Top 3 Realistic Goals for the Season

What are your top 3 realistic goals for the season? And, by realistic, I mean we can stretch a bit, maybe drink in some preseason "pumper" enthusiasm - but keep it realistic (subjective I know...). Mine:

1. 9 wins heading into the post-season.
2. Beat the filthy, disgusting, ass-sniffing Leghumpers
3. An offense that moves the ball, scores some points and is fun to watch (dare I say, begins to evoke the emotion of watching the Fun-N-Gun in the '90s).

While 9 wins is admittedly optimistic, assume for a moment we hold serve and win the ones we should (Idaho, EMU, UK, UT, Mizzou, Vandy, EKU). Also assume that Bammer on the road is too steep a hill to climb, and assume for my ever-loving sanity that we win the WLOCP (big assumption, but I swear by all that is holy I will go on a 3 state killing spree if we don't). That means that we need to find one win: at home against LSU, at home against USCe or on the road against the Clowns to get to 9 wins. Of the 3, LSU seems the most likely W, to me anyway. The Mad Hatter usually has a trick or two up his sleeve and he recruits as well as anyone not named Saban, but they have a lot of holes to fill on that roster including QB. I think the home crowd will be the difference. We'll rattle their youngsters and eke this out. That's 9 wins heading into a bowl game where we roll some corn-fed Big10 gomers for a 10 win season and a feel-good story if there ever was one. As for our offense, man, there's a ton of paper talent, deep backfield with different styles of RB, we're healthy and Roper is getting raves. I love offensive football. Please, move the ball, score some points, limit turnovers and be fun to watch. So, what are your 3 realistic goals for the season?

1. Offensive improvement - starting with OL, but also including WR and QB play. Basically move the ball and score more points. More big plays

2. Defensive pressure - get more sacks and really pressure opposing QBs into making bad plays

3. One "big" win and no "bad" losses - need a win vs. Bama, FSU, or UGA. I'd prefer FSU or UGA, but a win against Bama would be nice also.

We've added two powderpuff victories to the schedule over the last few years. I love how returning to Zook level is the only realistic option and anyone who suggests that 4-6 losses is unacceptable are people who "aren't being reasonable".

If Muschimp can't get win a championship his dawg smelling azzz should be fired.

Being a third tier SEC team (9-4, 8-5, 7-6) isn't good enough around here. I love how you just write off being competitive enough to compete with mighty LSU or Ugly. Hell, Zook beat those chumps.

You people are disgusting.
