Is it just me or does this year feel eerily similar to 2024 (Wouldn’t be a bad thing)

I think everyone needs to be prepared to be thought of as a bottom 1/3 SEC team entering this preseason . All the media outlets are going to downplay us . Everyone will concentrate on Texas and Arch as a top 3 team, Lane and LSU, the Gators new coach, aTm getting back to the CFP, UGA going Grand Theft Auto . We will be an afterthought, and I absolutely love it.

We all know how that’s going to be received. That’s why I said “be prepared”. Our fan base gets real pissy if we’re not talked about or if others get some more notoriety that we think we should get . Everyone is going to look at our schedule, they’re going to see that we lost 3 home games last year and that we’re staring at 7-5 or 8-4 again. I don’t see it that way. Heupel has built enough equity with me to expect that we will have good QB play and that we will maximize our capabilities on offense. I think the fact that he went out and made some big changes to the staff tells us a lot about his willingness to adapt. He knows this is a big year, I think he loves the challenge of being an underdog and I think it’s good that we can get our feet wet with a couple of small schools and a pretty good GT team who will be missing their biggest piece from last season. We’ll be underdogs when Texas comes to Neyland, but I think we’ll be ready to go.

A big difference is there's a good chance we're unranked coming into the year because of so many unknowns. The ranking will take care of itself though if we can pull off some upsets (Texas, LSU, A&M, Bama). I have no idea what to expect this year but I'm looking forward to it! Could be another 8-9 win deal where everyone looks forward to "next year" or we catch lightning in a bottle ala 2022.

Is it just me or does this year feel eerily similar to 2024 (also please add 2010, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 24)​


Same ol' feeling year after year. Different year, same butterflies.

Week 1: SEC cupcake, QB on their first start
Week 2: ACC team with hopes of challenging for the title
Week 3: Cupcake
Week 4: Former Big 12 team with a bunch of storylines in this game
Week 6: road game vs Arkansas???

Week 1 It wasn't Nicos first Start. He started the bowl game in 2023 and finished the year with more than 70 snaps. GMac has about 10 in deep garbagetime.
Week 2 Tech is no where near a title contender for the ACC this year. But they do seem very similar to the fools gold NC state was.
Week 4 2026 Texas and 2024 Oklahoma are not even in the same genus of animal.
Week 6 totally different Arkansas than we saw in 24

I see no parallels between this team and that one. Especially not the schedule 2024 we had a really friendly one. 26 is H-ll on wheels. We have 2 cupcake games. Our homecoming game is VS an SEC foe. All the normally weak SEC foes we face, except for Kentucky and maybe Vandy are likely to be a lot better than normal. Auburn and Arkansas will have good teams.

IF you squint really hard and tilt your head in the dark while super drunk, I can see how you'd mix up Uma Thurman and Maria Carey...but the lights are on and we are sober man.
