Win over TN but are you happy?

Darn tootin' i'm happy right now-Ain't no better feeling than whooping Tennessee's @ss on a Sat. night!

Not overwhelmed by our performance but still excstatic with the W!

GO YOU SILVER BRITCHES!!!

How often do we blow out SEC teams? I'm not checking my stat sheets, but it seems that a great many wins are ugly. I wouldn't even call this ugly because the game's vibe was "let em hang around, but we're going to beat them". I'll take 11 wins by one point each ANY year and EVERY year. This isn't the Big 10...er 12, ahh 14...or the PAC (insert number here), where you have one or two elite teams matched against patsies. With the exception of Vandy and teams from Mississippi, the SEC is stacked, so a win is quality no matter what the margin of victory.

I thought tonight saw an improving (emphasis on the continued aspect there) team that will be hell on wheels towards the end of the season if this track continues. D was nasty. Offense got it done. Yeah, we can talk about penalties and this or that missed pass, but that happens in every game. I'll take the Win any time. My beer tastes better, my pounding heart feels better, and the rest of the week goes better.

I guess a better question for this thread is "If we won the rest of our games like this, would you be upset at the end of the season." If your answer is no, rock on Dawggie. If it's yes, I know a Prozac salesman.

You bet your @$$ I'm happy right now! We held an SEC team to -20 rushing yards. We held a QB who hadn't had less than 2 passing TD's in a game since last year to exactly ZERO passing TD's.

Been posted hear a bunch of times...defense wins championships. We're playing offense with a true freshman leading rusher, a true freshman leading receiver, several underclassmen on the line, a first time at position fullback, etc., etc., etc. At some point in the next few weeks our offense WILL start to click...I'm just happy we have the defense to lean on until it does. There will be areas of improvement needed after every game...that's football. I'm not happy most of our improvement consistently needs to happen on the offensive side of the ball, BUT I'm thrilled that we have a team playing as a team to win games, and not a group of 22 individuals playing to pad their stats.

Am I choosing to overlook some obvious coaching blunders? Yeah, probably. Am I choosing to overlook sloppy/stupid penalties? For sure. But that's my choice, and dang it, I'm exercising my right to choose! GO DAWGS...LET'S FINISH THE TENNESSEE TWO-STEP AT VANDY NEXT WEEK AND GET READY FOR SOME LIZARD SOUP!!

Posted in another thread that I would like to reach Atlanta and find out just how far we have progressed. Couple of teams in the West that would be a good test to grade our efforts overall.

Got your back oredawg... I will remember you said it first.

Actually I said it first.............lol

"Those 3 wins have come against inferior teams.

If your only measure of improvement is the won/loss record, I think you will be severely disappointed come the end of November. This team and its chicken $hit coaching staff loses to TN,FL,Auburn,Tech and possibly Vandy. Not wanting it to happen, but willing to bet money it does. Any takers?"

Of course I was wrong about TN.... Maybe I was wrong about Vandy too?

Vandy has ZERO offense and our D is pretty healthy ='s a win.
