Signature win '13

[coastdoglover]

L S U

[SaltyDawg]

I think we beat A+M

A+M made us look silly last year. We looked like a pee wee football team against them. Hope you're right though.

Which of these games do we have best shot of winning?

Osu
Lsu
at USCe
at aTm
Bama

I say we beat Osu. If I picked an upset in any of the others, I'd say aTm (not predicting it though)

I just want us to beat a Top 20 team.. Just one win in 5 years is not asking too much, imo...

Nobody mentions that A&M lost their OC and that could pose some potential problems. They lost some good WR's and a couple of NFL linemen too. They will be very good again- no doubt...but they have some questions

The lost one Tackle in the 1st, Rb in 2nd, DE in 3rd, LB in 4th and Swope their WR in the 6th round..
They gain another Matthews at Center.
I think they will be fine. Kingsbury leaving might hurt them the most..

As someone else said we looked totally overmatched by A&M last year, probably even moreso than Bama, so it would take a tremendous swing to the positive for us and swing to the negative for them to have any legitimate chance to beat them in College Station.

I have a feeling that South Carolina is our signature win this season.

We didnt give a shit when we played A&M last year. The team was flat as hell for whatever reason...and I dont expect us to beat them this year on the road

They lost 2 starters on the OL- both to the NFL...they lost their 2 leading WR's at catching TD's- but they have plenty more of damn WR's...lost a talented RB but they have more...

Just something to watch for if losing the OC causes any problems.

If we didn't give a shit to play A+M, then we have way bigger problems than getting man-handled by them at our home field. We were 7-1 when we played them, the game was hyped up more than a lot of other games with all the Snow Bowl shit, and they were brand new to the SEC.

I find it hard to believe that 'we didn't give a shit'.

[FlabLoser]

I've seen this movie countless times. A great team loses an OL or two. They'll be the same right....not even close. Not unless they are Bama and have guys on the bench who are better than everybody else's starters.

Our aTm game is the only State game I have ever walked out on. Our team quit, so I did too. I walked out at halftime and snoozed in The Junction.

[bluelightstar]

None. When we beat them, the goal posts will move again so Ole Miss has something to run their mouth about -- and self-loathing MSU fans will have something to bitch about.

I can see it now -- dominant against Ok State -- "well they lost alot so they just aren't very good this year"... It's a no-win for us as long as our dumbass fans allow OM to set our perception for us.

Let me just say I'm not a self-loathing MSU fan. But I just don't take wins over UF, UGA, Auburn, and Arkansas programs that are some of the worst they've ever fielded as symptomatic of program improvement. They sound good on paper, but it doesn't seem to make us much more than a paper tiger.

They only lost one OT to the NFL, Matthews is coming back to play with his brother(new starting center).

They really didn't lose that much and like Bama will just reload. Must be nice..

All you had to do was watch the game and you could see it. We had just gotten hopes, dreams, and egos crushed by Bammer and it was a letdown

And I dont think anybody doesnt realize now that we had some problems with chemistry down the stretch last year

Fish, they lost their center and he signed as a FA with Green Bay- I'm not talking about the other OT

[TexasDawg]

I think what he was saying is that the new center is another one of Bruce's boys. He is a stud as well. Here's a link to the spring depth chart.

My vote would be for OK State. I am not buying into their hype. They are dealing with a new OC and they have yet to name a #1 QB. I just don't see why they are getting so much hype. Because they kicked the dogshit out of a terrible Purdue team? To me this is the most likely win of the bunch.

I get that he is saying they have plenty of talent- not disputing that one bit. Nobody could have imagined how shitty Mike Sherman was as a coach with all the talent he had amassed. The Center they lost was a 2-time All-Big 12 OL- Patrick Carter and he is expected to make the Green Bay roster- ie lost 2 NFL linemen

[TexasDawg]

I agree with ya coach, very tough to replace two stud O-linemen. I just believe that by November 9th they will be well acclimated to the speed of the college game.

Gotcha...

I am sure the younger Matthews will be pretty good too.

I've mentioned it repeatedly. They won't be as good this year. With their schedule they could still hit 9-10 wins though.
