Georgia will beat us as badly if not worse than anyone else this year. Any smack talk in that direction is unfounded--unless I am wrong, which will not be proven until those games are over (I do hope I am so wrong.)
I feel like what does on with our fans is similar to McGregor challenging Whitaker in a boxing ring. He got really good in UFC, but he was no pro boxer. He got cocky and for beat BADLY. And the McGregor fans who believed that fight was even close are similar to the fans who think we SHOULD go 10-2 this year and bragging about our offense being #3 when two of our four games were against Akron and Ball St.
As a fan base we would benefit by paying attention to the fact we haven't played a team even close to Georgia's and Alabama's calibur, yet we squeaked out two wins. We have only played 4 games, 2 of which were against awful teams everyone else has blown out that is half way decent. We are still just 20 games removed from a gutted 3 win team that lost to a 3 win Arkansas team. We apparently also have had limited rosters both last year and this year. Our best WR is hurt. Our DBs are as bad as I have ever seen.
I mean, seriously, how in the world does anyone really think we have any grounds to stand on when talking smack to GA or Bama or worse, EXPECT this team to finish better than 8-4/9-3? Is it possible for us not to get carried away?
Maybe I'm being a downer Dan and taking the smack talk too seriously, but I do remember our fanbase comparing Butch Jones to Neyland a bit prematurely
