I think we can go anywhere from 8-4 to even 10-2 depending on how we do in back to back road games at Missouri and Kentucky.
No illusions about beating Georgia in Athens but we have a very good staff and talent that will only improve into the month of October where it gets dicey.

Know it's crazy to think this way given we haven't beaten anyone of any consequence since 2019 when JaTarvious Boobee Whitlow went off for 114 yards in Tuscaloosa but
this is that kind of team.
Auburn went 9-3 with a smattering if talent compared to this one.

I'd actually feel decent about UGA if it were in Auburn. Had them on the ropes last year, and Bowers went all He-Man. He aint on their sideline this year.

Thorne doesn't have to throw for Penix, Nix, Beck numbers to get us there, just somewhere in the neighborhood of Milroe or McCaffery.

Hugh Freeze names Hank Brown as backup QB.

Saw a LOA episode earlier with Hank. He said passes to Cam become a 99/1 catch and that he is a "freak"...

Fuck Thorne. I think we’ve all seen enough. He is what he is. Jeremy Johnson part 2. Deer in headlights in game.

A decade of this futility.

Hank Brown seems like the obvious choice based solely on his performance in mop up duty in the loss to Maryland. Did more with a cardboard box in that brief glimpse to make us wonder how he might perform with all of the latest toys at his disposal.

Walker White is an afterthought. He's advertised as a very dynamic physical specimen that's still in QB kindergarten.

Holden Geriner is antsy.
We have a long list of nervous types that have never recovered their high school glory after a disasterous outing on the Plains. Sad when even the clipboard holder is having a panic attack on the sidelines.

Brown might not be able to scoot for valuable yards the way Thorne can in some instances to keep a drive alive but he could give us what Mendoza brought for Cal Saturday afternoon at Jordan Hare.

We only want to win.

I am afraid this will be correct. It drives me up the wall.

We are at the point of needing a Dye/Saban “nuclear” option.

Saban was a last chance, Hail Mary for that program. Had it failed? Had he failed? It would have been over for them for decades. Fade into obscurity like Nebraska or ole Miss.

I won’t ever forget how he took things over (like Dye did) from day one. Telling my friend who was a long-time hanger on and part of the program with Stallings to leave the building unless he had a reason to be there…. Stuff like that took guts. If he hadn’t gotten results? Would have gotten him fired.

That’s not who we hire.

I don’t want a dictator, necessarily. But I’m tired of mushmelons. Teams reflect the personality of their coach. Never forget that.

I doubt Ol Hugh is ordering everyone to assemble for an 8 mile run in the morning.

I gave the kid all the benefit of the doubt in the world, but holy fucking christ on a crutch was that an awful performance.

I predict he gets a very short window in the NM game to produce or get the hook.

Also, WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT OF THE IN-HELMET COMMS if someone can't shout in Payton's ear: CAM'S SHOULDER IS FUCKED. DON'T THROW HIM THE BALL!?!?!?!?
