I'm sure they think the same of Florida these days. Remember those heady days when Gator fans believed EVERY team played the Gators as though it was their MNC game? How many of those teams you listed expect a win against us? Even freaking VANDY! Last decade:

Vanderbilt: 8-2
Missouri: 5-5
Kentucky: 7-3
S. Carolina: 6-4

Total: 26-14 (.650)

From 2000-2009:

Kentucky: 10-0
S. Carolina: 9-1
Vandy: 10-0

Total: 29-1 (.967)

Difference: - 0.317

Granted, they developed some solid teams, but USCe was mostly solid since 2000. There no longer is fear to play the Gators.

We CAN recover. Tennessee was 78-82 from 2008-2020, but Heupel appears to have turned it around (may be too early to tell at this time, as Butch Jones looked to have done the same from 2014-2016). I'm rooting HARD for Billy to succeed. It's embarrassing to go through so many coaches in a short span. In this day and age, however, poor performance will chase off blue chippers and fill the dreaded Portal. I don't know what secret potion Norvell, Heupel and others have to achieve portal success, but we better get us some...

It starts with cash. We finally got facilities and our payroll must be legit.

If that is the case they better be careful what they wish for. If they kill football, the rest of the sports won't be far behind.

That's thing thing. They don't want it dead. It is just that, in their minds, they fear being on the wrong end of the tail wagging the dog.

They want a huge fan base mostly satisfied with winning seasons, not necessarily winning championships.

1. Beat your cupcakes.

2. You have to beat teams that have similar talent levels. USC, Miz, and Kentucky.

3. Beat 1 team that is better than you. LSU, FSU, or Tenn. I feel the FSU game is the best chance. We played then pretty well in Tally and now the game is home.

7-5, probably will end up 6-6.

Well we just beat one of the teams better than us on paper.
