Really, we are favored to beat a Ranked Team?

Sounds like we are setting ourselves up for an epic fail on national tv saturday, yes we have an offense but can they have a bad game and still get the W? Also our defense is not that great especially in the red zone, gosh how i hope we can win saturday but my biggest fear is we won't. i would prefer we beat missouri than vanderbilt to get to a bowl. we need to beat a top 25 team and this is our last chance. Everyone is counting the chickens before they hatch. we have made progress with two decent wins but we are not over the hump yet, this game will determine that though. Go VOLS!! Pull off the miracle saturday night! The media and the entire world is trying hard to jinx us so we lose saturday why else would they favor us over a ranked team? Randolph is the key to the back end, his dumb hit may have cost us this game.
I hope i am 100% wrong and we annihalte missouri by 50 points.

(P.S. this is me just speaking how i really feel and i am sure most on volnation feel this way but won't admit it losing the big games is something we continue to do, hopefully it stops this saturday night. if it don't i don't think it's ok and it will show a lack in coaching at the very least. )

So if they don't favor us they hate us, and if they do favor us it's a conspiracy? Really..

Good grief! What ever happened to having confidence? You can bet your sweet a$$ those players and coaches are confident they gonna win, so why can't our fans?!

I think it's also quite a bit of a "everyone's expecting Missouri to lose at least one more game before the season's over, it's just a matter of which one" thing too.

i am optimistic we have not won a big game vs a ranked opponent besides south carolina in many, many years. gotta be cautious because disappoint has followed us for years....

Our team is playing the most complete it has in years and you say we can't beat MIZZOU? Win or lose at least support your Damn team.

Save your negavol comments in case we do lose, lord knows thousands are.

No, you are being overly dramatic. Beating Missouri would not be a "miracle" and acting like Randolph is the key to the defense is pretty absurd. Losing Cam or AJ yes, but TKjr will fill in Randolph's position just fine.

this team has worked to hard to get rid of that type of mindset, they know how to win.. I dont expect any fall off from this team. :crossfingers:
