A surprise team is better than not being mentioned at all. That being said even I could have said the winner of the UT UF game was going to give Georgia or South Carolina something to think about.

Maybe it's better, but it damned sure isn't something worth celebrating. I'm ready for our fanbase to be pissed about NOT being the favorite again.

I don't like where we are at. I'm just saying this is really the first yr we have really had a chance to do anything since dd got here. IMO also I'm ready to win again as well.

Agreed.

We haven't even been the "dark horse" or "surprise team" lately.

I agree but I've got a good feeling this team has been motivated and united to come out and prove all the doubters wrong. I feel like being a "dark horse" is a good thing for this team this year and they're feeding off it. But yes I usually would prefer to be the favorite.

The last game I was able to be at was the 98 Florida game. Well I just picked up my tickets for the Florida game this year. Let's hope we get the same result.

Aren't we the "SEC east surprise team" quite a few years in a row now?

May not happen again for a very long time. Florida has easy pickings in recruiting and Georgia and usce are only gonna tread water at the least. Mizzou is a dark horse as a newcomer as well. Lots of quality programs to be a full head above them all
