Lane,
It is the SEC. Um, yeah. This isn't Oakland. You need to win more than a couple games OVER AND ABOVE North Texas, Tennessee-Chatt., or Louisiana Ragin' Cajun. This first year isn't going to be fun for you. Think about that before you take on Spurrier and Meyer.
Oh and I almost forgot. You play in front of about 105K for home games. At least win at home so you have some friends.
