I know we have some tough away games left, but I think this team has the mental toughness and fortitude to win out this season. Plus, we have gotten some defensive players back to make us even better.
We had jawja beat, 1 score in the 2nd qt or making the field goal at the end and the games over in regulation. Coach froze our kicker or he hits that 3 points. Someone should’ve took him aside and slapped him before he went out on the field for the kick.
MS game should not have been close, they had 1 75 yard drive for a touchdown, all other scores were on short fields because of interceptions. We had a missed catch with touchdown written all over it and a BS OPI that was a touchdown.
I am worried some about the gump game but I think we take them, sure they beat Georgia, but Georgia just did not look like they were ready to play.

I am with you but MSU game showed if we have a few big breaks go against us we could definitely lose games vs UF, OU, Bama and maybe even Vandy and Arkansas. UK and New Mexico St look like the only easy games from here on out. I DO agree this team has a togetherness and toughness that we have lacked in years past and think we end up 10-2.

Ok sunshine pumper.

I expect the two teams in Atlanta to have at least two losses. League is tough and next year it will be brutal

I can certainly see your argument. However, I view the MSU game as this year's team can have several critical plays go against them and still find a way to gut out a win on the road. Now, granted, I undoubtedly prefer that we don't put that to the test any more this year.

We could run the table, or we could lose 3 or 4 more. I predict it will be somewhere in the middle. With the defense near the bottom of the league it only takes a few turnovers, penalties or big plays given up and we lose. You saw that in the Miss. State game, as it took OT to beat a team we should have beaten by at least 14. Hopefully we get several defensive starters back playing close to 100% and our opponent scoring drops significant. If not, I see 1 or 2 more losses.

All I know is that after the shite show against theOSU, my BVS told me this season was going to be a dumpster fire, but low and behold Nico is history and Joey has delivered the Sun and it is shining on VolNation. I am still amazed at how well the offense is playing starting with Joey. Shocked at how few penalties we have. The Oline is playing great, Star Thomas has been a revelation and the WRs and TEs are balling out. From my vantage point this team seems to be playing discplined and smart team football. My BVS tells me there is a lot of football still to play and things could go south, but the Sun is definitely out and bright. GBO.

I have a pair of those, and a pair of the inverted color scheme, and I hoard them like a fat guy hoarding the chicken wing tray at Golden Corral. They're not sturdy enough to really last regular use, but they're so damn cool when you're out for a game.

I keep waiting for them to do another run - and they never do. It's quite annoying. Super annoying actually. I know they said "Limited Edition" but come on, do _another_ run of them already. If I had known they'd never make any more I would have bought multiple pairs.

Oh - also - for OP - 100% sunshine pump.

One of the following will advance to SEC title game with only one SEC loss, imo:

Ole Miss, Texas, Bama, UGA, LSU, aTm

Call me a negavol if you will, but we don’t have the defense to win out.

Unless I see otherwise in the coming weeks, I see this as a 3-4 loss team. Surely hope I’m wrong.

I think we have a better chance of losing at least 2 more games than winning them all. We could be 2-0 or 0-2 in conference play already, nobody knows but I would be shocked if we won out. I will stick with 9-3, possible 8-4.
