Too many years we let bad teams beat us. If you don't like us going to a bowl game don't watch. And please don't be another negative poster that says we are just satisfied with 6 wins, that stupid stuff gets old too.

Well, okay. You don't know who the quarterback will be next year, and we really don't know the personnel or coaching losses we may ( likely will) have. Throw in the same for every other team and you have more question marks than certainties.
If I were to give advice, I would say enjoy what this team has managed to do and support them. Failing that, cheer for another team. Other than that, may want to stick with basketball where two players can make a team better overnight.
But I won't give advice......so never mind.
Do you realize you just replied to my post (the post where I said we should go to a bowl which is a step up for sure) with three sentences that had absolutely nothing to do with what I said ? What is wrong with you ? Let me clarify my already clear comments. I said a bowl is a step up and we've beat some pretty weak teams which means we're an average team. At least learn to comprehend what I said before you post a bunch of nonsense.
Champ, I read it and you should reread it too. You belittled the fact that we are going to a bowl by beating bad teams, where am I wrong?
We're just going to have to agree to disagree here. My original point was that we will go to a bowl which is a step up (improvement). I said we've improved which is true and it's a positive statement. The only thing I said that was remotely negative was that we're average. But that's what we are so my intent was not to belittle anyone, just calling it like I see it. Peace.
You are entitled to your opinion. You also must be really conflicted personality. You are among the majority of posters on here.
Thank you for such a straightforward though broadly opinionated statement that made sense in the 70s-80s.
I think you referred to us as a 6 &6 team, Do the math , then tell me you did't quit on this team for the VOLS & CARDS
If my assumption that UT and UL will beat us makes me a quitter then lay it on me. I'd call it being a realist. If you think we'll beat either of those teams (both on the road) you are in the overwhelming minority. Trust me, I'll gladly admit I underestimated this team if we win either of those two games. For the umpteen millionth time- I say we're better than we've been in the recent past. I say a bowl game is a step up and I'm happy we figure to be bowl bound. I'm not going gaga over this season like some of you guys. We've beaten mediocre teams at best and we're an average football team. No better, no worse.
Champ, if you say that's the way you meant it great, sorry to have misinterpreted it. And I agree its finally a step up but next year we really need a minimum of 7 wins to continue up the ladder.
5 years is considered overnight? In year 5, with a team loaded with upperclassmen, if 6 wins is succeeding to you then you are part of the problem
I really wonder if some people truly understand how successful CFB teams become what they are.
Some seem to think that a Solid starting unit with average talent for the 2 deep is adequate for SEC football. I say this because that is EXACTLY what we have right now. People keep pointing out what we will have next year for starters yet fail to look at the ENTIRE roster. It takes more than 5 years to build a program, and failing to understand that seems to be an issue with some...or maybe they just really don't give a damn and want it their way we they want it.
Give me a team with 3 deep and little drop off from the 1's and the 2's at EVERY position, and then I will start talking about winning SEC East titles. I foresee several years of 6-8 wins before we see another uptick. It's not a yearly progression where you can see "we'll coach has been here six years we should be in the playoff by now"...this is football, not basketball.

It gets us into a bowl. Extra practices are not to be sneezed about nor is tv exposure.
Of course we should have won that first game and maybe the Ga game but that's in the past. Time to move on.
