I remember being laughed at saying this several weeks ago-a good coach can beat Bama. They have weaknesses that can be exploited, primarily in attitude.
Back to back losses to FSU: Who wouldn't want to fire Mac now?

My answer? I want to keep Mac. I think he is selecting the players with the right attitude, and given the situation when he arrived, he's not taking chances. Keep it up Mac

You have to admit winning the East isnt that big of a deal the last couple of years with how weak it is. I would gladly take a better offense moving forward and better recruiting rankings with a win over FSU to going to the SECCG this year as far as the future of the program goes. I know winning the conference is a huge priority but we are in a period in the program where if some things aren't turned around we could be in big trouble and winning a weak SEC East doesn't really matter much. It is nice to see the West besides Bama having some issues now.

Some of you guys are quite dense. I said I didn't care about winning the division and never have. That's true. OF COURSE you have to win the division to go play for the title. Obviously, I was talking about getting to the SECCG and losing. When that happens, a division title means nothing, at least to me. They don't hand out rings for that unless you're FSU.

I'm pretty sure Tinerc would hand out rings for that.
I think they handed out rings for beating Vatech.

TN got them for winning the Toyota Gator Bowl in Bytch's second year if memory serves me.

What kind of report can you give us from Tinerc? Lots of suicide up there I hope?

Man I love it when we win a big game and the trolls here get all squeamish. Almost better than winning the game itself.

LIVE from Knoxville this am.
A lot of dejection among the folks up here. While attending a banquet last night here the talk was about UF/LSU and "oh how we beat you". I just simply replied yes, but that's not getting you to ATL. I told them to try to perhaps win your F'n games and you won't have to worry about what other teams do.
Hearing the Sugar Bowl BS, but who knows what happens there. After yesterday, I am not discounting that UF can do anything or winning any game. They've certainly earned the benefit of the doubt.
The Bytch talk is starting again, mostly grumbles. But Sgt. Carter is here for next year, book it. But if Vandy give them a dose like they did against Ole Piss, look out. That's enough to get you fired.
But in all a pretty humble group, hard to talk shyt when you have no hardware to back it up. And BTW I told them the Battle at Bristol Trophy doesn't count.

That's the way all the people in the PF feel right now. All the big mouths have either shut the fock up or left completely (hopefully including suicide in Lboy's case).
Let me ask you, if we didn't look like we'd never even seen a football at Arky much less practiced it ever and lost to Bytch Jones, would this even have been a BIG GAME?

LSU is always a big game, especially on the road. Considering we hadn't won there since '09 and it was all the way back to '03 before that, yesterday was an enormous win.

I'll agree with that. It was a big win. And Ogeron or whatever his name is, is just as good as Miles. In fact, i thought their play calling was better. It was certainly better that our OC's for the most part. Just one example, you know how we kept running Swain across in front of the hand off to Scarlett? Perish the thought they might have actually handed him the ball. They were killing us with their end around.

This. The last time lswho wasn't a big game was when SOS was wiping the floor with almost every SEC opponent. Even then, it was considered a quality win.
Ever since saban built lswho back into a top tier SEC team, that game has been pretty big for us, even when they're having a "down" year. They're STILL loaded with NFL talent and the ogre made them better after the hat was fired, so the "interim coach " disclaimer is lame.

Yes! Because of all the "they scared to play us" talk coming out of LSU when a hurricane was putting families out of their homes. Yes! Because their AD was a childish punk about rescheduling the game, forcing us to give up TWO home games, so they could keep ALL of their home games. Yes! It still would have been a BIG GAME!

Ironic, considering the fact that winning the SEC East division has significant implications on recruiting no matter the outcome of the championship game. You might not care, but it's much easier for a coach to sit in the living room of a five star recruit and say "We are one player away from winning the SECCG and you will play as a freshman," vs. UGA's or Tenn's sales pitch.
