Well...I'm not claiming that, just posting the link. It is fun to think about though.
I am not so concerned about the playoffs as I am that we make the SECCG. That was my preseason goal and what pretty much everyone expected. Our chances of winning it were always in doubt, honestly.
Now, having said that, I got mad at my best buddy from college a couple days before the Tamu game. He was trolling me a bit via text message, saying that Butch should just sit out all the starters and play scrubs against bammer the first time, because no way can we beat them twice, they are too good.
That made me angry for two reasons. One, we hadn't played Tamu yet, and my idjut friend is already thinking about the SECCG
(and most likely had a few when he texted me.
) Two, he always plays up bammer. Although he is a Vol, he was born in bammer and I think he still has a sweet spot for them. Makes. Me. ANGRY!
And of course, knowing this, he was trolling me by saying we can't beat bammer twice (and had almost certainly had a few).
Well...if you look at the injury list, many of the injuries sustained against bammer and Tamu seem relatively minor. Add to this the fact that BARNETT set out about half the game, whether he meant it or not what my (likely drunk) texting buddy said to troll me...ACTUALLY HAPPENED.
How much of it was Butch using any excuse to pull a starter halfway through the third, and how much of it was actually serious injuries IDK, but we are likely to be far, far healthier in Atlanta, should we be fortunate enough to be there.
So again, I don't GAS about the playoffs, but if we get to Atlanta and pull an epic upset, that's way more than enough for me.
