We haven't trailed since 4 min left in the first half against Kentucky. It'd be nice to finish this game off and make it 3.5 straight games.

I think having a massive collective chip on it's shoulder is exactly what this team needs to succeed next year. They sure didn't deal well with the championship expectations last season. Too many got the big head syndrome, and I think a few pressed too hard.

I'm kinda thinking this too. On paper, this team might have a little less star power than we had going into 2016, but it wouldn't surprise me if they play better as a team.

My only worry is that the pressure might get to the coaching staff a bit and I worry how they deal with it. Hopefully having an Alpha personality like Scott at OC helps out with that.

Our shooting didn't do us any favors. Have to put game away at 19 point lead.

But refs did everything they could to make it even.

Refs allows them to play much more physical in the second half and called everything on us. Changed the total complexion of the game.

Not all bama fans are jerks. Dang it.

My son just opened his door and hit the truck next to us. It has Bama plates and a Bama sticker.

I get out and he is wearing a Bama hat. He sees my Tennessee sweatshirt and says you are an SEC guy, we are all good here. No worries.

I've noticed that the farther away from home we are, the more inclined I am to get along with a Bama/Florida/Georgia fan.

If I meet one in Tennessee, I kind of groan a bit in my mind.

If I'm on the west coast and meet one, it's kinda like "ok we're both SEC guys at least."

If I meet one in Japan we might as well be cousins lol it's hard enough to find football fans over here, let alone SEC fans.

This is why I dislike basketball. Refs totally changed the game in the 2nd half. They countrol way too much of the outcome.

The problem with that rational is that they don't even include the full quote. Not even a full sentence of the quote. It's blatantly deceiving if not dishonest. It's picking words from someone's quote and making it say what you want it to say.

I've come to accept it that that's the way the media operates. It's who they are. No integrity. But I'll never accept it that fans would do that to their own team. Most teams, certainly ours, have enough legitimate things to criticizes w/o fabricating stuff. I guess I don't understand what the word "fan" means. Or maybe those type don't.

The 247 article I read gave the full quote.

But Butch obviously wanted his message to make a good soundbyte and headline.


He knows that recruits and their families often like hearing things like that, even if CFB fans and pundits snicker at it.

Offensive goal tending has occurred in 4 straight games - no calls.

But this L was on our guys. FT's and lay ups. Hubbs disappeared.
