I don’t understand anyone’s surprise in Milton’s play and here is why: 2018-2019: Backup to Shea Patterson, played in 8 games, 6 for 11 for 117 yards, 1TD, 2 INTs, 2 rushing TDs. 2020: Benched after 3 games in favor of Cade McNamara. 2021: Transferred to Tennessee, named the starter...

Some good points, but I disagree with “Georgia is not a passing team.” They are not a deep ball, big strike team for sure, but over the 12 game regular season, they threw the ball more than we did, and had a higher percentage of pass plays overall (47.51% to 44.82%) than we did. Yes, Georgia...

Agreed, and I’m tired in general of hearing about our successes in the 90s. I’m a big Peyton Manning fan, but remember the justification repeated over and over by the media, “Peyton Manning was not even the top rated QB in his conference. How can you award him the Heisman Trophy?” (Mike Bobo...

100% correct. 100% correct. 100% correct. 100% correct One of my best friends is a Georgia guy (definitely not the typical Georgia fan) and a few of his comments/examples make a lot of sense. These are his comments/examples/comparisons, not mine: 1. Once you get a double digit lead if you...

Adding stats to support what everyone is saying, look at the Total Dense ranking for each team. No D = No NC 2022- TN (#1 offense)- Orange Bowl No NC. (#85 defense.) 2021- UGA (#9 offense)- National championship (#2 defense.) 2020- Bama (#2 offense)- National championship (#32 defense.)...

Look at how we’ve done since Fulmer has been banished. That speaks volumes.

For the 20+ years after his firing, Fulmer snaked and slithered behind the scenes until he became AD. Fulmer/Pruitt sanctions will be announced by the end of January, His hiring of Pruitt set our football rebuild back ANOTHER 5-7 years. Bring him back in 2028 for a quick on-field...

For me Martinez is a case of what-goes-around-comes-around. Years ago I laughed out loud repeatedly to my Georgia buddy with Martinez as their DB coach, laughing even louder when they promoted him to DC. Hopefully his stint in Knoxville is short lived. Expecting CJH to make significant...

Great idea/thread/bracket. If I’m betting, this year very little if anything would change. Georgia, Michigan, and Ohio State win their way in. At #4 it’s a TCU/Utah toss-up. In our current state, both mentally and physically, most likely we would lose to KSU. Regarding the actual bowls this...

One more year of pension (as mentioned above) is huge, as is getting to contract #2 a year earlier. 2022 Draft Last pick on Round 1- Lewis Cine, 4 years, $11,494,155 fully guaranteed. $5.5M in signing bonus. Last pick of Round 2 (#64 overall) - Nik Bonitto, 4 years, $5.8M, $1.4M...

LOL. Half the high schools in Tennessee could score 35 on Vandy. Pummeling the downtrodden Mizzous and Vandys of the world doesn’t help our case. We will be eliminated because: 1. At #5 in game 11, we surrendered 63 to an unranked opponent. That will be the mantra for every Tennessee...

So, Fulmer manipulates the boosters and administration and finally becomes AD, a job he is not remotely qualified for. His big hire is Pruitt. He lauds Pruitt endlessly and publicly as the savior of Tennessee football. He gives Pruitt a contract extension with no mitigation clause. Pruitt is...

Exactly and thank you! Everyone is speculating about last week’s events and the game like a damn soap opera. Come on! How can anyone think the reason we gave up NINE TDs to SC was because we were missing a LB, one player, an excellent player but ONE player. MANY top teams played sub-par last...

If you read the “With Vols now out of playoffs, I have a new rooting interest” thread, it’s immediately obvious we have a reciprocal fixation with Georgia. We are more interested in Georgia not winning than who actually wins the CFP. LOL!

Definitely not having a meltdown, but we were exposed last night: 1. I’ve said from Day 1, CJH’s coaching abilities are somewhere between Lincoln Riley and Mike Leach. 2. The window of opportunity for winning in the SEC is small and always closing. This was our year. We probably lose 75% of...
