Re: 2007 SEC Football Thread
barry,
Making a bowl - any bowl - would be an achievement for Vandy and also hardly qualify for "Vandy hype." A .500 record would be an achievement, and hardly qualify as "Vandy hype." I don't put much stock in the argument that without Cutler, the team can't do anything. My buddy says that 1) Nickson is really good, 2) the O-line is far and away the best they've had in a long time, and 3) everyone on the team hated Cutler like fire, and I believe him on all counts. If the QB position is worse this year than Cutler's senior year - and with Nickson unproven and Cutler an NFL starter, that's hard to argue - virtually every other position is better, including those positions that make life easier on a QB. So I don't think its unreasonable to hope that Vandy can actually play past the regular season this year. That's both something for Vandy fans to be excited about and something that's outside of what you'd typically call "hype." On a somewhat related note, Vandy season tickets are going like hotcakes this year because all the demand from traveling Bama fans has caused tickets for that game alone to go for more than season tickets. Funny stuff. |

Re: 2007 SEC Football Thread
ESPN: "Arkansas.... 4-4 in the SEC. No championship game for them this year."
[img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I'd feel worse about that statement, but then with Houston Nutt at the helm for another year even with DMac in the backfield I don't hold much hope either. Look for Arkansas' offense to remain Nutt-tacular, i.e. Run. Run. Pass. Punt. Considering we have no QB threat, I hope DMac takes at least 50% of the snaps himself this year. |

Going to be an interesting year for us (Auburn)... offensive line needs to come together fast so we can keep Cox healthy

Re: 2007 SEC Football Thread
RDH-
I understand that going to a bowl would be huge for Vandy and I meant hype relatively, like hype in this thread ("watch out for Vandy" yada yada). Here's their schedule, pick the 6 wins. Richmond Alabama Ole Miss Eastern Mich @Auburn Georgia @South Carolina Miami (OH) @Florida Kentucky @Tennessee Wake Forest |

I think they win 2 of UGA,UK,WF,Bama. It's a tough schedule though so certainly no lock. |

Dick sucks, Monk is hurt and won't play for Troy, Kentucky, and possibly Alabama. Defense is iffy too with some of these guys we lost. Nutt gets a lot of bad press and negative attention here but I think it's unwarranted. Mustain sucked ass and was really overrated. Dick wasn't getting the job done most of the year so of course we are going to run the hell out of them with D-Mac. |
