There's a reason people aren't talking much about it.

unfortunately, like the wonderlic, the stout defense of kentucky was just too tough to put up a good score.

i'll work on my wonderlic score and perhaps tennessee's loaded offense can improve upon a 27% 3rd down conversion rate, have a running back gain more than 32 yards, and have a qb complete over 39% of his passes on that blue steel wildcat defense
I'm not an attorney, but I'm pretty sure trolling warrants banning and is against the rules of the board. Bow9den v2.0.

.....I correctly picked the won/loss record for both 2009 and 2010 in the spring of those years. I missed on last year 7-5 because of injuries. I always consult my crystal ball (my gut) during spring practice then make my call and stay with it.

This year my crystal ball is telling me 9-3, and I was not quite prepared for that....but my crystal ball usually wins out.

The consensus ITT seems to be 9 wins is special. What the hell is special about a 9-4 season with this schedule?

I also wouldnt be surprised if we only won 6.
Going out on a limb huh? ;)

Anywhere between 6-10 wins, good call!

This is going to be one of those season's where everything is on the line from the first kickoff to the final whistle.
I could deal with that but I don't think I could deal with anything in the middle. 7-8 wins he has to go. Play 3 to get your 4th.

I say the penalty is death by firing squad but I'll take banning if it gets that troll of this board!

I see no reason to give this team the benefit of the doubt when guessing if they would be special or not. They could be, but the players and coaches seem like they just can't set themselves up for success.

Now, the basketball team has a chance to be special. Wish November were here!!

You have 5 posts and live in Auburn. Using Naggy-tear's logic, you are clearly a Gamecock troll.

??? I wasn't trying to get anyone to talk bad about the defense. I was just trying to get people to talk about the defense in general because I'm interested in what yalls thoughts are on it, and I've heard plenty on the offense already.
