I hope our team isn’t wearing Milk- Bone underwear!
Yeah people need to be prepared for the possibility that we are a better team than last year but not much different record-wise.
The good news is we replaced second games against Auburn and Kentucky from last year with Texas and Oklahoma which should be more winnable games. We just don’t have many breaks.
ESPN BPI has us going 9-9 in SEC but there are a ton of games in that which are basically 50/50 toss ups.

We haven't made the 2nd weekend of the tournament in 28 years. For me, I couldn't care less about a 9-9 or 10-8 conference record. Nobody remembers those. Just get in the tournament and win 2 games and it'll be a successful season.
Vandy, Ole Miss, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Georgia I think are winnable road games. We won’t win all of them but we’ll have a chance in each.
Prepare to take L’s at Bama, Auburn, Tennessee, Arkansas.
The big home games will be key for us. Kentucky, Bama, Florida, Texas, A&M, I guess OM if you wanna count them. Need to do some damage on our home court in those games.
I'm not chalking UPig up to an L at this point.
We have done well against Arkansas in the last 8 years…. We also have been dreadful against Calipari. So no idea what that all means.
This ball team is good, guys. They are mentally tough, aren't going to be intimidated in any road environment, and they're going to play like MEN!
They have not yet shown us the level of defensive intensity they are capable of. Trust the plan of JANS!
They're getting at least 12 conference wins this year. Enjoy the whole show.
Then enjoy the Dance!

There was nothing more mezmerizing to me as a kid back in the 70's than a Soul Train step line. And that sorta still holds up today. There were some foxy ladies on that show.
Also, I think that's where Fred 'Rerun' Berry got his start popping and locking, before his legendary role. Those of you who don't know what I'm talking about... I'm sorry you missed out growing up in the real greatest generation.
agree.. and with our OOC schedule.. to get off that line we are going to need 11-12 wins in the sec AND win a game or two in the sec tourney.
