Do you take or leave 10-2 this year?

That was my call pre-season and while it looked rough for a while, it looks like it will probably happen.

i thought we would lose to bama and one of the three tough ones in october.


looking at the way a coll fb season flows, i think it's hard to deny that LSU has a loss coming in the next 2 1/2 wks.

i think we either beat bama and suffer letdown vs state (we never play well post bama) or lose to bama and come out focused against state. and yes, i know, the bulldogs are our bitches.

I don't see how LSU could lose more than two games in the regular season, so I don't know why you'd take it. Who else would beat them besides Alabama?

I can see 10-2 happening...But I really think 11-1 then 13-1 happening.

Take, because we as fans can't do a damn thing about it. Leave, because I can not stomach another fricking loss to Bama.

14-0 or the season is a bust. I refuse to accept the mediocrity of a 13-1 or 11-2 season.

Leave it.

What's particularly hilarious is that the posters who crowed about 2012 being "our year" and predicted that we would finish undefeated will be the exact same posters who will be quickest to shout down any dissatisfaction with 10-2/9-3 and ardently claim that such a record is a "great season."

(I realize this doesn't apply to the OP.)

As we have to beat Bama to have any chance to play 13, 10-2 isn't that big of a stretch - 11-2 would imply we lose the SEC-CG. 10-2 means we might be in the CapOne. I'm not going to upset if it ends up 10-2, but I want to get through the next game before I "take" or "leave" 10-2 (The difference between 10-2 and 11-2 is Bama - the difference between 10-2 and 12-1 is Bama+winning the SEC-CG).

I am not assuming away the games against the Mississippi schools and Arky - they are all significant for different reasons. However, for all practical purposes - regardless of what happened in Gainesville - this has boiled down to a 1-game season. That was true on January 10, it was true during Spring ball, Summer workouts, August camp,etc. and it remains true right now.

I thought at the start of the season 10-2 but we will be lucky to end it at 9-3

That is what I said last year, but hoped for better this year. 10-2 is about right.

I'll be thrilled with 10-2.

Does that mean Cap 1 bowl again?

lol You take 10-2 EVERY year. It's so obvious nobody in here remembers the Hallman/DiNardo eras.

I predicted 11-1 when we had Honey Badger and before seeing our O-line get decimated by injuries. I could live with 10-2 if we won our bowl game (preferably a nice one).

Last year we beat Bama 9-6 and then beat Western Kentucky 42-9 the next week and then beat Ole Miss 52-3 the following week.

In 2010 we beat Bama 24-21 and then beat ULM 51-0 the next week.

Sometimes I wonder how people come up with their assumptions.

who knows? if we jell we could run the table. i reallly doubt bama has the fight in 'em to repeat. they have had a relatively easy schedule so far and still have msu, lsu, a&m to go. they have drawn a bye, the lucky bastards, in the east. so i'm gonna say if we beat bama, we meet florida in atlanta with a different result.

but 10-2 will not disappoint me; not with the rebuiding we are undergoing due to graduation, academics, suspensions personal problems and key injuries.
