It has to be the barn, not only did they lose but it how they lost. Then the fanbase who just praised cheeznip for 2010 turned on him like a pack of dogs.
I don't think UGA exceeded expectations. With their schedule one SEC loss should have been the most they took. This was their year to win the SEC if they wanted to. They had a veteran QB, what turned out to be a great RB, and a defense that is loaded with NFL talent.Maybe the title should have contained "Other than API". Then, we could have a good debate. API wins, by default, simply because they are API.
UF and UGA exceeded expectations. Both teams have character issues, and were limited to their ceiling. LSU has ol' Les to thank them for his usual moves. The Pig People rescued themselves by hiring what may be a decent coach. UcheaT really embarrassed themselves, and had a chaotic coaching search.
Not only did API go fail to win a conference game, they think Gus is going to rescue them. Still has to be API. (Yes, I am biased.)
