Guys, I really think this puts us by in the hunt for SEC West. Think about it: UT, Ark-Fayetteville, Mississippi, and Kentucky are all not that good. Wins there put us at 5-2. All we will need is a big win over Bama and we are win the damn thing! We can stop their running game and our newfound star at QB ought to be able to put up some points on their week secondary. Too, I think this big win over a ranked team like Vandy can really get our losing mentality turned around so I think we are going to have some serious momentum the next few weeks. Thoughts? I am SO PUMPED right now!

1. Arkansas is not terrible. They have run through 2 top 20 defenses like a hot knife through butter the last 2 weeks.

2. Tennessee's defense is really good and will prove to be too much.

3. The most ridiculous part---even in your scenario, we need Bama to lose to LSU and LSU to lose to someone else.

to win any of those games left on the schedule? Even his Alabama-motivational skills won't be able to bridge the gap in that game this year. Do you really think he'll take us up to Knoxville and win? MTSU and Kentucky are both capable teams and one will beat us. Croom never prepares us for the Egg Bowl.

We are probably looking at 3-9, 4-8 best scenario this year. Yeah if we play lights out the rest of the year we might get to 6 wins, but has that ever happened under Croom? We are not in the hunt for anything except the SEC West cellar.

best case scenario, and it's not even realistic unless we get past UT. Talking about the West is idiotic.

suggesting that we will win out is idiotic at best. We lost the west when we lost to a now shown to be very mediocre Auburn.

CAN we win the rest of our games except bama? Yes. Will we? Absolutely not. I'd like to hear your thoughts on us winning the west at around 11pm tomorrow night.

we get 247 yards on offense and suddenly we are world beaters cause Crooms said we are starting to execute. Nevermind the fact we only scored 17 points and it was our 2nd lowest yardage output of the season...

We are SEC West title bound babyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!

2-10 would have been enough to get him fired in 6 weeks. Now, we'll probably finish 4-8 and be stuck with him.

Because if we somehow win tomorrow, we will have at least a shot to get the season back to break even with the 3 winnable home games against MTSU, KY and ARK. Not that I'm even thinking we will win all 3 of those, but at least we will have a shot. Lose to TN and then we have to win all remaining home games plus probably go into Oxford and win . I just don't see us doing that combo at all. 6-6 is nothing to write home about but after starting 1-4 it would at least maintain some of the momentum started from the winning season last year.</p>

I don't think we have a chance in hell to win the West....To disrupt it possibly but to win it is total BS...
