I don't think he's putting down CMG or the tide. Looking at a tough non conference schedule, and a tough, as usual, SEC schedule, it is easy to see how we could come in at less than .500 for the season.
I am encourgaed by what I saw Friday, and think that we might be a bit of a surprise team this year. I'd think we might get to 16 or 17 wins this time around.
Remember, though, that we didn't load up our non conference schedule with cup cakes, like many coaches would with an inexperienced team like we have. This will bode well in the future, but it would not shock me if we lost four or five non conference games, and remember that last year's much more expeienced team did not make it to .500 in SEC play.
