The odds are stacked against us but this defeatist mentality is a bit extreme and irrational
you're missing the point...the latest versions in experience point to such as plausible...
there's nothing defeatist in any relative capacity...all one has to do is look at the past two decades in performance (2-18) against ANY s$c team....name the other one (KYjell0) is too easy...hint: pre-Saban and number 4 on this year's list....
this ain' the '80s pal...and I went to every dayum one of those flying b&g...
If the point you’re trying to make is that I’m not buying into hype based off a logo on the side of the helmet, yeah you’re right.
This isn’t the 80’s but it isn’t 2014 either. Hell, it’s isn’t even 2018 for either team.
There’s no “relative capacity” to judge from given the current staff, players and situation. Even the term SEC encompasses all of college football. Very rarely are we afforded the opportunity to take on the lower tier. And SEC encompasses all of college football...you might win the National Championship or you might lose to Maine or Jacksonville State.
The offense giving up 21 points early is a very minute possibility and overemphasizing that possibility is nothing more than a defeatist mentality. Nothing realistic about it. Our team giving up 51 points and losing by 41 isn’t even on the map. That’s a defeatist mentality based off of buying into media overhype with an exaggerated knowledge of the team, staff or situation. Nothing credible about that take.
I couldn't give two shites about a stupid helmet logo that means dick...we passed on taking advantage of branding long ago (thank you IA and your cornhole subsidized bs)
let me get this straight....game 1 and the past three seasons don't give me insight about our staff and how to portray our field presence....vegas (which is how the GP factors the math) gets it wrong all the time, yah?
realize the betting public is on our side relative to the initial number....if being a double digit dog gives ya warm tingles, so be it...
21 pts. in q1 wasn't close to the point either....that's for the game if/when we crap our pants....q1 will be the result how team confidence is either there or not....our D can easily set the tone out of the gate...the 2nd half will show up in depth disparity...
regardless of semantics, I stand by 38-2....
as a fan, I can only hope this becomes bbs fodder in the locker room....some form of 'Monk-speak' needs to be realized...
hop-a-long can only 420 his passive/aggressive bs so long....
