case could be made, because they would add 3 more ranked teams they would have faced in the SECCG, Semis, and title game.

Looks brutal as hell. Team needs to fight on the field. Lots of opportunities to knock off a big dog and earn some cred.

You shut em up Freek.

Not 1 Squealing Hawg has showed.

They are cowering in the piggie sties.

They are squealing and schitting themselves.

I can see these Hawgs quitting and going out and getting Covid-19 to pass along to teams and players knowing they’re gonna get their @$$€$ stomped.

How do you find any honor in punching down?

A few of those teams will end up being mediocre so it will end up not looking as bad.

Plus we have Alpaca.

That's the right attitude. I would think at this point most Hawgs would be praying for the season to be canceled.

It is going to be hard for them to keep it together with that schedule. Injuries and players sitting because of covid should be most concerning. That doesn't include taking politics on the field which could cause tensions with players and fans.

I don't see anything to gain with that hard of a schedule. I just wish the more beatable opponents were in the earlier part of the year because if they could win a game then it would help with morale.

Probably. Or maybe all those 5 stars on other teams with a potential NFL career are the ones to do a COVID analysis and sit the season out, and the teams we actually play on the field may look nothing like they otherwise would if it was a normal season. Tons of unknowns.

I just don’t think General Stormin Normin Swartzkoff’s landing on Normandy Beach to win the American Revolution and freedom would have happened quite the same if he was skittered at being the underdog ??????

The problem is the other teams have a lot more depth than we do. So when the numbers dwindle down, they will have redshirt freshman while we trot walk ons on the field.

Nothing wrong with being an underdog. But it isn't feasible to have five to six potential blowouts in a row where you had no chance of winning. You have to give your team a chance and this schedule does no favors and easily can break this team very quickly.

We forget that football is suppose to be fun for both players and fans. That schedule is not fun and a death sentence to a football program that is losing a generation of fans.

Imagine yourself in the Pittboss shoes. Is that the message you bring to the team?

Yes. The reality is brutal. Only two options. Soldier on or quit.

Georgia Florida and A&M aren’t as good as advertised

Or this group could hurt some folk's feelings.

I'm going with that.

LSU will fall out of the top 25 by season’s end, IMO.

Depends on the MoV of the games.
