we know about all the issues but then you look at all the talent, potential, coaching and experience and you want to get on that championship horse and ride, baby!

hard to stay realistic thinking 10-2. we've got a chance.

Lol. Take a breath, buddy. God bless you. I never saw 2019 going 15-0. My regular season guess is 9-3 and I'm a pretty cautious soul. What I've seen in life and the Bible says, "Pride comes before the fall.. " so you beat FSU don't think you're Goliath. As Coach Bill Arnsbarger used to preach, stay even keeled, play smart, fast and be unrelenting...

This team still has holes both in the starting lineup and depthwise before we can start talking about seriously challenging. We could play well and go 9-3 just because of a few bad breaks here and there.

Its come a hell of a long way in 18 months though.

Never believe hype in sports. Then your expectations can only be exceeded if the hype turns out to be valid.

I don’t get this. You are a fan. Be overpumped and overconfident of your team if you want. There is nothing wrong with that.

Las Vegas predicting FSU by around 70%. I’m pumped because the football is finally back. I too see 9-3. But there’s never any sure way to pick, and too many variables as the game and season progresses. But like all Tiger fans, I want to win. I think I speak for many when I say that the program seems to be light years ahead of where it was for the last ten years, even with the NC in 2019. It seems like the coaches are building sustainability, which we’ve all been wanting. Can’t wait to get this season started, Go Tigers!

Like most years since 2003, I’m hopefully optimistic. 2019 swag didn’t start till after we handled bama the way we did.

I’ve actually become less optimistic since practice started hearing about how bad the defense has been getting torched. I know it’s still early and hopefully it’s just our offense is that good, but the scona said the DBs haven’t been remotely competitive with our recievers and indicated the fight was because the defense was frustrated from getting their asses kicked

for sure. we’ve lost at least 3 games 10/11 years with 2019 being the only outlier. Realistically a 10-2 record is not the doom and gloom OP makes it out to be.

We could’ve played for a NC last year if we beat A&M and finished 10-2. The SECCG would’ve been a QF matchup for us against #1 UGA.

Lol, Burrow was saying they were going to score 40 or 50 per game before the season even started.

7 in 11 full seasons. Would have had 1 more except for a cancelled game vs McNeese.

I looked back because it's what I do

10 plus win seasons LSU has 17 10 plus winning seasons. Miles has 7, Saban and Orgeron each have 2. Kelly is 1 for 1 so far. Miles is one of 3 coaches with 11 or more wins in a season and the only one with multiple 11+ (5) and 12+ (2). Yes, he was frustrating but he also won.
