Don't see this as some escalation of improvement. Sorry
Fans are just overlooking that so they can feel betterQuote:

Exactly.Quote:

This is a realistic goal rather than shotgun saying we gonna blast blue bloodsQuote:

and anyone that thinks biden didn't get 80 million votes, is an idiot. full stop.Quote:

I hope we play our final two games. We need to play well. Continue to grind and build.
I'm not convinced Leach is going to be successful at State but I feel better about our football program after tonight's Egg Bowl loss than I did after last year's Egg Bowl win. The man has proven that he can get players to buy in and play hard. A win or two to end the season would be great to build in for next year.
The beating was one of two. He got kicked out of TWO high schools. Simmons' deal was literally his only blemish. It actually was a "second chance." Corral is on his 4th or 5th. Mullen's first act at Florida was to withdraw his offer. Ole Miss is pretty much literally the only place that would allow a guy like him to play for them.Quote:

This teams won't be better. All are losing their QB or top playmakers
Ha ha. I noticed that too. But not surprising.Quote:

First two years may be tough, although I believe we see some improvement after a crazy Covid year. In the 3rd, he better be showing me he can for sure make it work.Quote:

You mean the cheating on election day is obvious. I agree with everything else.
I think Franks is pretty much gone, he may have played himself into a late round draft pick. 4th in the SEC in most categories. Just seems like he's done with college regardless.Quote:

Agree, fantastic analysisQuote:
