    Ticket prices further falling for the both the Arky and aggy games on Seat Geek.

    Below $100 for a couple of cheap seats for the Arky game.    Not sure if they sold that low for the Sammy Houston game that regardless if we were #1 or whatever, no one would've given a rat's ass about. 

    aggy tickets are unfortunately going to be snapped up by aggy....

  2. LOL some of you all got it bad.  Sure it sucks, but most of the problems in the world come from misaligned expectations and it's pretty clear some of ya'lls were pretty dramatically misaligned going into a night road game against a team that has lost exactly 5 games since the start of the 2022 season.

    The Florida loss sucked, getting beaten pretty handsomely by Georgia should not have been a surprise.  Hell we lost by a bigger margin than last year's game vs them at home and frankly this one didn't actually feel quite as hopeless as that one did.  Maybe because it took them until the 4Q this time to put us away.

    Face the hard facts, we are just not yet on the level of the two dominant programs of the last 4-5 years.

    It's also that we got bombed by Georgia and almost lost to Mississippi State and Kentucky.

    It's not as if everything's cool if only we'd beaten Florida.

    If we beat Florida, we have a loss to the #1 and #4 teams in the country, both on the road.  Nobody would be thrilled with how Georgia went or the escapes at the other places (kind of like last year when folks were not happy with getting bombed by Georgia or the struggles putting away Vandy, KY, Arky etc....)  but no I don't believe for a moment the dynamic would be the same as it is right now.  

    And I should add, I am not saying the dynamic now isn't necessarily warranted, just that I think that is the result that is really at the heart of it.

    2023 UM would give our offense fits, but they would not bully our defensive front 7. Murphy and Sweat were not going to get pushed around. That game would have been a defensive slugfest, with our pass defense being the weakness for UM to exploit.

    We matched up way better defensively against that Michigan team than we did against that Washington team.  Agree that our offense would have had its hands full.
