We got kicked in the ass last year and, attitude adjusted, began playing to the level of our talent. I think this is our wake up call. Honestly, we were going to be lucky to get through the year undefeated anyway. Let's give that Tide team its due: they were damned good in the first half last night. But this is the Dawgs, and the talent here is undeniable. I agree with the OP who said that there isn't another team in the SEC that scares me. Florida looked god-aweful. LSU was lucky to survive. Auburn stayed in their game due to good fortune more than talent. The Dawgs will lick their wounds and regroup; they're too talented to do otherwise. Like last year, this loss may actually prove to be the best motivator we could have hoped for. Go Dawgs. Win or Lose, Go you hairy bulldogs.
