SEC Schedule Predictions:

Fortunately LSU is our next to last game. That could be that game that puts us in the top half - and by then it will give Stokes as much time as possible to gel with the current squad.

Winning two conference road games? Really?

Three actually.

Overall, I missed by three games. Glad I did.

The Florida wins I easily missed, and the last two games, but I was wrong about Georgia.

Overall, this was a very good year.

Don't feel bad we sure didn't see this turnaround coming. These guys are closing hard and you have to love a team with some grit.

I have no problem looking like a fool when the Vols do well.

I saw nothing that would make us a 10 win team at that time. We had just gotten crushed at Memphis and Stokes hadn't played yet. The loss to Peay really concerned me. At that time, the team had still not bought into Martin's defensive style. I was hoping that loss wasn't a sign of things to come. Instead, it was a good thing for the team. I think Martin used it to his advantage to show the guys that you aren't beating anyone unless you commit to his style of defense. Even though we still had our ups and downs against Memphis, Candy and Ky on the road, we became a much better team.

The Austin Peay lost was the best thing to happen to this team, because they bought in after that game (despite the UM loss).

The games that kill me are UGA/Bama. Those are games we should have won.

Overall though, I'm proud of this team and their never quit attitude. It was joyable to watch them this year.

I believe, much like the whole team had to lose to AP for them to understand how things had to be, the UGA and Miss St games had to happen for Golden to grow into his spot. He didn't handle the ends of those two games very well, but he obviously took the lessons he learned there and put them to good use. He carried the team in OT at LSU and was rock solid down the stretch against Vandy. Now, at the end of the season, if the game comes down to 1 possession and Golden has the ball in his hands and has to make a play, I feel pretty good about or chances. The UGA and Miss St losses made that possible.
