I hate that I feel this way considering I spent all offseason wanting the season to get here… but I can’t wait until this season is over.

I want the Milton era over.
I want the McCoullough era over.
I want the Ollie era over.

And on and on and on…

Thank you for being VFLs but I want to move on.

I have doubts about this coaching staff. And if this offense will work long term in the sec. We need a DOMINANT oline it seems, and we don’t have an elite recruiter at OL coach and based on how we’re in year 3 and guys like Ollie Lane and Dayne Davis are still getting snaps, I am not confident in elerbes ability to develop guys.

I also think Heupel just be the kind of coach who will drop a game unexpectedly each year. An annual stinker. Florida might’ve been it this year but tbh Mizzou is kind of worse. Two years in a row he get wrecked on the road in November when our fate was before us.

I hope after the Vandy game, Joe sits out for draft prep or whatever and we roll with Nico all durinf bowl prep and that game. Let’s get him some extended run going into the offseason.

8-4 is a disappointment. I’m ready for this season to end.

Agree with some of this, especially the first two paragraphs and the last sentence

For sure but he has had multiple bad games. UF big run was him, SC big run was him, and then yesterday was bad start to finish

I feel bad for him but dang gotta give Telander the reigns

Herring can be a good-to-great SEC linebacker if he works for it. He's got to get faster and add lateral mobility. He seems to read things very well already, but athletically at this point he's behind Telander, Carter, and arguably Perry. Perry has looked very good imo but I wonder if they're still picking up how to run the defense. Losing Pilli was a huge blow because Herring was not ready.

I think we will be okay moving forward, especially if Herring works on the physical stuff this offseason. The aformentioned guys and the guys coming in are going to give us a talented LB group.

Expecting bama or UGA level success is absurd. Yeah yesterday is disappointing, especially after last season. But I think the trajectory of the program is in a good spot. Don’t jump ship on the coaches just yet. Be upset, but be here to support

It’s more absurd to think 7-5 8-4 is a good season when it’s the SEC. That line of thinking is over in this era. Raise banners or be fired for a 76 million dollar buyout

We aren’t going 7-5.

And good god grow a pair and enjoy the climb. We are a program on the rise. If we get to 9 with a bowl win that’s 20 wins the last 2 years.

Since the Aggies haven’t won much of anything since the 1930’s shouldn’t they just keep Jimbo? Shouldn’t 8-4 be enough? What are they thinking??? LOL. Blue font.

If I recall correctly, they have the third or fourth best record since joining the SEC in 2012. They’ve done well- just haven’t won any divisions or titles. If they have $80m laying around to buy out Fisher, my goodness they are loaded. Not sure why fans think they will be a mediocre program in the modern era. I think they will get rolling soon.

Nico's RS status is of no consequence.

This staff's philosophy is to play older, experienced players and develop talent behind them. They're playing the guys they want to play. CJH decided pre-season that Joe was their guy and he has reiterated this all year. Injuries have impacted their plan somewhat, but they convinced some of these older guys to come back and they're playing them.

In hindsight, I know it's still fresh on our minds and stings and it's Mizzou but this Mizzou team was good. They returned most of their starters, mostly upper classmen, full group of Drink's recruits, etc etc. They showed it in SEC play and they're on track for 10-2.

They're disciplined and talented. They're a better TEAM than we are this year. They got us at home. They just bullied us last night. I circled this game in the offseason as a game of concern.

Florida was an unacceptable, inexplicable loss. A lot of that had to do with missing Cooper Mays. But we should've won that game against lesser competition. I don't feel the same about the Mizzou game. Mizzou is a better team this year and has proven that. It took Georgia playing at home and Heisman finalist Jaden Daniels to beat them.
