I really don't like being called a troll. It really grinds my gears and I'm sick of it.

So which is it? You are bothered or you aren't? Last time we locked horns you assured me that you weren't bothered... now you are.Well, you are annoying.
So 1) you have not cited a specific source and 2) you are still trying to argue a point different from the one in the OP.Vegas and legit media (that excludes BR)wish to be correct. They don't just throw things out. And they are a lot better at it than you. If they say we shouldn't be favorites, they have done so with great consideration of the facts at hand and I agree with them.
So you post this full of angst while saying that you are not annoyed but are annoyed... and without having read to see what my opinion is?What do you think is going to change with our team in practice with so many not even participating?
Did you say if we should or shouldn't or did you just yap, yap, yap again?
Yes.Edit: I noticed in your next response that you pointed out to someone that the numbers still have us slightly behind UGA. I assume these are DAJs numbers that we both believe to paint a fairly accurate picture?
I also mentioned a study someone had a few seasons back that showed a returning QB was worth wins. UGA also plays Aub and Bama this year which will be penciled in by most as losses. They will have to run the East to win it. I am not sure UT should be "favored" but I would say they are one of two teams with the best shot of winning it.... and would lean that way right now just based on UGA's schedule and the unlikelihood that the other 5 have enough horsepower.If so, even though it is only a slight disadvantage and one we could overcome, it would be "overcoming" - meaning - no we shouldn't be favored.
YOU did not READ the OP or if you did you decided to answer a different question... and you are someone to be complaining about someone else throwing "insults".Of course you already know this, you are just much more interested in throwing insults than having an actual point.
No.
Expect a .500 record again per our leader.
“We’ve had two very, very solid, very good recruiting classes back to back, but we’re still not there yet from a competitive depth standpoint. We’re still a couple recruiting classes away.”
Head coach doesn't think we are at a competitive level, why should the fans?
Goodness. This program hasn't won more than 7 games in something like 7 years. I'm not saying we can't win it, but we can't be the FAVORITE to win anything until we prove it on the field.
This place just feeds itself. We start with expectations to win 7-9 games, then somebody says "why not 10," and then the next thing you know we are favorites to win the SEC.
By next month, I expect to tune in here to see claims that anything less than 14-1 and the national title will be a disappointment.
I'm sorry. I love the hype we've been getting from the outside, but have you paid attention the past decade? :/
I'm not sure. I haven't found a good way to get at that. Someone else posted recently that UT returns the most starts in the East but I don't know for sure.
IMHO, two of the "big 3" in the East are back in place with UF sure to get back into it within a year or two. The losers in all this are Mizzou and USCe who have benefited from UF and UT slumping at the same time.
The reason I would differ with you on UGA is that they play both Auburn and Bama. I think Auburn is the team to beat in the West this year rather than Bama. Arkansas won't be a push over but I'd rather have them than Auburn. UGA probably has to run the East to win it... and they play at UT.
Both games were closer than the talent says they should have been. The Vols may not be on a completely level plain with UGA but its much closer than it was.
Someone in recent years tried to establish the worth of having a returning QB. IIRC, it was somewhat significant. That's another thing that hurts UGA.
I'm not saying you are wrong so much as pointing out that there are negatives to picking UGA too. The East is wide open and UT is positioned well.
I'm sorry. I love the hype we've been getting from the outside, but have you paid attention the past decade? :/
You'll lose to Florida because you always do, lose to Bama and Georgia because they're better than you, and drop a game you shouldn't because your coaching staff isn't good.
8-4 at best.
