Some seem to be underestimating the raw talent at Mizzou. It has been upgraded and ours has been severed by the flux. We are 16th and Mizzou is 25th.

The talent gap between us and Mizzou is the same as between us and OU/USC. Which is still only half of the gap between us and Bama.

But I guess it would be an embarrassment to OU or Texas if they ever lose or even get whipped by us. Because they will.

Your data was simplistic. It shows nothing. It doesn't take strength of schedule. I'll ask again. Surely you don't need data to tell you how to feel.

22 AL <=> 23 AL offense
22 FL <=> 23 FL offense
22 LSU <=> 23 TAMU offense
22 Pitt <=> Uconn, VA, Peay offense
22 KY <=> 23 KY Offense

I mean if you really need stats to answer that, I suggest you go do your own work.

Bama yes. Still averaging 34 ppg.

FL no. They have nearly identical stats to last year.

LSU yes bc of Daniels (and Vols best D performance of Heup era) but they averaged 34.5 ppg. A&M averages 34.2 ppg this year.

Pitt yes.

KY no. Their offense is better this year. +9 ppg better.

You also left off Mizzou. Much better offense this year. +8 ppg.

I've used it before-- no problem. Today, I go to the game and click on the feed and it directs me to a live stream sign-in page. So I do the drill, then it clicks me over to a page with free promo offers, which is an endless cycle of that. Never seen it do this.

Its like a popup. Just got back to the previous page and click play against. UT may open the popup 3 or so times before the real stream plays. Just go back quickly after each popup.

My firewall thinks certain pages are dangerous and does weird things sometimes. I enabled the popups, but they close and redirect. I have it now, though. Thanks!

Why did SEC bring in Missouri from the get go? NO ONE likes going there. Its a dump of a program. What does it add to the SEC? And if you say money - Ill shake my head bc its a rhetorical question.

They should have NEVER been invited to our cinference. Offer nothing. They dont even have a rival. This is sour grapes, yes. But ive stayed consistent in my disdain for that dump of a program for years.

Think about Miami, FSU, Va Tech, hell even Virginia. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Wtf.

Sankey has already taken the SEC from a league where we've traditionally been 2nd to now 4th. You want to push us even lower?

What is the obsession with making the SEC some unbeatable juggernaut while Clemson and others benefit from playing in even worse leagues...rather than having more parity across the country? It's insane and bad for the sport.

Your expectations were out of line with reality.

We lost a Heisman finalist, a Biletnikoff winner, another absolute stud at WR, a top 10 overall drafted OL, another stud on the OL, an animal on the DL, our do it all H-back, our OC….

….and you expected what, 10 wins again? 9-3 was always an extremely successful season for this year’s team with 8-4 a real and likely possibility.

This is bs hindsight bias.

Favored in 10. Win 10.

Not fall flat on the road to inferior rosters in Florida and Mizzou.

The injuries kind of excuse a lot of things because I think they were consistent, but it was fair to expect the team we saw in the orange bowl to come back and compete for championships.

8-4 was the BARE MINIMUM going into this year. Period.

We shouldn't have expected more out of a Joe Milton that lit up Clemson with Bru, Squirrel and Ramel? All RB's back, Castles and Warren at TE and a freak in Dont'e?

We should have EXPECTED to lose to two teams we were favored over??? Anyone that predicted 8-4 was predicting us to have some significant hiccups.

Our trajectory is fine now, but it's definitely not great. Some of the shine is off, but you guys just have a certain narrative that'll you'll cling to regardless of what anyone says so whatever.

8-4 is totally cool folks! Losing games you're favored in by double digits is a successful season!
