2018 is our window in football

We have some developing holes in our roster after next season, but we have one hell of a returning team. We get Florida and auburn at home. We do have to go to bama though. I think we can win at LSU and OM.

LSU has Ed O and just promoted a very uninspiring OC. With LSU schedule, this is almost certainly Ed O last year.

aTm just hit a hr for HC. Maybe they push bama and maybe they do not, but they will certainly be a 9-10 win team year-in, year-out starting in 2019. With that said, they are not a good team this year.

OM has some offensive firepower this season, but no defense. They will not be a bowl team. They will lose a lot this season too, but they will go all-in in state for the 2019 class though.

Auburn loses a bunch on oline, secondary, and RB this year. They will be back to 10 win team again in 2019 though.

Bama is bama, but they do lose a bunch on defense.

Ark will not be good this year. I am not sure how much better Morris will be than bielema, but I do think he will be better in a couple years.

This is our shot at Atlanta, and I am not sure when we will be in this position again.

Jimbo is overrated.

We should be pretty good in 2019 as well.

QB- Key Jr
RB- Hill Jr
WR- Guidry Sr?
WR- Heath So
Slot- Jason So
WR- Todd- Jr
WR- Couch- Sr
ATH- Dear- RS Sr
TE- Farrod- Sr
TE- Austin Williams?- So
TE- Cumbest- RS Fr

That's a lot of firepower and our receivers will be a strength.

LT- Eiland Jr
LG- Reese Jr
C- Story? Sr
RG- Daryl Williams/Champion- Sr
RT- Dolla Bill/Phillips- RS Fr/Sr

Not a bad group. I think Dolla Bill is going to be special which is why I have him starting. If not, it will probably be a senior. Too soon to know, but it should be a veteran group even though losing Jenkins will hurt.


DE- Rivers (NFL?) or Adams- Sr.
DE- Kobe Jones- Jr.
DT- Lovett- So. (I'm assuming Simmons goes pro)
DT- Charles Moore- Fr.

OLB- Spencer- Sr
MLB- Leo- Sr
MLB- Thompson- Jr
OLB- Gay- Jr

Pretty good group in the front seven and I'm not exactly sure where some guys like Crumedy, Aaron Odom, Devon Robinson, Josh Jackson and Jett Johnson will quite fit in yet but I think all will play and possibly start by 2019.

CB- Dantzler- Jr
CB- Tyler Williams- So (maybe Brian Cole Sr?)
S- Marcus Murphy?- So Or maybe he plays CB for us?
S- Landon Guidry?- So or CJ Morgan Walker Jr?

Definitely some question marks here, but some pretty good talent. Dantzler looks really good. I don't where we will play Murphy yet- but I'm sure he will play. Guidry is a freak of nature but coming off of a knee injury. Not sure where exactly Brian Cole fits in but I'm sure he would start among that group.

K- Christmann- Jr
P- Day- Jr
KR/PR- Thomas and Mixon- Sr

Should be one of the better special teams units in the SEC in 2019.

I think the next two years are going to be pretty good for us.

I definitely think we will be solid in 2019, but I think the competition will be much tougher in 2019

Maybe. Really too soon to know. I think Ole Miss will be pretty bad in 2019. If you are right about O at LSU- they may have a new coach or at best will be unstable. Arkansas just hired John Chavis as their DC and he sucks. Does Saban leave after 2018? Auburn could be very good. And who knows who is going in the NFL draft?

With us playing ULL in NOLA we are essentially going to play 8 home games.

2018 is our chance to win it all- no doubt about it. We only get these chances once every 10 years

We had it 1999
We had it in 2010 but couldnt close on Newton
2018 is our next chance

If Bammer can field a serviceable 2ndary, I like their chances to do well... The front 7 on D will be improved (especially at LB depth due to injuries in '17)...

The offense has the talent and depth to be Saban's best, yet.

....and the schedule is a bit easier than in '17, IMO.

I think y'all's season rides on this 3 game stretch:
Sept. 29 FLORIDA * Starkville, Miss. (Davis Wade Stadium)
Oct. 6 AUBURN * Starkville, Miss. (Davis Wade Stadium)
Oct. 20 at LSU * Baton Rouge, La. (Tiger Stadium)

Just as I said last year Auburn-Bama would decide the West in 2017- State/Bama decides the West in 2018

Unless we have a bunch of critical injuries or our staff totally flops, I agree. Problem is we are bama when it really matters, again

We have to get over that mountain eventually. Why not 2018??? Lot can happen between now and then for both teams

Because like every other time we play Bama with a championship on the line it's in Tuscaloosa.

That's the case every year...

Auburn's schedule is too hard, IMO... It's not "LSU" hard, but it's a bitch...

except when it isnt like in 2016, 2015, 2014, etc.

Bama-Auburn has been for the West in 2017, 2013, and 2010

In your opinion what would are chances have been in percentage if Mullen was still here and what is it now?

Damn, I'm getting wooly just thinking about Coach Joe beating Bama in his 1st year when Dan couldn't find one win in 9 tries. And if this happens, Coach Joe may get us to Atlanta the 1st week of December -- how would that be for rubbing it in Dan's face?

But alas, I know this is MORE than putting the cart before the horse. But damn, wouldn't that be awesome?!!!

Its really hard to say....

I think JoMo > Mullen offensively...but Grantham had that defense playing hard. Shoop is a good defensive coach- but until he proves it this Fall- I cant say he is better than Grantham
