It is astonishing how you manage to articulate such profound ignorance with the confidence of one who believes they possess erudition; your attempts at intellectual discourse are akin to a baboon attempting to play a Stradivarius. One can only marvel at the chutzpah required to masquerade as a paragon of sagacity whilst spewing drivel that barely reaches the ankle of mediocrity.

Maybe you can understand this better ^
Should have stopped while you were ahead. Polls have predictive value or there'd be no reason for them. It's just informed and hopefully unbiased prediction based on a survey and aggregation of data collected. So after your breakfast poll, you could accurately predict what your two neighbors were going to choose btw the options, and also which option was the most popular (or if they tied).
This wasn't a poll this was one guys opinion. Just like I have one and everyone else has one. A poll would've had a little more value and been a little more unbiased. Either way I can only accept either when the data of rosters and schedules seem to back it up. This list does not do that except that almost all will agree with the top three. Even then one of that top three is going to suffer with at least 3 to 4 losses just for the fact that they play each other giving another team with a lighter schedule a chance to move into one of those spots. I can see Tennessee with 10 to 12 conference wins. I can't see less than 9 so that alone says were not finishing 10th. If we actually finish tenth would have to be in the 7 and 9 range wins and losses. If that happens this team will be a total failure as there are easily 9 teams on there that we should beat and three where we should win and another one that is a tossup. Only three look to be games where we will be a huge underdog.
it's a bad look for one fan to have one opinion that differs from the vast majority,,,Jon!
In polling like other surveys, there is also the GIGO principle-- garbage in, garbage out. I think this poll was just one person making a guess so a lot of garbage in but it is apparently generating clicks and debate on the out. I only got into this covo with the aptly named JohnnyPain, err Payne, because he coupled it with the statement-- "it looks like a lot of people are unimpressed with this coaching hire." It is not clear that this up "poll", which in this case really seems to be a pull it out of your backside prediction, supports that claim.
Unlike Johhny P, you are both intelligent and open to reasonable discourse. We may end up agreeing or not, but there will be a civil exchange of ideas and information. I stated way upthread that polls may or may not have predictive value. Let's continue with the breakfast preferences example to show possible outcomes. (1) Those polled will have the choice of either item for their next breakfast. The predictive value is obvious. (2) The sample to be polled are youngsters in an Andean nation where sea anemone is a delicacy served with dinner. Liver and onion is unknown to nearly 100% of the residents. Predictive value is low. (3) those polled are incarcerated and have no say about what will be offered at mealtimes. Predictive value is nil.
Your first paragraph has been my point for the last month. It’ll be a bad look if our program goes down immediately after firing/ hiring.
Agree with paragraphs 2 and 3!
Well recognizing that there is a chance that the LVs could have a a bad season (particularly with the loss of Rickea) is a function of the uncertainty that is part of sports. Even if White had hired Gottlieb or some other name coach, that contingency would still be in place, The difference is that a coach with an established record would have a one season grace period, if things went poorly out of the gate.
Great that you're free to ignore or scroll past. That usually works better than telling others what not to post.
I don't think anyone ever said the 94 foot twitter post was anything but that site's prediction. No polling data was included. We got off on a poll vs prediction discussion and that apparently confused the issue. In a few months or so, an SEC coaches' poll and sportswriters poll will come out and those will be alot more accurate assessments. They will probably have the LVs a few positions higher, like 6th or so.
I am with you because I am tired of individuals trying to come up with reasons why CKC can’t be successful. First of all she hired good and experienced coaches. She also killed it in the portal. Now we need to sat back and see if she can pull it all together. As fans we need to show CKC that we have her back. We need to quit worryingw and let history prove itself. I believe that CKC has this so lets sat back and see what happens.
