...at your pre-season predictions. IMHO, we're right where I thought we'd be, with the exception of the Vandy loss. Hey, at least we didn't loose the crystal trophy like them red elephants! GBO, get to 'crutin' and look out! Glad to be a member with all the rest of you crazies! VOL TIL I DIE.

I'll man up and say i expected 6 wins or 7 with a break. Unfortunately we got the break and choked but so it goes. Can't wait till next year. GBO!

I had em 7-5. Had no idea that 2 teams I figured we'd beat, Mizzou and Auburn, may likely be playing in the SEC CG. And of course, I didn't figure UT losing to vaginabilt.

Hate that season's already over but excited for what's to come in 2014. Can't get here soon enough.

I had us winning one of Vandy or Mizzou finishing 5-7. Never expected USC win.

I thought we would for sure make a bowl game, but I had no idea Mizzou and Auburn were going to be top 5 in the country.

Just came up a little bit short IMO. After October 19th, I thought UT would be playing in LP Field in late December.

Today, it was proven that we did NOT have comparable talent to AU or Mizzou. We finished about where we should have with the exception of the Vandy game IMO.

I had us at 7-5 but adjusted to 6-6 after seeing how improved MO and AU were. I did not think we would lose to Vandy.

My preseason prediction record wise is pretty much spot on. I said we'd win one we shouldn't, lose one we shouldn't and we'd do great to get a bowl game. we came up one game short.

That doesn't matter though. I'm not upset about not making a bowl. My beef is about how unprepared and unmotivated we played the last half of the season. This place needs to quit putting so much emphasis on just wins and losses. There's more involved than just that when you're trying to improve.

I don't know why people thought Mizzou was so talentless after they kept winning. I saw a stat that they were third in the SEC in draft picks since 2008. Gary Pinkel finds talent.

A bowl game would have been a pleasant surprise. I wasn't expecting fireworks out of our offense, but I wasn't expecting a complete collapse without a healthy Worley. Next year will be interesting once we see a reloaded WR corps, a healthy QB corps, an immediate upgrade at TE and a potential true freshman starting at RB. Now bring on signing day!

Just goes to show recruiting rankings don't always tell the whole story, I don't think Mizzou has had even a top 20 class in years

I think mine was 7-5 but then I changed to 6-6 and we ended up 5-7.

Brighter days are ahead.

Can't wait until NSD!

Special teams killed Alabama tonight.

3 missed field goals by one kicker.

A partially blocked punt by the punter.

1 missed field goal by a red shirt freshman kicker.

Several missed tackles by the special teams players on the last play of the game.


Does Saban fire his special teams coach????

I figured 7 wins including Vandy and mizz. Who knew mizz would do what they have. Also said maybe 8 wins including auburn.


Man I'm smart.

Yep I said 7-5 or 8-4. However no one thought Auburn, Mizzouri, Vandy, GA, USCjr., Oregon, BAMA, Gators,
etc... were going to be as good as expected. If we flip the schedule and play Gators, and GA at the end of the season record is much different.
Team #118 starts now. Finish off a great recruiting class and start building for 2015/16!

GOVOLS!
