I decided to take a glance around the other SEC teams and see what the general consensus is so far this season from our foes.
-(Alabama) They want all coordinators fired. They’re not even close to happy with anything it seems. They are very nervous about A&M, LSU, Tennessee, and Kentucky. They are mad at Saban for hiring incompetent coordinators and not chewing enough ass.
-(Arkansas) Pittmans seat is red hot according to them. Their top new HC candidates include: Willie Fritz (HC FOR TULANE), Jeff Traylor (HC FOR UTSA, Mike Elko (HC FOR DUKE), Lance Leipold (HC FOR KANSAS), and Kendall Briles (OC FOR TCU). They are ready for basketball season, they’re done.
-(Auburn) There is a lot of “it’s okay” attitude going around about Freeze’s first year as HC. They don’t seem too discouraged about anything, just seem to accept they will take their lumps this year and then be leaps and bounds better next year.
-(Florida) Begging Napier to hire an OC. They feel like they have a better chance in home or neutral games compared to being on the road. They think they’re going to finish 5-7 or 6-6. If Napier doesn’t succeed next year, then he should be canned. Tennessee victory is long gone now, it’s all doom.
-(Georgia) Split fanbase right now. Some think they’re going to 3 peat, others are calling those 3 peat folks very graphic names. A majority does recognize that this isn’t Georgia of the old and some are claiming losses coming to Kentucky and Tennessee. There’s a lot of bickering going on about Bobo needing to be gone after this year.
-(Kentucky) They’re on top of the world. There are some that are seemingly making plans for Atlanta in December. There is zero fear going around for remaining games. A few fans claim that they are going to obliterate Georgia Saturday night and that will swing the season into full gear. Tennessee doesn’t stand a chance according to a few.
-(LSU) Full meltdown mode is engaged. There are some calling for Brian Kelly’s head and for LSU to back up the Brinks trunk to Primes front door in Boulder. A lot of irrational thought going on, full of piss and vinegar. They don’t see winning many more games on the horizon.
-(Miss St) According to many, the program is a complete train wreck and has been for quite some time. They are not happy by any means about a single thing. There was even a thread about remembering good times in the program from the 90’s.
-(Missouri) A lot of similarities here between them and Kentucky’s board. A lot of them think that it’s them and Kentucky for the East. Drinkwitz is a savior now and they are supposedly better on offense than Ole Miss and will take it to LSU.
-(Ole Miss) Kiffin is back in good graces after a big win over LSU. They still see a couple of more losses coming, but for now they are still in the race for the West. They are urging the crowds to be bigger at home games as apparently the attendance has been low. Recruiting is a big topic and they feel like they’re doing a decent job at it.
-(South Carolina) The tables have turned in Columbia. They weren’t so much bothered by the UGA loss, but they are heated about losing to Tennessee. Beamer is falling from grace over there and Rattler is not high on their list neither. They are asking what it’ll take to actually compete for the East and how much longer it’s going to take.
-(Texas A&M) They are confident. The Miami loss was a fluke and they’re going to beat the hell out of Alabama. According to some, they don’t see another loss all year long. Tennessee really isn’t mentioned as the game is 2 weeks away. All focus is on Alabama and how bad they’re going to beat Saban.
-(Vanderbilt) Football talk is seemingly dead. I did see threads about a Cricket Club and the upcoming Bowling season. Baseball is being mentioned as well. Football program has been in the grave for years and they don’t think it’ll ever be resurrected. According to them, they need to throw some serious money to get a competent head coach to Nashville to finally right the ship.
