Unoffical schedule

Buc wrote: sadlerdawg, don't know if you had the chance to watch the Missouri/North Carolina game. Missouri is for real, scares me, especially being an away game, packed house and Missouri is going to play lights out against its first SEC East opponent. Franklin their quarterback is Cam Newton like. I have more of a concern about this game than I do South Carolina. Time will tell.

Didn't get a chance to watch, Buc. You're right, Mizzou will not be a pushover. I think we will be able to beat them, as long as the coaches avoid our early season swoon and have the guys ready to play. Guess we'll see if the coaches are able to learn from the past, or as the old saying goes, be doomed to repeat it.

Of course North Carolina has problems to face as yet with the NCAA. Agree with you that the "spirit" was not shown by North Carolina. Be interesting to see how the new head coach does. With that said, hoping that Todd Gurley does not want to go through a rebuilding or not being able to participate in some major bowl during his collegiate career.

South Carolina losing coaches, Muschamp has his hands full at this point, Chizik might really be behind the eight ball.

Early season away game, brings back some memories of Colorado and what we did (or didn't do) out there.

Looking at the schedule, if this schedule plays out as posted, with the talent in Athens and some others that will soon be there, no reason for not returning to Atlanta.

My biggest problem with the schedule is this . . . we win out, all of the games, including Atlanta, might end up being a downer with the way the ratings are put together. Takes me back to Auburn and how they did not play in the MNC. Something called strength of schedule.

Not trying to dampen the thoughts of being a really good team, just reminds me a bit of Boise State over the years and how they are never quite considered for the MNC. Back to that strength of schedule thingy. . . . .

Might be a little too early to talk like this for some, just putting personal thoughts out and what might be.

Right now, hoping that our coaching staff is doing the things that are being put in print for all of us to read. Preparing this team to play at a very high level. Said before, Michigan State is coming to Tampa to play football, not go to the beach. Hope we beat the heck out of them, that would turn some heads, especially the Big Whatever.

Michigan State and Missouri have some similarities when watching what they have done on tape and TV scheduled games this past season. Both play hard nosed fundamental football.

Go Dawgs . . . Let us not repeat Memphis. Perish the thought.

At this point in college football I don't see an undefeated 2012 SEC team being kept out of the BCS Championship game. As there is always peaks and valleys in sports not saying it won't happen in a few years but right now the SEC reputation is too strong. Could be wrong.

We just need to beat MSU and start a 14 game winning streak.

Just had a flash pass the gray matter,we know what we have in CTG there is no question about this mans fire. Don't think with him on duty that our defense will ever look past anyone. Not in this man's mindset.

On the other hand our offense has at times drifted off course but luckly found it's way back

i.e. blew out Auburn came back and did a sleepwalk with KU. We were able to crank it back up for Tech and the first half of the SECCG. Were I am going with this is it seems here late in the season that we have a push/pull going on with the offense feeding off the sucess that CTG and the "D" is enjoying.

Our bowl game -Keep away from T/O's and our "D" will lead the way for a win."Go Dawgs"

The upcoming season will be a lot of fun to participate in on this board. Do know this, if we win out in the East Division, there will be some competition coming from the West Side.

bulldawg36869, on board with your statement . . . .

We just need to beat MSU and start a 14 game winning streak.

yd1, are you coming down for the game? Like to catch up on the few I owe you.
