I could live with that.

Look at the projected numbers for Tyler Russell.

that anyone would think of this schedule as brutal. We have two games against Bama and LSU, which have have ridiculous talent. We have Arkansas that probably would have been a top ten team, but who knows what they'll be without Petrino. Presumably good at worst, but maybe not great.

Then Auburn, A&M, and UT that could threaten the top 25, but probably no more than one will finish in the top 25.

Then we have 4 OOC teams, UK, and UM that should finish well outside of the top 25.

That's the easiest schedule since Mullen has been here, and it will probably end up being two top 5 teams and two, maybe three top 25 teams. Completely respectable, but it reminds you what a bunch of horseshit it is for other people to talk about how weak our OOC schedule is.

I just had a small seizure remembering that night.

If we ever did a thread on games we wished we HAD missed, this one would be the winner hands down. That was the worst played game by a QB I have everseen at any level.</p>

That last interception was seen by the few and the miserable. Can you imagine what went through his head after the game that night.
