Any of these guys don't think we can go 6-6 oughta just go start their own message board.Catching up on the podcasts and I’m convincing myself of 6-6.
Every damn year…
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
If we beat USM like we should, our fan base should be all in for Arizona State. That’s the key game.
Ditto. If we win 6 this year we should extend Lebby’s contract, burn down anyones house that doesn’t vote him SEC COY, and scream our *** off in the Birmingham Bowl.
You have to admit. That would be upsets MSU style. Beat Texas and Georgia but lose to Missouri and Ole Miss.
Look at our recruiting class think about this coaching staffCatching up on the podcasts and I’m convincing myself of 6-6.
Dawgs versus Yoda, who wins.....our season will be the same
If we win week 2, I’ll think 6 is possible. Not a given, but possible.
As of right now, it’s going to take an upset to get to 4 wins.
But some of these teams are going to be worse than we expect. We will have winnable games if we are a decent team. Big IF.

That's how I see it also. 2 wins meets expectations. 3 is a step forward. 4 would be phenomenal.
Going back to the last win which I think was AR game in 2023 (correct me if I'm wrong), as of the next chance we have to win an SEC game (TN on Sept 27) it will have been 707 days, or 1 year 11 months and 6 days since we won an SEC game.
So this is what it feels like to be Vanderbilt. Minus the academic excellence, of course.
I'll not be among those in the chamber of echoes.
I'll be proud as punch if we start 1-0 and Shapen isn't scheduled for a surgery.
My biggest success marker is going to be if we are able to force a punt.
To put things in perspective, our hopes and dreams of improvement are mostly based on the following:
1. Our D line will be improved yet still be one of the worst in the conference
2. Our alleged team strength is the RB room which finished 14th in the conference last year
3. An improved O line that was mostly built with 11th hour Spring portal additions
4. Shapen staying healthy
How could this plan possibly not work???
You left off one thing:
5. Our no experience defensive coordinator now has a year under his belt and has added a couple of retreads to help him learn
I don't think "experience" is going to help Hutzler any. But the analysts might. Maybe we could convince one of them to take over the defense for real.
I don’t think it’s a realistic path but if you are trying to chart a path to 6 wins, it involves winning 3 of the following 5.
Arizona State
Tennessee
@ Arkansas
@ Missouri
Ole Miss
I am going to go ahead and concede Georgia, Texas, @ Florida, and @ A&M.

A season with two or more wins is considered successful. I was just commenting to my son. This was the first season. I can remember where I was not looking forward to someone in the backfield or at wide receiver to excel. I don't even know who these guys are; that's a sad thing.
I'm not looking for 6 wins. I honestly think that's basically impossible. I just want to see an indication that we are improved and this coaching staff isn't completely incompetent for this level of competition.
In a way, it's good we're facing these ridiculous schedules at a time when we couldn't win many games vs an easier schedule.

Yep, kinda like we shouldn't expect "experience" to help a puny kid that's getting daily *** beatings on the playground. Another few months of it happening doesn't change a damn thing
Another peeve of mine. People clamoring to start the young freshman who's not ready so he can get "experience." If he's not ready to play, that experience will hurt more than it will help. (I'm speaking in general, not specifically about our 3rd string QB).
Shii. Remember. MSU hasn’t beat Alabama for just short of two decades. Vandy did it last year.
Tennessee is beatable. Anything can happen in the egg bowl. And it IS in Starkville. But of course we'll lose one we shouldn't, too. So there's that.
I'm hoping for 4-8 with one of those a SEC win and just be reasonably competitive in our losses.
