Did butch sniff the playoffs or 10 wins? We've already seen

Once everything happened with Nico, and Joey transferred in, I don’t think anyone would have scoffed at the projection of an 8-4 year.

It was only after the hot start and the
to-the-wire Georgia game that we thought of the possibility of something more.

Honestly, I think what stings the most is the feeling that we let ourselves be tricked and get too hopeful by the start of the season, rather than the actual end result.

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

TBF-most expected an 8-4 or 9-3 type season after the events of April.

Espn had us at 8.5 wins.

We were basically exactly what we were thought going into the season. Perhaps a bit better on the offensive side.

Like I said in another post, the Gilbert missed kick cooked our season before it really started. To go from that basic chip shot to a loss was too big a swing-for the fans and the team.

Much different than 2016 when we were viewed as a dark horse playoff team (when it was still 4 teams)

Take a breath.

We need to smoke some slow and over rated B10 team in the bowl and then regroup.

Get out issues on D resolved and get a bit of attitude


If those two things don't happen this offseason-I agree we are in trouble

We are not winning a bowl if we play a Top 25 team.

since when has the 10 win season become the end all be all?

how many more SECCGs has Heupel been to than Jones? how many more SEC titles? how many playoff wins? how many wins over Georgia?

how many 10 win seasons did Brian Kelly have at LSU? what did it get him?

Given where we’ve been, 10 win season should be appreciated. By all means, let’s go back to the 5-win seasons.

I still get a little sick when I think about that kick. Shake it off, most important play is the next one and all that stuff, but man that was demoralizing.

ESPN and other so called experts had LSU and Clemson in the top 10, South Carolina top 15, Arizona State and Florida ahead of us, Texas at number 1, and PSU at number 4.. Please stop referencing their nonsense.

how about let's go forwards instead

So Kiffin is also like Butch Jones right?

Sniff? Well he got nine wins twice and lost some very close ones in there that if we’d have won probably would have had us in the playoff discussion under the current format, so yes?
