@BZSEC: Crazy that the SEC title game would be Ole Miss-Tenn. if the Rebels had stopped 4th-and-25 vs. Ark. and the Vols stopped 4th-and-14 at UF.

Oh the humanity. Would have loved the chance at OM. Especially the way our secondary is performing right now.

 

[logginlarry]

I have never understood how they got here in the first place.

Not that I believe they should be part of SEC, but new TV markets might have driven the decision (St Louis/KC).

Live with Mario? He was 27-47 in the Sun Belt.

Underwhelming hire would be an understatement.

Some bigger names would have to say no before they get down to him.

He was the top guy until Richt came available.

Strong has more fan support but alumni want a Miami guy if possible.

 

[Aesius]

I kinda hope Kentucky goes to a bowl game and loses to end up 5-8.

 

[PassedOutAwake]

Muschamp to SCAR
Smart to UGA
Richt to Maryland
Kiffin to Miami
Pruitt to Memphis

my guesses

And they are basing what 5-7 teams can go off of apr scores?

 

[I4Jay]

We are as good as every team in that top 10. No one in that top 5 can run over us. Arguably playing our worst ball, we lost to OU, Bama, UF & Arkansas on last possessions.

The future is Now.
We're here.

Nothing less than top 10 to finish next year

booked a (fully refundable) hotel room for the Outback Bowl in Tampa. Hope I haven't jinxed us!

Nick Saban pushing for Kirby Smart

This is Kirby’s defense,” Saban said. “I try to be a good graduate assistant whenever I can, to sort of help him out.”

Yes

With so many coaching jobs open how many coaching experts on volnation do we lose? Over/under= 0-0

I just accepted the job to coach the east orange 108 Lbers, so I'm pulling my name out of contention for the non power 5 gigs

 

[WesTnVol]

My man. Foot-n-door!!

 

[SaguaroVols]

I think if he trimmed about 10 lbs he could be a top 2-3 SS in the draft this year. That would probably land him around round 3-4 though. I think he's definitely staying

Yep I agree..very similar to Deone Buchanon of the AZ cardinals. Plays OLB on rushing downs and is a Rover/Safety on passing downs.

😂 :lol:

Na man it's only like an hour and a half to Orlando. You're good.

 

[Nashvegas31]

If I was a bowl rep, I'd be all over a TN/Michigan matchup. 2 teams with momentum and excited fan bases. 2 teams that should be in plaYoff hunt next year. That game sells out ASAP.

Agreed but doesn't mich vs Florida do all those things as well?

Let's face it florida has been much more a nationally strory this season than us

 

[jave36]

OV says coach Z is not going anywhere. I think he's the one that needs to go somewhere else the most. I suspect Butch's comments after the Vandy game about Coach Z helping punt returns has something to do with him setting up Coach Z staying

Yep. Someone with more football knowledge can correct me, but it seems like the WR weren't playing up to their potential for the 2nd year in a row.

 

[jave36]

Or he just answered a question. Z is always the one working with punt returners in practice vids. So it's not like he made it up.

I don't think he was asked, he volunteered it.

 

[SaguaroVols]

Not sure if the bowl game tie in is possible but what about Va Tech vs UGA?

The whole storyline of Beamer vs Richt?

I don't think Richt is invited.
