And???

I for one am not feeling terribly confident. I have seen that place on a Saturday night and there is no more decided home-field advantage in college football. Couple that with a QB who is starting his first SEC game and you've got some concerns.

Our run defense has not been stellar (we really allowed some huge runs up the middle against UT) and our vertical passing attack is non-existent without Deonte Thompson out there. Not sure if he is playing this week but that will be a huge key for us. I also don't think Tebow will go but it is supposedly entirely up to the Dr.'s, so who knows.

So your coach does this non-stop and you defend him (including kicking off the campaign with a totally baseless one directed at my alma mater), yet I have to keep them to a minimum? I don't see how that's fair.

Yeah, he really dug his own hole. All I had to do was cover him up.

NFL record means shite. .. And he's handed the reigns of the defense to the best defensive football coach of the last two decades.

So your point here is that what you did in the NFL doesn't matter for head coaches but means you're the best defensive football coach of the last 20 years if we're talking about coordinators? I'm not saying Monty Kiffin isn't a great coach (at least at the pro level), but your logic is a bit fuzzy.

Not that big of an upset boss. You're talking about 2 top 5 teams with the lower ranked team playing at home in (debatably) the toughest venue to go on the road at in the SEC. Not even in the top 5 as far as upsets in the conference go if it happens.

He wrote for some newspaper in Nashville for like 10-12 years before he got on at ESPN as well...

Wonder if that pass he is throwing in the Under Armor game is the one where he hit Debose that won the ESPY?

Andre Debose
+ Sub 4.4. speed; consensus 5-star prospect; Meyer has said he will get the first crack at playing the "Harvin" role in the offense
- needs to gain weight; only so many touches to go around

No, but it's not as far off as you might think. The year we lost in Starkville (aka 2 days before Ron Zook got canned) I think it was pretty wide. Won the NC 2 years later with many of the same players that were on that team.

That's why it was the ultimate embarassment. :yack:
