Boro has said in the FF that the team has players who love Butch and those who do not. It's pretty divided and I believe that 100 percent, you see it in the field and now with star recruits leaving. I agree with OG and others, when did this happen? Because at the end of last year we looked to be so united. I wonder if this has anything to do with the lawsuit? I mean New Years we were celebrating our bowl win and excitement for this season. Recruiting wasn't as highly ranked as the previous classes, but closed strong with some good gets at the end. Then boom- the lawsuit. And Tennessee football was the headline on major news outlets for weeks. And then what was starting out to be a potential number one class falls apart with Hunter and then Tee decommiting and deciding on Clemson. We all hoped that winning this year would fix all of this then much to our horror- the team has looked out of it all season long except for some last minute comebacks. Did Butch change after the lawsuit, did be become difficult to be around or change his off season rules with the team? Something or multiple things have obviously happened in the offseason that we don't know about. But it seems to all point back to something changing with Butch. And I can't forget Neuheisels comments which came out of nowhere at the time but are sure interesting now. Eazy, you have any idea what has happened?

It's not hard to recognize that baseball isn't the most popular sport in America and that many people dislike the Cowboys.

I have direct tv. I do the annual dance every year threatening to leave for free Sunday ticket. Now 9 weeks into the season and I live in Knoxville Tn I have yet to have to use the Sunday ticket to watch the Cowboys play. Even this Sunday against the Browns is the main game. Tell me again how we're not Americas team

Seriously? Game 6 of 2011 WS was better.

I'm a Cardinals fan but not a huge baseball fan, and I have to say that was seriously one of the best games in sports I've ever seen. It went to 11 innings, and I want to say Texas was 1 strike away from winning it at 6 different points in the game and STL won. STL came up clutch time and time again. That was a crazy game.

I get it Bruin. He just said it's pretty divided and I thought that was telling. He also was the one who shared with this board about the meeting last year after Arkansas and all the Crowder punching rumors. Some on here were even speculating Butch would be fired at that time if you remember. So it's not like he's clueless. I just care about this team, like we all do and appreciate any info as to what the hell is going on.

Maybe I'm waxing a little bit nostalgic but this whole Hurd thing has to be tough on CBJ. I recall reading that Hurd sat next to Butch on the bus before a game as a freshman and, evidently, Butch was pretty anxious. Butch later shared that Hurd told him, "Don't worry coach. We've got your back." And then fell asleep on Butch's shoulder. You know recalling memories like that have to eat you up when a kid leaves the program in that way.

This is why his stepdad needs to be gone/step away from VOL Nation.. There is two sides to every story, and stepdad (unintentionally) makes him seem like he's a brat from hell. He probably has not had the best family life.

A little distraction from all the other crap we've been dealing with this week...

The thought came to mind that it was about this time last year that Shields-Watkins field became a story for all the wrong reasons. Starting Saturday, there will be three straight games played on it. It'll be interesting to see if they've really got it straightened out, or if we see a repeat of some of the issues from last November.

Congrats Cubs fans. But damn this is going to be one of the toughest days of work in my life. That being said, dang my Tribe were gritty. Every sports team could learn from them. Nobody picked them to even win in the ALDS, and they were one win away from winning the whole thing. Took until game 6 and 7 of World Series until the lack of depth in the rotation caught up with them.

Whether Boro is full of crap or not, that is the story with every program, and it only comes out in hard times.

Should Saban have a couple of 7 win seasons, what tales do you think would creep up out of Tuscaloosa?

There have been players who were fed up with Butch since his first year on campus. As he's added high caliber talent, that number has gone up each year.

It is what it is.
