Buy/Sell - the last two losses have set our program back at least 5 years.

I'm mainly talking in terms of recruiting, which is somewhat of an extension of respect, at least among potential prospects. It's a soft sell for me, but losing to LSU (which is very likely) isn't going to help. We have GOT to beat Ark. and OM.

5 years? Reallly...........We're not Croomesque, YET......

If we keep playing like the way we have the last two weeks, it won't take long......

Yes, I expect at least 7 players to de-commit tomorrow...even the ones with torn ACL's, they now perceive our physical therapists that do rehab as overrated

The fact is we won't have a winning season, at least under Mullen, unless a traditional power is woefully underachieving.

2010, we caught UGA and Florida at just the right time.
2011, nobody, therefore a weak *** OOC allowed us to eek out 6-6
2012, weak OOC, Auburn, hopefully Arkansas

In 2013, our bowl streak comes to an end. While Stricklin will be giddy with delight this offseason dreaming up hashtags for the Oklahoma State game, he probably costs us the postseason. With Alabama and LSU at home, we have no room for error. Unless we win the OSU or Auburn game, we are most likely looking at 5-7. At SC, at A&M, at Arkansas...that's 3 places we probably won't even compete. A tough OOC opponent plus only 2 winnable SEC home games will spell disaster.

Even with beating Arkansas, we still have yet to take the key step we need... A win over a ranked team. I'm really tired of simply settling for beating the teams we have to and not even competing in the big games, sans '10 Arkansas (which we lost). We are running our mouths and not backing it up. We get manhandled in 2 Huge areas: speed and confidence.

Thanks for your sarcasm, but if you'll notice I wasn't buying, so kindly suck a dick. Try patronizing someone who hasn't been on the board for years, they may actually care what you think...

Good grief. Hysterical much?

It is hard to believe after that craptastic performance but we still have a shot at a 10 win season (counting a bowl).

Sell predicted 8-4

Best case for me was 9-3. Now if our recruits were a lot of blue chips from around the country I would worry, but they are not going anywhere.

Well, we've been unlucky in that respect....

Last year we had to play an 11-win South Carolina team and a 10-win Georgia team. And right now, Texas A&M is a LOT better than just "a ranked team".

It's not like we've lost to a bunch of teams ranked #22, #24, etc. Or any. The ranked teams we have played and lost to have been Top 10-15 and better.

This year, I wanted to see how we did against the 'middlin' SEC teams on our schedule: Auburn, Tennessee, and Texas A&M. We've won 2 of 3 of those, but it has turned out that AU and UT aren't middlin and A&M is a lot better than middlin.
