Ugh... I think discipline is much harder to have now. Hopefully we can be more so than others.I don't really know honestly. I know some people on the inside and some say we are undisciplined beyond belief. But some of the veterans are trying to take the reigns to bring the new guys up to speed on how things ought to work. So we'll see. Leadership will be key this year.
College coaches are paid an obscene amount of money. Players have become professionals. Maybe not students at all! The cost of watching games on TV increases year over year and ticket cost to attend a game are out of reach for many. The NFL becomes a more attractive alternative where there is an equal playing field and players, coaches and general managers are the difference makers.No CNS, the portal and NIL. I have zero expectations anymore. I will watch Bama but they have ruined the game of college football for me.
Good point on the other new starting QB .I think maybe 11-1, 10-2, Georgia will be tough, South Carolina will be tough, Tennessee and LSU are not beating us at home, also everyone is talking about Simpson, he will be fine, seems no one in the country brings up Saying at Ohio State, Stockton at Georgia or Manning at Texas, they are first time starter, we will be fine
I don't really worry about our ranking... Let everyone overlook us and we can roll in unexpected!Good point on the other new starting QB .
Btw, those said schools just happened to be in the Top 5 in the pre season. Criticizing them would ruin the narrative for those pundits and " experts ".
I gave up on the NFL a long time ago. I may have to start playing golf again.College coaches are paid an obscene amount of money. Players have become professionals. Maybe not students at all!

‘The fun is in the winning’"I just hope everybody has fun."
It is a tough seven game run from Georgia to Oklahoma. LSU has a returning QB who expects to go high in the draft. South Carolina has a great athlete returning at QB playing at home. Any type of early stumble could multiply. Make it through the gautlet and expectations are sky high.The schedule is very difficult. We have questions about key positions, discipline, depth, and toughness. I think we have top 10 talent, so we shall see how it comes together with coaching, teamwork, luck, and effort. I'll say from 8-4 at worst to 11-1 at best. I'll pick 9-3 and hope for better. Roll Tide!
