SMU has great uniforms.

 

[BigZiti09]

He's 2-15 in ranked vs ranked matchups.

Pretty sure over half of those losses came against teams that had seasons like we haven’t seen since 2001.

This narrative that “we aren’t firing Butch for Morris/Norvell/Venables” is a failed argument.

We fired Butch because he didn’t cut it. We can still hire a tier B dude and be great.

Hiring is hard, very rarely do teams hit a homerun.

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Bielama looks ridiculous in some of these jumpsuits he likes to wear. He looks like a 400 pound pear.

 

[chavisut]

UVA has some excellent uniforms.

Agree. Would still prefer to think about Patterson or Gruden until our season is actually over.

 

[Smokey123]

That throw by the Virginia QB my goodness

 

[gordonr24]

Memphis outscoring SMU 31-7 since that early 10-0 deficit. Say what you want about Norvell, but Memphis' offense is a pleasure to watch.

And all the dumb sportscar analogies don't fit when the cars can pick and choose where they want to go.

Bielema is in his Fat Elvis phase.

I think and hope Matt Luke stays at Ole Miss. Would think he’s not the sitting SEC coach we might be interested in but he has some ties to UT.

He's connected to Freeze. OM is cleaning house.

 

[MrVolton]

Ok, still a terrible stat. I don’t care if he’s at MSU. Campbell is doing better at Iowa State

9 of those losses have been to Bama. And I'm sure one of them was Auburn the year they won it all with $cam Newton. Might skew the stats just a bit IMO.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Just making sure you morans understand that just because someone brings something over to the board doesn't mean they put much credence in it.

Most are to Bama and LSU. One to Arkansas, a few to Auburn and A&M, and a few to Ole Miss. GT in the Orange Bowl as well.

 

[seaofORANGE22]

I will say that Mullen needs to lose the gloves he's wearing. That's weak.

Would you rather have a coach wearing those gloves or a coach with the first name Dino? 😜

 

[jave36]

Go Virginia. Go Michigan. I want CFB chaos.

 

[RockyTop85]

Maybe. He’s an alum, and a Cutcliffe protege. He’s done a decent job there and they may have a hard time finding somebody better with that investigation looming.

 

[IhateGA]

what is memphis without ferguson

It doesn't matter, because Memphis has Fergusen, A guy that Norvell went out and got and coached up. I don't really see your point.

Haha the gloves. Dino Babers shouldn't be given the chance to sniff a fart in Knoxville IMO

 

[VolGee4]

what is memphis without ferguson

What was Fuente without Paxton Lynch?

Fuente lost to UT Martin in his first year.

 

[Sugaray13]

I think there’s only about 4 great coaches in college football period.

Saban, Dabo, Peterson, and Meyer.

Then you have a handful of really good ones

Jimbo, David Shaw, Patterson, Mark Richt, James franklin, etc

All the rest are inconsistent or unproven.

Honest question... are they that much better than everyone else or is it their position coaches that makes the program what it is?

 

[Vols4us]

Some of you are hilarious on the Mullen hate. MSU just played their guts out against Bama and nearly pulled it off with far less talent. Now they are on the road in bad weather against a physical team and because they fell behind in the first quarter, Mullen's not good enough. Get a grip. They proved they are well coached team by responding to the punch.

 

[BigZiti09]

Yes. For the most part I like when stuff gets brought here even if I don’t buy it.

The only way to keep up with all this stuff is by seeing everything. If you miss on something then you just end up catching others opinions on that thing you missed.

Like Dale Jones last night. Some dismissed it as fake. If it had not been brought over we wouldn’t have verified it and it might have been ignored or discounted. Tons of examples like this.

Some of the stuff is so silly I just have to roll my eyes but I appreciate all the info.

Exactly. Also has coached up arguably the best WR in the country, and he's a walk on.
