The gauntlet is over

I don’t think we can win all five but should get three of them. SC and MO will be tough but the other three are definitely winnable.

The Auburn win was freaking huge. Built hope and showed improvement. If we go bowling after how we started then I’d be ecstatic. FWIW the Candy game is my birthday and I’d love to go to West End and see us stomp their ass.

I think a lot rides on usc....how do they respond? After being called out? If they go into Columbia and win I have faith they will win the rest of the games and go 8-4. If they go and lay a egg and let bama beat them twice, I think they fold and finish 5-7 beating only Candy.

Mizzou is the only team that scares me. They can hang 60 or they could put outba dud. Pruitt ain’t losing to these chumps.

6-6 has to be the floor. We desperately need a bowl game, extra practices, and obvious progress so we can bring in a great recruiting class and build for next season. Anything less than that will be a huge disappointment when you look at our remaining schedule.

What we have going for ourselves is that we improve each week. The schedule is now more manageable, and Chryst will hopefully be our q b for the remainder of the season
With good coaching and if the players give their best each game, we will win out and go 8 - 4

I see gamecocks and Vandy as winnable. Kentucky is a well coached team in an established system so it’s 50/50. Combine that with what we’ve already done and we’re ahead of the skeptics

Hell we go 8-4 and win a bowl to finish 9-4 OMG we would be top 15 easy going into next year. That would be exciting. Let’s be cautiously optimistic here and hope no more major injuries and if this team stays tough in their mindset 8-4 is definitely doable!!! GBO!!!!

I think you are right. USC game has been a one possession game the last 5-7 years no matter who is ranked or sucks. We can win that game and Candy uk and mizzou scare me.

One bright note for today,Ohho State just got their butt waxed by Purdue 49-20.So much for the Cryer.Another note,Devin White,the LSU sterling linebacker,was ejected for targetting in the second half, meaning he will miss the first half ,I believe,of the Alabama game.Just like Bituli.Hmmm.

I was surprised at the low amount of injuries we’ve had so far, of course that could change tomorrow. Something must be working in that department. Still optimistic about getting to a bowl game:

Little stronger. Pruitt mentioned when he got here guys didnt known how to hit, fall, practice, and protest themselves to prevent injuries. So far it looks like he knows what he was talking about in that department. Maybe among others

I’ve always been in the optimistic group, but anyone can see the improvement that is going on this in this team, is it where we want to be? no. It will come with patience. I’m still surprised at the last low amount of injuries we’ve had at this point in the schedule. I grow more confident in Pruitt, game by game. Wait, does this make me a sunshine pumping fan, lol

The football gods wanted to jab us one more time in this decade of darkness by giving a first year coach the toughest 4-game stretch for any team in football history.

It’s over now and 8-4 is still on the table.

Get excited for the rest of the season, every game we have left is winnable.

GBO, no matter what.

Every game is winnable, but we will have to play better than we sometimes do to beat any of the sec teams. Can we? Sure. Will we? To be determined

Haha. That made me laugh pretty good. I guess because I feel the same way. Finally, we have a coach and AD we can be confident in to at least turn this ship in the right direction. Geez, only took 10yrs[/QUOTE

I know, you can be on deck or down below, it’s every fan’s choice. Me, I’m topside.

This team will be challenged in every SEC game for the rest of this year and all of next. KY and Vandy are still uphill battles at this point.

It's an infinity gauntlet for the foreseeable future.

I just leveled up my nerd points with this post 🤓

LMAO if Pruitt's first year of the rebuild equaled Butch's best year.
Then Pruitt talks about 9-4 not being acceptable if you don't play for championships.

It won't happen but 9-4 would surpass all my expectations.

Someone else already said it but South Carolina is huge for our teams confidence. Beat them and we maybe carry that momentum and beat Kentucky or Missouri also to finish 7-5.

I think we beat Candy and of course Charlotte. Lose to South Carolina though and I could see an ugly 5-7 final record.
Beat South Carolina and I could see 7-5.

I have too much Battered Vol Syndrome to realistically see 8-4 or rebounding from a USCe loss to finish 6-6.

We beat mediocre AU team and you all of a sudden forget we've been beaten by at least 26 points in every other game? The rest of the games are closer to AU than Bama for sure but you are trolling your damn self if you think we are winning out. Delusional.

Keep fooling yourselves over and over again that "Tennessee is back" without sustained proof. I am excited based on what Pruitt has shown for the future but this team we have right now is not good/consistent enough to win out. We make too many unforced errors. We got trounced yesterday and somehow I'm crazy for being realistic.

I've never said we're back there hoss. I'm not saying we will win out, but we have a decent chance in every game.
