What is with the predictions and the sense of almost entitlement... From reading some of you, I'd think we already beat South Carolina by 2 TDs... The game is a week away and this team has not earned anything yet... Yes, they're trying hard and they're moving in the right direction and there's a good vibe around the program in general, but come on... Let's move back towards reality a little bit...

There are people talking about how we could beat Alabama because they only beat Kentucky 48-7... I mean, that is literally a thing on here... :banghead2: I don't know where it's coming from or what it's logically based on... And please don't feed me "Well fan is degum short for dang 'fanatic', durr...", that's not profound, it's just an attempted justification for stupidity... Chalking up South Carolina as a win is just the dumbest thing I've ever seen... I think UT can win, but I'm not feeding myself false hope that will only lead to disappointment if they don't win...

I think Volnation just likes to induce insanity... Jon Lovitz - He's Losing His Mind - YouTube

You're right, I should just mope around and talk.about how inexperienced we are for 6 months and how we are never going to win a big game again.

I think we will beat USCe by 2 TDs and that's my realistic prediction.

Its called supporting your team.. you should try it sometime...

They have not earned anything yet? gimme a break... that statement alone tells me all I need to know about you.

If you don't want to get your "hopes up" fine.. I wont tell you how to be a fan.

But in the same context, DO NOT come on here and and try to tell other people they are crazy for believing in this team that has shown such a tremendous amount of improvement from just game to game this year..

Let alone how much better of a team and coaching staff we have from last year.

I saw the light turn on in the UGA game last week. And if they keep it up and keep improving like they have been already. Anything is possible.. we could win out, finish the season ranked and go to a premier bowl game.

By your logic we should just hang our hats up now and just forget about playing the rest of the year.


P.S. Seriously your afraid of it leading to disappointment? LMAO truly, If you are that afraid of disappointment you should find another pastime....just sayin

The majority will be pleased with six wins. We all would like a signature win and South Carolina could be it.

Spoil gamecocks chances to reach Nationalchampionship game before October ends a great win it would be.
More than 7 wins overachieving.

They don't "Get It"

Your negativity is the same bull **** that makes our program suck right now. I love CBJ, but it's your bull **** negative that caused Fulmer to get fired.

Excellent post. The guy who you replied to make me think that our fan base will prevent us from ever being a legit program again.

Ok I guess I'm guilty of being over optimistic. In fact I was kind da bummed when the new rankings came out and sc is just outside the top ten. I was thinking when was the last time we beat a top ten team. Oh well. We'll just have to wait one more week!

How is telling people they shouldn't count a game that hasn't been played yet as a win anything like telling people they're not allowed to have an opinion??? You're missing the exact point of both of my posts...

Logic: Tennessee has a legitimate chance to win.
Flaw: Tennessee is definitely going to win for sure book it.

Logic: This team hasn't really earned anything yet, and the game is still a week away.
Flaw: We almost beat Georgia, let's look ahead to Alabama and Missouri

Logic: Putting down South Carolina as an "already in the bag" game is foolish.
Flaw: DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!!! SORRY I CAN'T HAVE AN OPINION!!!!1

The irony is that some of those that want to inject a bit of what they consider reality into the USCe game prognostications were ready to predict utter defeat at the hands of Missouri.

The reality is that there is a reasonable chance every week that the underdog teams will win, especially in the SEC and when their talent matches up fairly well.

As for this game, I tend to think we may see one team win by a comfortable margin. IMO, that will be determined by which UT and USCe team shows up on Saturday.

Thank you Wiki Man....lots of people who have inferiority complexes about their education or lack thereof usually play the Wiki game......

Are there really people on this site who believe we can beat Bama??

We CAN beat them. That doesn't mean it's a sure thing. If you don't believe it's possible, why bother watching the game? Really, that is just asinine. I bet that you will agree if you think about it for a minute.

That is the biggest flaw I see on this site. Too many people are quick to spout off without thinking first. Then to top it off, they are too stubborn to admit they were wrong. Ponderous.

You are pretty much saying if we don't think we are going to get raped like you do then we shouldn't post. The thing is actual realists like me get tired of seeing that nonsense posted all the time. I think we win big. Not looking past USCe but I think we come out pissed off and with a new sense of chemistry especially on offense. My prediction is we win 41-24. I know how stupid to think we can beat someone in our own stadium that has a cancer playing DE for them.

Good post. You will get a bashing, but still a good post.
I think we have a real shot at winning next Saturday, but to write it off as a sure win is just plain stupid. If things go badly, prepare for the meltdown.

GO VOLS! :rock:
