Going into the season i called 5-7 or 6-6. That was when we still had Trey Smith and OL transfer Kennedy. I believe if they both stayed healthy we could go 6-6. I think we end up 5-7.

Next year 7-5. Losses to FL, UGA, Bama, Missouri, and UAB.

Boys if you don't think vegas plays a role just watch this game. The books need the rams despererpy tonight and this officiating is awful.


How the hell they think this is a fumble is ridiculous

'13 schedule being tougher is absolutely debatable.

Mizzou, Scar, Auburn, Oregon and Bama were all legit top 10 teams, 3 finished top 5 and that doesn’t include bama. Uga was good until we destroyed them with injuries and Vandy was top 25

Success, regardless; and only a fool will think differently. Very disappointing, yes; but, to consider it a "failure" is absurd and laughable.

Do you not realize that until we beat Auburn, this program had not truly won a meaningful game, since the Hail Mary at UGA...just to help you out, that's 2 yrs ago. Since that time, we lost the SEC East by losing to a SC team we should have beaten, and then lost out on the Sugar Bowl by losing to Vandy, then followed that up by 0-8 in the league last year. I don't think you fully understand what that meant, and the fallout from it.

We were the laughing stock of ALL of college football for 3+ yrs, and picked by many to be the worst team in the league AGAIN this year; yet, just last week, our HC was being seriously talked about for COY in the conference, after pulling off yet ANOTHER upset. Yes, the absolute smell of failure. 🙄

Pruitt already has 2 signature wins in his first 11 games...the likes of that hasn't been seen around here in decades. He has gotten every last ounce of what this team has in them, and he has done it against the absolute toughest schedule in college football. The teams that have beaten us this year has a combined record of 50-14; the teams we've beaten are 28-27, and before you think, 'big deal'...well, it is a big deal, considering the year before, the 4 teams we managed to beat we're a combined 17-30, and we should have never beaten GT.

Which brings us to Vandy, probably the better team; AFTER the gauntlet we have just ran (5 of the 6 teams that have beaten us are in the top 25, and Mizzou should be; 4 of the 6 are in the top 13; yet, here we are, 1 win away from finishing .500, and going to a bowl); AFTER losing our 2 best OLmen, and having to start 3 OLmen who weigh less than 300lbs...IN THE SEC! And this just the little bit I felt like wasting my time and typing; I have failed to mention all the countless and countless other things that has been a success and bolds well for the future.

Again, if we lose, yes, a disappointment; but, are you truly foolish enough to call it a failure?

I think you're putting a very homeristic spin on this.

That's what good leadership at the top gets you. The Tennessee and Oklahoma programs are very similar from a standpoint of what they're capable of. Only difference is leadership IMO.

Bob Stoops left OU in a great position. Retired while he was still on top. All Riley has to do is not mess it up. Would have been like Fulmer stepping down after 2007 and handing the keys to Cut. We would still be rolling.

Yes I guess I am fool then since you are going to call names. I think you might need to call others that to since they have said the same.


Damn right it would be a failure

Damn right, I stand by what I said. Now go back to trying to figure out what play changed the other night's game, since you kept changing and moving your stance on that, after your initial proclamation was met with a chrous of boo's and vegetable throwing.

Bruin, one of two things, man...either you know Jack sh*t about anything, or...well, imo, that's just it. And again, damn right, I stand by that, as well.

Thoughts on Pruitt’s first 11 months?

I think it's been really solid/good. He's establishing his standards and his way of doing things. I think this team has gotten better. I think their weaknesses have been exposed alot. But guys are improving. Recruiting is going well. I think there's alot to be excited about for thefuture.

Not really. See my post above. Played five teams that finished in the top 10.

I said it was debatable. 4 could very well finish in top 10 this year, with Bama winning it all. They lost 2 games in '13.
