Title: What I want Post by: 10EC on September 12, 2022, 02:46:51 EDT I want the 90s back…. No, not this year, but this year is so important for recruiting.
We have a great opportunity to take that step in 13 day (12 and a wake-up)…. If we win that game, we “should” have a good shot at LSU on the road. If we could somehow show that kind of improvement and demonstrate the atmosphere of a winning program and a packed Neyland stadium, we can get this back. I hate pinning it so much on Florida, but we have to get that monkey off our backs and behind us. You don’t get many program changing games as a coach. 9/23 is that game….

And of those two expected losses...well, did you SEE bammer yesterday? Dare I even dream of 11-1? :crazy:
Title: Re: What I want Post by: murfvol on September 12, 2022, 04:36:41 EDT I would take a loss to LSU if we beat UF, Bama, or UGA.
Title: Re: What I want Post by: Volznut on September 13, 2022, 12:59:25 EDT LSU is terrible - bad QB play. We all know what that does to a team first hand
Bama defense is excellent, but they don't have that go to receiver yet. They also took a step back in the run game. I think the offense will be little easier to defend, but Bama's defense keeps them in all their games UK is better - tougher defense, but they're banged up on offense. That will be a game. UGA I think is our only certain loss. I think 9-3 to 10-2 is realistic Title: Re: What I want Post by: BanditVol on September 13, 2022, 06:29:52 EDT At this point, 10-2 should be the goal. Maybe not the expectation, but the goal. It's doable. And of those two expected losses...well, did you SEE bammer yesterday? Dare I even dream of 11-1? :crazy: Completely agree on both points. Absolutely should not be the expectation at this point in the season, but could happen. I give it about an 8% chance. :biggrin: That's not a joke BTW. I see us as having 3 more toss-ups, UK, UF, and LSU, for which we should flip a coin. Odds of winning all three are thus 1 in 8 or 12.5%. Drop a few percentage points to cover the odds of an upset vs. Vandy, Mizzou or Junior (in increasing likelihood of occurance), and that gives 8%. Notice that I am not dignifying Akron or whoever the sacrificial HC opponent is with any chance of winning. Okay, make it 7.99% :laugh: Get through UF and LSU, and the odds increase to about 45% :dude: |
