Way too early but we are #15 in preseason

Do we have a locked in QB starter yet, hearing rumblings that Mayden is making a push?

And God forbid someone coming in here and being positive you all are like a pack of Indians on a wagon full of women.

Well this is a first, we are sour and saying we are over ranked and over hyped this year

Shit enjoy it.. maybe we will get lots of pre season hype .. The more the better.

Just because half of y?all don?t like Joe doesn?t mean you can?t pound your chest a little at the thought we might be pretty good this year..

All of these. And I think Auburn is a toss up at this point. If they lose to Oregon and A&M I feel like we probably beat them assuming we are 4-0 ourselves. If Auburn wins either Oregon or A&M or both we probably lose.

So if this alienates the fan base and you dislike Joe isn't this what you want?

So outside of the bowl game ,
Joe lost to 2 teams that made the NYE 6 bowls
One that was in the championship game
And a 10 win team that won the Citrus Bowl

And btw this was the same team the year before that lost OM at home

The rumblings you hear is because Mayden had a good showing in a spring practice scrimmage
In the end maybe he does beat out KT, that’s actually a good thing that means Mayden is that good

The BIG wildcard here is if Moorhead is significantly better than what he showed last year but just went through the first year issues that Saban, Smart, etc all did.

2nd year is usually when you find out what you have with a coach.

He faces 3 2nd year sec coaches this year too... all 3 on the road

You could make a case that DT is the only position unit that we are substantially worse at compared to last year.

Others whether by experience or a new player, you could argue we are equal to better at.

---

It?s going to come down to QB. Does KT or Mayden fit better than Fitz? Can the WR Corp develop to where they catch at least 80% of the footballs that hit them in the hands? If so, we can be a dangerous team this season. Fitz makes some better reads and our WR?s don?t drop a couple easy passes last year and everyone is singing Joe praise with another 10 win season.

Holy Cow, I liked our schedule last year. This is as favorable as it gets in the SEC West.

So as much as you dislike JoeMo, but you still want him to succeed? Now that really makes a lot of sense** . If somebody dislikes somebody the norm is for that person to not wish them success, but just the opposite.

I dislike joe as our coach. I don't know him as a person. I want him to succeed though bc he coaches my school. Pulling for him to fail is pulling for state to fail. Why is this hard to understand?

It has less to do with the rundown of wins and losses...because you're right that our losses were all to very good teams...and more the complete incompetence we showed on offense in basically all those losses.

I would feel much better if we were ranked #17 !

There are changes that can make a difference, but I'm not sure much of it shows up in the rankings.

Coaches leave, players get arrested, players get injured, some players don't qualify, some teams gel on their own in the off-season - some don't. Hopefully we have a lot of positive intangibles at work that can mean an extra win or two.

We don't know. Our QB could be walking to class, trip up, and break his arm on the fall. OR Our RB could tear an ACL during summer. A lot of things can happen

Which one?

If our offense had been as potent as our defense we would have been in the playoffs.

About the OP...

I think #15 may be a little high. I could see #24 or even #23 with our returning talent but #15 just screams future disappointment.

I really want to see Joe's offense start to click this season. If it's more of the same as last season then I don't see how even Schrader could save him in 2020.

Yeah, that's exactly why people were upset.

And it wasn't really about not being as good as our defense. Nobody expected the top offense in the country. But better than incompetent? Sure.

^^ This.
We've come a long way in the last 10 years. I think JoMo will take us further. If not, he'll at least hold serve until we get someone who can.
