Love it being under the radar. Coaching is easier. I hope we are 14-0 going into the natty, ranked 23rd in the nation.
I really don't get the love for KY. They have not had a winning SEC record in something like 30 years. We absolutely thrashed their defense last year. Yes they're returning a lot of players but so what? They're the same terrible players we beat to sleep last year. KY will not finish ahead of us. They will finish 6th, just ahead of Mizzou.
Butch wouldn't let that happen.
I know from things in the past you are a good person. But your obsession of being negative about everything with our coach makes you petty and boarders on ridiculous. It gives little credibility to anything else you contribute. Basically makes you come across as a miserable fan. How can you even enjoy watching a Butch led team? Because of your past very good deeds with RR, I have not written anything or ignored you but is time to do so until Jones is gone one way or another.
a lot of these predictions have to do with schedule. KY gets us at home, and they're west slate is, um, a lot easier than ours.
if you pick TN 3rd, you're at least thinking they lose to Bama, FL and GA....win the rest possibly.
if you look at KY...they get us at home, have the GA / FL game, likely losses, and the only thing that would require them finishing ahead of us is really to win 1 of those three, and beat the rest of their SEC schedule, which is doable....5-3 for KY w/losses to TN, FL and GA could still beat us out with a 4-4 record, even beating KY....(Bama, GA, FL, LSU all being losses).
if KY wins 1 of those three, they could be staring 6-2 in the face, and be a solid 3rd, tie for 2nd.
so, they're schedule for all intents and purposes is really about 1 of 3 games, if you think KY is better than USCe, Vandy, MO, MSU and Ole Miss.
to me...more about the math and schedule than anything.
