A two-TD win is not good enough for you? Anyone who keeps up with college football knows that on any given night......... Nebraska was, and should have been, geeked to be there. We'd just come off an emotional close game with Bama. Think the Dawgs were geeked to be playing Nebraska?:blink: I'm pretty happy with the results.

Uga wasted its best chance to beat bama. Dawgs were on the rise during the last half of the season. Bama had spotted aTm 20 points and still nearly won the game after an emotional win with lsu. Bama peaked earlier in the year and has to play much better to beat notre dame. Nebraska also peaked earlier in the year as evidenced by the beat down they got from Wisconsin who only won like 7 games all year long. Uga gave up 18 straight points to the cornhuskers and had to rally to pull it out in the end. Uga got a much bigger scare than you are saying. The game was much closer than the score. Uga hasnt won a NC in over 30 years and havent really been close. Uga only won that one because of Herschel Walker.

I really think we deserved the Sugar. And it would have been a much better game with a UGA/L'ville matchup. Florida didn't look like they wanted to be there. Muschamp's seat is pretty darn warm right now. He might be a DC again soon. If Grantham takes a HC position, CWM might end up back at his alma mater!

On the hot seat after taking them to a BCS bowl in his second year? Lol I doubt it man.

The bowl season is telling me that the 1) SEC is weakening or 2) the rest of the country is starting to catch up.

Florida lost to Louisville ... unbelievable.

Mississippi State lost to a Little 10 team ... shocking.

South Carolina wins in the last 11 seconds.

Georgia struggles to win against a Nebraska team that lost to a 8-6 Wisky team.

LSU loses to the ACC.

I think Alabama may be in trouble against Notre Dame based upon the bowl season results thus far. My bet is ND wins a close one.

Go Vols and Go SEC !!!

..It's that the SEC is wide open next year.. I'm not saying we're some kinda contender, but I'm saying there isn't many teams that particularly scare me.. Not Georgia, not Florida, not Auburn, South Carolina in Neyland? Vandy in Neyland?

I'm starting to think that we can pull a few W's and put together a decent season next year.

Outside of Bama, who do we play that you would go into the game thinking we don't have a shot at?

It all comes down to who feels disrespected, and who is over confident.

No UT and UG were both 10-2 before sec champ game. My point earlier was the loser of the sec champ game shouldn't be penalized for losing just because we played an extra game

Too much emphasis on recruiting and not enough on coaching. Lessor conferences have to coach up the talent they have, and don't have entire teams of 4 and 5 star players.

To the extent that star rankings are based at least partially on past performance, and past performance is probably equally a measure of raw talent and coaching in high school, the system doesn't do as good a job evaluating the potential of talented, yet under-coached, kids from programs that aren't top ranked. To suggest that the kids from Florida or Texas or Ohio are more talented than kids from states not deemed to be 'quality' is really kinda silly. Talent is genetics. Performance is talent plus coaching. You can't teach speed or size, but you can take a fast talented under-coached kid that is willing to learn and work hard and teach him technique.

I would say that with the SEC, and a few notables outside the SEC, sucking up the top ranked players, the rest of the world has had to become better at identifying talented kids that simply haven't had the benefit of being coached well. The end being that the SEC is good due to being the cream, without requiring coaches to actually be good at...well...coaching, while the rest of the world has had to learn to actually develop talent.

And suddenly UL is making UF their girlfriend, and everyone is standing around scratching their heads...

Did you just say Muschamp's seat is pretty warm right now? Dude, they just won 11 games in a year when that was not expected. Muschamp is sitting on a block of ice imo.

It's not like UT got hammered against UF (I know the final score and for the life of me have no idea why the team quit), UGA, Miss St., USC, & Mizzou.

Just a hint of D and UT wins a few of those games. IMO, it has to do with attitude. Hopefully Jones can fire them up to want to win.

Lol, we can't beat any of these teams...

False expectations again...I fell for that trap after we beat NCst.

Never. Again.

What SEC All Conference type players will The Gators lose this season 99?


There are a lot of teams that with graduating and players leaving that id worry about in the SEC if I were a fan of them. Alabama, Florida, Georgia, SC, and LSU I don't think will hurt as bad losing their starters due to depth. Tennessee on the other hand losing nearly every significant playmaker on offense scares me. The defense has no where to go but up.... missing a bowl will be dissapointing, but it will not suprise me. 13' will be a challenge on every level in the football program. I will say this though, if CBJ is the right guy, it will stick out like a sore thumb towards the tail end of the season.... I believe that he is.

I had hoped that UF had found them another Ron Zook. From the outside looking in Florida was the team of the year in CFB with what they accomplished. Had WM not lost to UGA he would have been the coach of the year. Surely as a fan and someone in the know UF fans feel that way. Expectations are crazy in Gainsville... if I'm correct they have the #1 ranked class right now in recruiting. One bad game does not taint the whole season, but I'm sure glad that Gator fans got let down at least 2 good times this year. Florida isn't going anywhere folks, and Muschamp will be the reaon why.

Elam and Floyd are all sec types.

More importantly, Elam is the heartbeat of that defense.

Jelani Jenkins may also declare

We'll be in a bowl next year. IT might not be a huge one, but we will improve. The D can't get any worse. Peterman will give us another option on offense. Something else for opposing defenses to think about. I think we'll see a better atttiude on the field. I also don't like the bowlk season without the bright orange jersys running upo and down the field. Looking forward to better things next year. :good!:

What a bunch of crap. Muschump is safe and secure. I do agree with you though about UGA being in the sugar rather than the turds. If you go to the SECCG and lose, you get punished and that just ain't right. Just making it to the SECCG should count for a lot more than it does.

Elam wil be a great pro too. Floyd will be successful at the next level. As an opposing fan that hates your team I like watching Elam play.

The SEC was not as strong this year. There were really only two complete teams and those played in Atlanta. South Carolina was close but the passing game was inconsistent and they lost Lattimore. LSU and Florida had less than dynamic offenses but very good defenses.


Edit: A&M had a solid team on both sides of the ball.

USCe didn't just lose Lattimore. TN took him out.....possibly for good. Not only did we have a really crappy season, we may have cost one of the best (if not the best) running backs in the country an NFL career.

Yeah I agree with ya, the way this bowl system is screwed up. I don't think the loser of the sec champ game should be penalized for losing and going to a lower bowl while the team you beat jumps you.

I remember when you guys screws us when we lost and you guys whooped Hawaii when it should of been us there

The better example would have been "in 2001 when we lost to LSU in the conference championship game and were demoted from #2 all the way down to playing in the capital one bowl"



Harder to make the argument that a 4 loss team (2007) should be getting a BCS invite just because they made a conference championship game...
