Buncha defeatist pussy talk happening in here.
Even in our mediocre years the PAC12 is inferior. We can out-athlete them across the board.
UGA and Bama are the only games in which I'll consider us underdogs at this point. And both are beatable.
I'm not declaring 15-0 (trademarked, copyrighted, all rights reserved for Sani) but I'm certainly not going to tell you that we're going sub .500.
8-11 wins and the wide range is due, of course, to the Gus-factor.
It isn't defeatist pussy talk it's the reality. I just don't see the wins you see. I want to be optimistic, I love being optimistic.
However, I'm looking at the reality. IMO we had a better team last year and finished 7-5 ...8-5 over a mighty Purdue. QB is the big player in this game, and we have no idea what we have. Including Gus has shown time after time that he can fuck up even the best QB.
I want to be on that train with you, but every time I step on we hit a pothole and I get thrown 50 feet in the air and hurt my ass.
I see guaranteed wins against the 3 nobodies and Ole Miss and Arky. That get's us to 5.
Assuming losses to FUGA and bammer. I could possibly agree with you that FUGA is beatable, but I don't see us beating the turds not even at home. I also think FUGA has the better team than us right now, Jake Fromm from State Farm at the QB position gives them the edge.
That leaves us with Oregon, @ aTm, Miss State, @ Florida and @ LSU - That's a tough slate.
You said 8 wins, are you happy at that number? What makes you giddy? I think I would be surprised if we got 8 this year, but it doesn't move my pecker. Like I said it all depends on what those wins and losses look like. We get 8 wins and look to be a team making strides through the year, maybe I'm ok. Yet Gus has never shown that in his entire tenure save for 2013.
I like your attitude, I love your optimism, I just don't see the signs.
