Amazing what a year can do

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

A year ago right now we were finding out Croom was out as our head coach after a loss that made even the wooliest Bulldog fans think we would not win another Egg Bowl for a long time. There was practically no one on the roster who seemed to be an SEC caliber athlete except for an underacheiving runningback, Anthony Dixon. At the beginning of this season, most people on this board were suggesting that 4-8 was about the mark we were going to get, with a good chance of going 5-7 and an outside shot of 6-6. The difference between this season and Croom's 2007 season is that we never caught the breaks Croom managed to catch that year. Had we scored that TD against LSU and/or had that Houston game back, we would be speculating over bowl games. The saving grace is that our coaching staff can focus 100% on recruiting with a very high note set for in-state recruiting. We are a middle of the pack SEC team this year, given how except for Alabama, Florida, and Vanderbilt, all the teams are between 3-5 and 5-3. I just hope we're talking about a Peach Bowl or better this time next year.

I thought he was a good hire, but one year in, he's a great hire.
