Soooo Luke supporters can he win 6 games in 19?

Not especially pro or anti Luke, but let's not go crazy here. In 2019, we have Cal at home as our most difficult out of conference game (4 wins). We have Vandy (5 wins). Arkansas has recruited worse than us and they're bad now plus State will have lost Fitz (1 of those two is six).

We'll probably have Tennessee from the East who is rebuilding. Frankly, we could be pretty bad and win 6 maybe even 7.

I really feel the only close game we'll have this year will be Alabama. Possibly Auburn stays within a couple touchdowns.

I always forget about that deal

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?

Its a weird year (with the exception of Alabama being the team to beat). I'm pretty confident putting Auburn at two. Past that, there's more question marks than on the Riddler's costume.

A&M: over the last few years sort of thought of as a "soft" team. I think it may take Jimbo a few years to get them week in-week out competitive. I'm interested to see Jimbo coach a mentally fragile team. I'm certainly not ready to crown them but they are a "safe" third, but I could see two blowouts (Clemson and Alabama)in the first month collapsing this team. They could win 6 as easily as 9.

LSU: brutal schedule. One loss could start hot seat rumors. O is, well, O. I don't believe he is capable of coaching a team to more than 9 wins, which will get him fired eventually. The 2017 Auburn win will be his coaching career highlight. They could win 9 or 5, and neither would surprise me.

Mississippi State: I think they're more talented than last year, but could easily take a step back due to offensive coaching philosophies. I don't think Morehead will use his QB as a battering ram, which is their returning QB's strong suit. If they try to drop him back, pro-style ... they don't win six games. I think Mullen would win 9 with this team. Not knocking Morehead, the team was just recruited differently than I believe he will moving forward.

Ole Miss: will be great offensively this year. I believe they really figured out the OC's system in the last half of 2017. But good God, that defense. If they have a defensive pulse, our favorable schedule makes 8 wins obtainable. Otherwise, OM is staring five/six wins in the face.

Arkansas: I like Chad Morris, but they will be awful for a bit. Schedule does them no favors, putting winnable Ole Miss after a month stretch of at A&M, at Auburn, then Alabama and the OM game is in Little Rock. Also, Mizzu comes after LSU and at State. They do get Vandy and out of conference is an embarrassing breeze, but I think a good year for the 'backs is six wins. I'm almost halfway sure one of those wins will be a miracle against Ole Miss, as God has apparently decreed.

And we could also finish the season with Auburn in the playoff or Gus on the hot seat, as is their tendency. I guess my point is, this is the year Saban gets run out of the SEC!

I wish nothing but bad things for that guy.

He could have made this go away before like Slive always did - the Slive rule was "nobody rats." I would, if that's the case, get somebody like Jeff Long at Arkansas to be our back-channel. He's well-respected and he probably has the foresight to realize us going down due to Leo will lead to State going down and LSU going down and how long before the SEC is the Southwest Conference?

Pretty plz

Maybe interested, but I'm not sure he had a commitable offer until we dropped one. I seem to recall he was close to accepting a preferred walk-on offer to us until Mullen called the last week or so before JUCO signing day so we pulled the trigger.

Regardless, I don't think anyone would allege it took money to sign Bo Wallace - I mean, if the guy had cash he could have afforded a haircut years ago.

Unless the NCAA bans football on our campus before November and turns the Vaught into a safe space, I think Ole Miss will be on that list.

We may lose every game 50-49, but we'll gain yards and score points.

I just picked a name of a guy people would recognize - although failed, ambition-greater-than-accomplishment, and riding elephants (whether over the Alps or in the mobile homes of Oktibbeha County) would fit, no?
