Lets look back at the Coot's expectations for 2018 from FGF

Our Tigers are in the Clubhouse at 13-0, as expected. But what about the Coots? Did they meet or exceed the surely realistic preseason expectations of their fanbase? Lets rewind FGF back to the beginning of the Offseason and find out
I’ll say we go 9-3 regular season and win a marquee bowl to finish 10-3, and finish ranked in the top 15. I think our ceiling next year is 11-2, but if the cards fall our way, we could wind up winning the East and playing in the SEC CG. GA is ripe to upset, as they lose 31 seniors..
I think 10-2 is the next step we should be expecting. 11-1 is possible.. Most likely 9-3
10-3 including a bowl win. Loses to Georgia, Clemson, and one of the road toss ups. However we still won't be ranked in the final top 25 while a 5 loss team is ahead of us.
10-2 with losses to Jawga and taters. Schedule sets up well for us. Too many coaching changes to not take advantage of. Defense will be serviceable and offense takes a step forward.
10-2 at best...If we upset UGA we will lose to Vanderbilt or someone we are suppose to beat. If offense isn’t stagnant then this should be possible. Hopefully we stay healthy but injury bug always creeps in. Deebo has yet to be healthy for a whole season. Honestly anything less than 9 regular season wins with our schedule will not be progress. The year is set up great...plus UGA has to play LSU and Auburn. I like our chances to squeeze into a SECCG, although I don’t think we have the talent yet to beat an Auburn or Bama on neutral site.
I think we end up 11-2 with wins over UGA and a loss to Ole Miss (in Oxford) and a loss to the tilmonites. I will say, that if we get our offense straightened out we could be undefeated going into the SEC title game. I wouldn't predict it in all seriousness though. I don't know why, but I just get a feeling we will win the UGA game
If we can stay relatively healthy, and improve offensively, we need to take advantage of what should be a favorable schedule and go 10-2 with a chance at 11 wins with the bowl game.
I say we beat Clemson for certain this year. They do not have a chosen quarterback. Most of their receiver yard production is gone. They have no Tight end. Their running backs are below average. Their secondary is non existent. Their linebackers will all be new and inexperienced. With a little luck, I say we beat Georgia
BEAT KENTUCKY!
With that schedule, UGA at home, Texas A and M at home, a weak Ole Miss, Tenn and UF probably still down and a cupcake OOC except Clemson, anything but 8 wins will be a step backwards. Has the potential to be special though.

They are the most delusional fan base on earth at the beginning of the season and then they play a couple of games. They are happy beating the hapless zips and consider it a moral victory that we only won by 21. It really is sad.
Don't they actually get to play Bama or some other top tier program from the West next year?
MusChump said he had no timetable for turning them into a winner. I believe him.

The fact that he can say he has no timetable and get away with it speaks volumes to the dumpster fire that place is

I would ask you to post that on FGF, but the truth will get you ban from there. Oh well do it anyway, being ban from there is just like being ban from the RR tracks by the coot stadium!!!

My favorite is the one saying our RBs are below average
Dec 3, 2018, 5:36 PM

So far ETN has had one of, if not THE best season in Clemson history, and that's with getting limited snaps! ETN has split carries with 2-3 other RBs consistently and has rarely been used at all in the 4th quarters of our games.

Heyyyy but look at the good side, if we didn't have other capable RBs to lighten the load, ETN would have most likely already had and injury causing him to miss games. With his talent at the RB position, as we have, he probably came into an excellent position for a RB of his caliber!!! It allows him to stay fresh through the whole season without being over used!!!

on Joe Morrison for this one. I laughed out loud at just how pathetic it is..."After back-to-back 8-4 season in 1987 and 1988, expectations were high in Columbia for the 1989 campaign."
"Gee guys...maybe we can even win NINE games next year with the man in Black coming back! Bwahahahaha

How were you to know they'd wuss out of the Marshall game due to a hurricane? Otherwise you'd be spot on. Nice job.

They could go 2 - 10 next year if they upset Vandy and Charleston.

I can't believe they forgot to mention the number of THUMBS that they would receive in 2018. 3 THUMBS in a single season is record-breaking stuff, and should not be ignored.
