TALKING FOOTBALL
Here are the forecasts for 3 of the local college football teams.
1. Mississippi - The Rebels should have a big year. They are one of two SEC teams who have a proven QB. Florida is the other.
The Rebs have a favorable schedule with the toughies at home. The QB and the schedule should result in an excellent season in Oxford. Best case scenario 12 - 0. I don't think it will happen. 10 - 2 sounds right to me.
Danger games : Memphis in the opener, Arkansas at home & Vandy on the road.
Remember Nutt seems to come up big when exspectations are low & come up short when they are high.
2. Memphis - If the Tigers could win at the same ratio Tommy West is paid they would be a Top Ten team. West is the most overpaid coach in football.
The Tigers should win 4 maybe 5 at home but could struggle on the road. About 3 road wins is the most hoped for.
Best case secnario 9 - 3 Most likely 6 - 6
The Tigers will not make the Liberty Bowl but once again will be in a stinky toilet bowl.
3. Tennessee - Insane Lane roars into his first year on Rocky Top .Kiffin is lacking the most important part , a QB. Maybe a more simple scheme of offense will help; as will 8 games in Neyland Stadium.
The Vols could go 0-for the road. One road win is the most hoped for & a bunch at home. Best case secnario for the Big Orange is 9 - 3. The most likely finish is 6 - 6 .
Whatever the record Insane Lane , Coach O , & Daddy Kif should be a trip!! Don't be shocked to see Tennessee in the Liberty Bowl.
