re: Football expectations for this season?

The last game against Texas will decide if we make the playoff or not.

I love it when people make record predictions and they don’t even know who is on the schedule lol

4 tough games we could win

3/4 are at home

I expect to make the playoffs.

It's year 3. He has 100 million dollar contract. It's a 12 team playoff. We need to be dancing.

We better make the playoff! I think we go 9-3 but the optimist in me says 10-2. As I’ve said before I can’t predict a W vs USC until I actually see us come out and play well week 1 but a win should certainly be expected. We always play like shite against Arky and @ A&M so even though I think we should beat both of those teams I think we drop one there. Finally, Ole Miss is the one game that I really hope we win this season if nothing else. I’m still pissed about that game last year, but I think we will split between them and Bama. All I have to say is I can’t wait to tailgate and be in TS with all you baws.

Undefeated
Unscored upon
Punter only on field once for a fake punt against Florida (done on third down cause we never have a fourth down)
Defense give up one first down all year (by penalty)

Wow, that is one hell of a speculation. What are we missing?

I don’t. But next year we absolutely should be. Next year we should be a top 6 seed AT LEAST. I’ll temper expectations and be satisfied with 9-3 or 10-2.


But I just don’t see, as long as we beat USC, how we don’t go at least 10-2. Bama and Ole Miss will be tough games but I think Baker will have the D in good shape by the time the Rebels roll in. I think we beat USC and one of Ole Miss/Bama and drop a game we shouldn’t like OU/A&M/Florida and end up 10-2

Gonna be a tough year if the defense isn't massively improved.

I have faith the staff will make it happen.....9-3 at best

He wasn't planning to have to fire his entire defensive staff, lose a safety to brain cancer, whiff on all db's they brought in last year, lose both DT's, have Perkins fail at ILB, fail at DE and have no solutions, and then monumentally miss in the portal for defensive linemen.
I feel that we have a chance to be very good on offense. Special teams should be good, if not better. But the defense is behind the 8 ball. It's going to take a fantastic coaching job in order to pull off 10 wins with this personnel.
Aside from Perkins (and probably Weeks) tell me where the defensive production comes from. Penn, Guillory, Burns and Ryan have proven to be significant liabilities. We've all seen them fail time and time again. They are not SEC caliber players.

I have no faith in any cornerback that I saw last year. Maybe there's someone waiting in the wings, but what I saw in the spring did not look good.

I like Savion Jones and Paris Shand, but they seemed to slow to play the position last season. Ole Miss made a mockery of them. They've said over and over that they don't have the defensive linemen that they need.

I don't mean to be negative. Usually, I spend this time of year tallying all of the wins we are going to ring up. But I'm trying not to build things up too high. I think we are going to lose 3 that we shouldn't, and probably pull an upset. I'm terrified of week 1 vs USC in Vegas. We have been terrible in openers for the last 4 seasons. I hope that changes, but I'm not expecting it.

Oldretard didn’t stop at suggesting LSU isn’t the biggest benefactor in the entire ncaa with the transfer portal


“9-3 AT BEST”…my goodness, another hot take by oldretard lmao
