And there are more than a few indicators that either a) we never had a recession or b) the worst is already behind us. By technical definition Q2 and Q3 will “officially” land us in recession territory but many inflation indicators have already turned over. I’m not even saying that I think a recession isn’t going to come but I don’t see a lot to believe that it’s going to be some “worst of all time” status.

I hope you're right...this whole situation has been really confusing to me. Some indicators really make it seem financial doom is upon us as the other posters have said they think is going to happen, while as you say, other indicators make it seem it is going to start to get better..🤷‍♂️

I saw a dude that had to be close to my age (54) at the rodeo last night with a beautiful young woman that couldn't have been more than 20-22...but at least he looked like he took care of himself and was dressed nice unlike that old blob.

I was sitting there thinking that just looks like too much hard work to me.
Too many of these scenarios in W Knox.

How can there be anything emotional?

Anyway, WC. Their perogative.

What’s the two deep looking like right now and which position battles are still happening?
LT is the biggest battle imo. Looks like Crawford for the first game, but I’m thinking Mincey eventually locks it up. From the reports, Mincey is the best physical specimen
I don’t think the CB opposite Burrell is locked up either. Wouldn’t be surprised if Burrell is beaten out during the season
 
In 2014 Bill Connelly had us ranked #96 for returning production. We went 7-6.

In 2015 Bill Connelly had us ranked #18 for returning production. We went 9-4.

In 2021 Bill Connelly had us ranked #116 for returning production. We went 7-6.

In 2022 Bill Connelly has us ranked #17 for returning production. 👀

Power-5 opponents returning production for 2022, updated as of June 28 (includes transfers):

(South Carolina #35, Kentucky #42, Vanderbilt #45, Missouri #49, Alabama #56, Pittsburgh #67, LSU #73, Georgia #79, Florida #85).

So you are saying that if we beat everyone in the SEC and OOC with our returning production…

15-0 is the way 🤠
 
I hate disappointment...it means you freaking failed to do what you were supposed to do. I will never understand people with crazy expectations...I don't think unrealistic "expectations" are what I think of as being "optimistic"...I think they are corrosive when unmet and unfair to the team and coaching staff.

I am "optimistic" that we could win 9-10 games given a specific set of circumstances finally going our way for what seems like forever...but I don't expect it because it is unrealistic to expect that much improvement from this defense in particular.

I'm still at 7-5 and staying there...but...I can see how 9+ wins could happen.

So my interpretation is

15-0 🤠

But you will happily settle for 10-2…win bowl game 11-2?

Yep, every recession is different. This one is very weird like you said simultaneous signals of disaster and relief. But I think the relief/ recovery is fake. Instead of cutting back spending in the face of devastating inflation. Us consuming addicted Americans keep swiping the visa and have exploded credit card debt in the last month or two. That 19% apr bill comes due fast. I do think unlike 2008, America will fare the best during this global downturn. Europe and East Asia look screwed.
