Just saying, you heard it here first. Oh, it will be tough. We may lose to the Pokes right out of the gate, spoiling our opening weekend, and talk will really heat up - "WHENZ MERLINS GONNA WIN DA BIG ONE????!!!!111" and other nonsense. Then, we are going to get on a roll, solidly beating Auburn then knocking off LSU. We'll hit a rough skid with Bama, aTm and Carolina, and the idiots will come out, but then we'll again handle the rebels at home to finish 8-4. If we can knock off Okie State, 9-3. Then you start getting into wishful thinking, possibly beating a haywire aTm team on the road to do even better. I'm sticking with 8-4 though. Tyler has a banner year.

And when we do it, some fans still won't be convinced. They'll say Auburn/LSU/Arkansas/Ole Miss/whoeverwebeat/etc. is 'down', whatever the f*ck that means. It won't completely convince our fans about the Spin Machine, but it'll at least slow the panic landslide down.

We Are Miss Stake.
