Honestly, I'm just hoping that if they do win that it brings them a little bit of closure so they can move on. If we do win though, it'll definitely be worse than both the other two losses combined. They've had it in their heads that Year 3 was the year. I think this mainly has to do with the fact that they've got a more veteran team this year than we do, but regardless, the first two years were Nutt's fault. They've been touting that this one is Petrino's team, and if he doesn't manage to beat Nutt in what is clearly a rebuilding year for us, then they may be on suicide watch. I honestly fear for Nutt's life trying to get out of that place if he does win.
Regardless, win or lose this weekend, I'm not going back to that place to post until at least the spring. I told them I expected this to be a down year for us rebuilding toward a peak in 2012 and 13. I'd been saying that for a while over there, since before the 2009 season. I also told them I didn't think they were going to win the SEC this year, or next, or the next. There is no reason to hang out there and have those same discussions until the off-season.
