wow.

[ricepig]

So, you're saying there's a chance?

[cosmodrum]

[Jacob "2 Scoops" Johnson]

[bigbadhog]

Sounds about right.....

[Pyotr Tchaikhogsky]

No reason not to be optimistic.  Nowhere to go, but up.

[HeismanHawg]

That should be taped on every door way, locker, window and anything in sight where the players can see that everyday. If thats not motivation to improve I don't know what is.

+1.  I wonder what sports service arrived at these figures?  I guarantee you Arkansas will be better this year than that.

[Hoggish1]

Somebody just did us a huge favor!

[TNhawgfan]

Well last year they voted us dead last too. So...

[Wildhog]

POINT. ONE.

[PonderinHog]

So, if they increase our chances 100%, it would be point.two

OK...

[Wildhog]

Does this mean I can get the Hogs at 1000:1?

[Pyotr Tchaikhogsky]

Could be worse.

I have a 0.0000000005706% chance of winning the Powerball.

Only if you play, it's 0.0000 if you don't buy a ticket.

I think that was the same media member that voted against Tebow. 

1 out of 1200 works out to 0.0833%.

[NaturalStateReb]

This made me laugh.

State at 3rd in that list is pretty nuts, though.  They have a pretty sweet schedule, but I'm not seeing them that high.

This should tell you. They hate us.

Schedule has got to be why they're that high.

[oldbear]

I am absolutely certain this was scientifically done.  I think it is fun that we get picked last.  I don't believe we will be last this year or for many years after.  I don't believe for a moment that we will win this division this year, but I believe we will see definite improvement.  I am a fan of the team and our staff and believe we are recruiting better now than we have in quite a while. 

My glass is always half full.  Life is more fun that way.

[Arkansas Fan]

Sounds about right.....

Where your hero Petrino found himself, too...

[Ex-Trumpet]

So, MSU has a better chance than LSU?

[PonderinHog]

So, MSU has a better chance than LSU?

Yeah, until they play.

[MuskogeeHogFan]

Again, is anyone really shocked? No big deal. Guess who was picked to finish last in the pre-season last year? That's right, Auburn.

[Tequilin' Time]

So, MSU has a better chance than LSU?

right up until game time. 

[Wildhog]

It could be worse

Yeah, but we'd have to add a decimal place.

[Hog N Bama]

It's a typo right?

[PygmalionEffect]

So they gave us the % left over from rounding to keep us from being at zero.


Thanks.......... I guess

[The Kig]

Too funny... love the 3rd guy finally trying to figure out what is taking up half the space. 

[MuskogeeHogFan]

Point being, when there is so much that remains unknown at this point, these prognosticators can often be wrong. Not saying we are going to win the West, but a lot better than last year, yes.

[ricepig]

Ever seen a man flat on his back that didn't think everything was looking up?

[jbcarol]

Danny Sheridan was less optimistic but there's a chance

Odds of winning in Atlanta in December:

Tennessee -- 100:1

Arkansas, Kentucky and Vanderbilt -- 1 million:1


Win the SEC West:

A&M (15:1)
Arkansas (500,000:1)

[SemperFi]

Danny Sheridan was less optimistic but there's a chance

So, if I make a $1.00 bet and the Hogs win the Western Division Danny Sheridan owes me $500,000.00? I might just just drop $10.00 on the Hogs and when Danny has to pay me $5 mil I'm hosting a Hogville Pizza Party to celebrate.

These dudes are just absolute idiots and I'd love for the Hogs to win not only the Western Div, but the SEC if for no other reason but to watch these geniuses crash and burn.

[footballfan]

I see alot of anger on here, but which teams listed will we be better than and why? Don't just say "you're wrong!!! rabble rabble! You hate Arkansas! Rabble rabble!" Offer a rebuttal as to which of those teams we will finish ahead of and why.

It's more of a harrumph than a rabble.

I was mistaken and have been properly called on it. I salute you, and quietly bow out.

What makes them idiots?

My opinion and you're not invited to the pizza party......

I just don't know how anyone can lay down odds like that without a single snap in the 2014 season having been taken. Team chemistry changes just like the roster does every year. Injuries happen, teams step up and that's why they play the game and not allow some pencil neck geek decide the outcomes. Not calling for the Hogs to win, play or even be in the conversation for the NC, but I am of the belief that they will be substantially better in 2014.

[Al Boarland]

This is almost as embarrassing as our SEC media guide. It's by far the worst one out of the lot.

[HogFanatic]

They're basically saying that the Hogs don't have a prayer in any single SEC game this season. Not even one.

This is the most ridiculous "projection" I have ever seen.
Seriously? It's Alabama or Auburn - period? NO other team has even a double-digit shot at winning the SEC title?

Whomever the Pulitzer Prize Nominee is that wrote this gem needs to be canned ASAP and kicked in the arse on the way out the door.

Is the cover of the media guide that big of an issue?

I didnt get a chance to see it. Let me guess: there is either an eagle, a tiger, or gus on the cover.

Yep, Auburn's is embarrassing. Of course, Al would know.

OK...
And??
Are you differentiating yourself from me, as a Hog Fan?
That's what it sounds like and honestly it wouldn't surprise me.

Which team do YOU root for?

[Al Boarland]

Is the cover of the media guide that big of an issue?

No. It's just one more thing.
