If you're honest you will acknowledge that we pretty easily could have dropped 2 more and gone 8-4.
I think I was pretty close on my predictions of not just the record but the overall ability of this team. I said we should go anywhere from 8-10 wins and that we had several easily identifiable potential weaknesses and thin spots on the roster.
I basically said we were a good to very good team with weaknesses.
Unlike the Idiot Margin..if we had only won 8, I would have been disappointed, but I would not be toxic and screaming to tear it all apart.
I don't know what you would have done...I will not assume that you would be among those morons....the same toxic morons that are constantly bitching despite the fact that this staff extracted about everything they could out of this roster.
I think it is remarkable that despite the small margin for error the staff had with this roster, that we were a running into the kicker penalty from being 11-1....and we wouldn't have been playing the best team in the country at their place in the first round if that had happened.
I am proud of our team and grateful to our staff for this season.
We ended exactly what I called. I said i expected 10-2 and the playoff. I've been wrong many times; but, this season played out just like I thought it would. I figured we'd beat Bama, UGA would beat us in Athens, and we'd get bit by an Oklahoma, Florida, or an Arkansas.
Then we ran into a juggernaut in the playoff, a game we should have never been playing in. I felt down as hell after the OSU game (not crazy, like half the dumbsh!ts in here); but, after seeing them hit on all cylinders against Oregon, and then beat Texas without playing their best, i still feel like sh!t because we lost, and lost big; but, NO ONE was beating OSU. The silver lining of that game, is it showed us how far we've come, and how much further we have to go...to be truly elite.
Being honest, 8-4 never once crossed my mind. And, as I said...while, no, I wouldnt have melted down to the point of making a fool of myself if we had gone 8-4, I definitely would have been disappointed, as i said i would, wondering wtf happened. I truly believe we're beyond 8-4 seasons now...our QB talent alone gives me confidence in that.
McGill, there's ALWAYS going to be idiots, in all walks of life...you know this. And, while I still call them out every once in awhile (who doesnt like a good dust-up every now and then??)...ive learned to ignore them for the most part. I mean seriously... why would I pay any attention, at all, to people that still talk about Derek Dooley and Butch Jones every other post, while wanting to fire half the people responsible for the miracle that's been worked in just 4 years. Imo, entertaining such nonsense makes me a bigger idiot than them.
