Seeing that made me remember the conversation 16 year old me had with 2 other like minded individuals watching the game who were impressed at the replay showing Roth’s perfect finger placement when he shot said bird lol.

It’s a weird song to even think of for stadium music.

All those teams had great multi-season runs during the Fulmer era though. The “sec was down in the 90s” argument is overblown

I don’t know, but I had never even heard of that until my kid just told me what it was lol.

92 pitches. Insane in this day and age.

It was late in the game against LSU. Student section was killing Doug Roth and he hit a 3 and promptly ran down the court with his middle finger in the air and got ejected. Tennessee basketball was so bad back then that it was probably one of the highlights of the season.

Today’s Aaron Boone ejection might be the worst example of umpire culture ever.

All timer right here…

Yep… More dominant and for a lot longer. And Annika was running hot about the same time.

I’m on board with anything that guarantees a night game in August.

Well… that’s kind of the goal when you’ve got a great defense.

Yeah… There clearly was a difference. Randy Sanders was actually an ok play caller, but there was clearly a presence that was missing without Cutcliffe. There was a slight narrative that Cut’s success was all about the Mannings but then he stepped back in as OC in 06 and 07 and Erik Ainge...

Syracuse and Arkansas maybe… but nothing really lucky about beating Florida.

The number of commercial breaks stay the same, but don’t let that get in the way of a good fan narrative.

“Built for October” has a huge sports narrative element to it. There’s no doubt that 2 hot starters can get a long way in the playoffs, but it’s still such a crapshoot that depends a lot on matchups.
