If Flowers ends up playing ahead of 22 or even plays a significant role it doesn't make much sense that he didn't play very much at all the past two weeks. Seems like a missed opportunity to me

PS. 22 is Micah Abernathy

Well, it's true. Folks don't have to like it.

Well, now we actually have a coaching staff who knows what they are doing and I can guarantee you that if they had been coaching that game, they wouldn't have taken their foot off the gas like Botch did and we would have won. Who gives a rip if we won that or not, it is a new day, a new team, and most importantly, a NEW COACHING STAFF. GBO

Yeah idc. Saw a bunch of folks getting hype over this clip, so I wanted to check it out. Only to see it was based off a game we lost. That's when you know you're a has been. Winning will get that type of fear back.

The point is you have the first round draft pick talking about how loud it is in Neyland (along with Oklahoma team mates who made the playoffs that year and only lost two game, if I recall correctly) Our fans caused a major disruption. If we could do that with a playoff team, surely we can get in the Gators head with that kind of atmosphere.

This is so off the charts exciting !! Great job of recruiting by Coach Barnes and his staff. To offer a kid at 13 yrs of age after playing one of his worse games he has played, tells you the eye that coach Barnes has for talent. GBO!!!

No one looks at any stadium and thinks that. Are teams scares of going in Nebraska right now? No because they suck. Teams aren’t scared of the stadium at Alabama or Georgia right now.

But make no mistake about it, a crowd and atmosphere like ours definitely has negative effects on any opponent that comes here.

Until said opponent starts kicking the bejesus out of Tennessee

Yeah had some of the same thoughts in watching those games.

Pruitt could be doing a few things here. Teaching a long term lesson that you must compete every week whether your the starter or backup and every wk is a new week. Best way to do that is to show it's legit and so far it has been. He will start the best guy that week that has the hot hand in practice.

I'd probably say this is more of playing to a package. Jackson/Abernathy probably stick at S in Base package while Flowers comes in the Nickle/Dime sets to use what Pruitt says are the best ball skills on team. I'd probably agree with that. Jackson so far has been bette run coming up and laying the hammer and we know Abernathy not good as a deep Saftey vs a guy with arm like Franks.

One thing I think is clear with Pruitt. He is confident he can develop players in practice. I think there is nothing better than game experience but he seems to disagree. Case in point he mentioned that JG missing the 2min experience last Saturday didn't matter at all since they practice it so much. No reason to doubt him at this point.

I don't understand why anyone would argue with Chef, but I sure am glad they do. It provides entertainment and comic relief. I'm not sure of his status as a troll, but IF his statements on this board are to be believed, he is stark raving mad. The guy doesn't even have kids, but he's already fantasized about beating them with a leather belt and yelling at them for being gay. Additionally, I would argue that his penchant for publicly displaying his poo is just a hop, skip, and a jump from playing with it. I had a cousin who started down a similarly slippery slope with fecalphelia, and it all starts when you (1) stop seeing poo as waste to be discarded and (2) start to see it as something from which to derive happiness/pleasure/entertainment. Next thing you know, they're walking around with it in their pockets and putting it under their pillows at night. Viewed in this context, argument with such a lunatic would seem to be as futile as ole Blinkin's efforts in the gif, above. Of course the results are just as funny as far as I am concerned.

This seems to contradict your opinion that we have an alpha coach. The fact that you would say something like this about the team you support causes me to question my opinion that you're not a troll. Just hope you don't hurt yourself turning off your computer when we WTFA.

Do you think I was just making it up that he admitted to trolling?

I listen to The Solid Verbal podcast and this week they were talking a lot about new coaching hires and fits and whatnot and one thing they talked about was whether a coach is internally or externally motivated. They hit on one thing that a lot of great coaches have in common: they hate losing more than they enjoy winning. Talked about Spurrier and Saban having that trait and being able to hit the ground running fairly well in a tough conference after having no success in then NFL compared to Kelly who is likely in for a pretty rough couple years in a less competitive conference.



Obviously the amount of experience Pruitt has now isn’t really comparable to those other guys at that point in their careers, but Pruitt seems like he fits that mold of an internally motivated who’s more motivated by competition and a hatred of losing than by the rewards that come along with success.
