The Blue Board

I say we start out at about 23 or 22 IMO. I also wouldn't be shocked to see us picked to finish 3rd or 4th in the west with all that Lsu is losing. I say definitely start out ranked because this team has a ton of potential and expectations will be high

I don't know if they will be ranked that high to start with, but OM will be there at the end. I honestly think the West may be decided by the OM/ aTm game.

No, I don't think arky and auburn will be as bad this year.

The D is going to be on par talent wise with anyone in the SEC.

Ward
RNK
Gross
Hooks
Reed (As of right now)
CJ Johnson
Sawyer
Snoop Brassell
Gohlston

A bunch of high 4 stars and 5 stars on that list. Most of those kids will play on Sundays and a few may be good enough to be drafted in the first round. That doesn’t even mention that we have legit shots at Lawson and Daniel to possibly put on that line as well.

solid lineup.

Lawson's Dad didn't mention OM in his latest interview as a possible visit. Not saying it won't happen , but according to him it was Clemson this weekend, probably UTenn and AU, and possibly UNC. He even mentioned USC as a long shot visit. I consider Clemson the biggest threat now.

Possibly. I have never really been sold that Lawson leaves AU. I dont think Clemson because of the fact I think Lawson wants to Play in the SEC. I think TENN and OM are the biggest threats to AU.

Lawson Sr. said his son’s other visits haven’t been set up yet but they have four other schools they’re still considering.

“He’s probably going to go to Tennessee. He’s contemplating taking another one to Auburn and possibly North Carolina,” he said. “He still talks about USC but I’m not sure if he’s going to do that.”

the rest of the article is here.

Who is touting it? He simply stated thats who we beat. Pitt also played ND to 3 OTs (not that it means anything). OM would have beat PSU by 3 scores guy. With depth, we would have also beat A&M, LSU and Vandy this year (all teams with 9+ wins in the SEC).

He said "Coach Hugh Freeze has done a remarkable job both coaching us to a winning season with a bowl win over Pitt and in recruiting." He was certainly touting the Pitt win.

I don't care how you would have done against PSU. It has nothing to do with the statement at hand.

Regardless, if you think OM beats PSU by 3 scores at the end of the season (they may have at the beginning of the year, but PSU greatly improved), I can't say I agree. I don't think many non-OM fans would agree either. You beat Arkansas by 3 and lost at home to Vandy.

Since you apparently love the transitive property with your Pitt thing (using the transitive property is almost always a waste of time), Vandy lost to Northwestern by 10 and PSU beat Northwestern by 11.

EDIT: Scratch that beginning of the season thing. You would have beaten us probably, but not by 3 scores then either. You couldn't beat a horrendous UTEP team by 3 scores and barely beat an above average FCS team by 3 scores (22 points).

good man, thx

Dude, I wasn't touting nothing.. who did we beat in a bowl? Pitt.. plain and simple. Most experts expected us to do the same thing we did last year with maybe a win or two better.. we defied that. No one's touting a win over Pitt.

Haha
