Sorry keeping myself busy until Thursday's tipoff. Sorry for the rant in advance.

OK, really! Is this fucking fair? THIRD toughest schedule based on last year's results. We were so far below my expectations last year and now this. I have a feeling the job search has already started within the AD... Don't get me wrong, I am still rooting my ass off for my team, and I WANT Brown to show improvement and keep his job, but it's not going to be easy, that's for sure.

Yea, I expect as much in the SEC. My gripe is we have been DOWN and really need to have a bounce back season. Not likely to happen, but we shall see - hopefully, we can start strong against the state of Pennsylvania - @Penn State, Duquesne, and pitt.

So what's new, not the first time we've had the toughest schedule, or the second, or the third time. Been there many times.

Man you are not kidding... it seems like since we joined the SEC we always get some crazy schedule where most of the teams we play are either top 10 or played in a bowl the previous year and don't suck... I am so used to it now I don't even get mad any more.
