That's awesome I didn't see that. I bet the Gameday sign police got that down pretty quick.

It was in the background for a solid 5-6 seconds, IIRC.

It was up the whole show if I remember correctly.

That's plausible. However, when you're debating which ESPN analysts are vastly more knowledgable than the others I don't see what evidence you'd examine other than their statements on College Gameday.

The same set of data that says that CPF hasn't won the SEC in 9 years says he's won the East 4 out of the last 7 years. The same data that says he has a losing record against Richt and Spurrier says that he's dominated both recently.

Both sides have "faith" in something based on which direction they think the facts are pointing.

utmba just admitted he'd rather post hopeful garbage than logic. That's idiotic. I'll give the Vols credit when it's due. He has now stated he will not discredit the Vols when that is due.

BS is BS by definition.

Well-stated by a truly objective poster.

Seriously? Are you satsified with being wrong?

[OrangeEmpire]

UTMBA93 believes the 2005 team should have played for the National Championship with a 5-6 record.

[ut 4 me]

Is it just me, or would it seem like you would get more satisfaction out of winning when you thought it was a for-sure loss?

Gameday has already been back to Knoxville. I don't know how many times exactly, but I know they were there in 2004 when we played Auburn at home and got drilled. That is the year Auburn went 13-0 and got cheated out of playing for the NC. I will never forget that game. I was so sick of hearing war eagle!

i was actually thinking about that game last night(i was at it too). and that led me to think about the last time we beat auburn. i could be wrong, but if i ran the schedules correctly through my head, we haven't beat the tigers since 1999. am i the only one who finds that unsettling?

would you rather me say what you call bs isn't bs at all? Did you really not have an understanding at what I was alluding to? Do I need to explain it?

Very unsettling indeed. I live among the Auburn faithful. How many times have we lost to them in a row?
