I'm worried about tonight's game big time. They'll show up wanting revenge. Their easy win last night may work in our favor. A&M offered little resistance. My gut tells me that the SEC would love to see a Vols and Cats matchup. I'll be interested to see how they call the KY game tonight too.

I am more concerned about which team shows up tonight. The one that can dominate or the one that doesn't finish a team off and then gets in danger of losing.

DT had a decent overall season last year, but he is just absurdly inconsistent. Consider his sacks:

6th in the SEC (8), but he had 0 sacks in 9/12 games and he had 7 of his 8 sacks in just 2 games. He has the ability, but has to bring it every single game this year. Being beside some VERY fresh DEs this year sure won't help though. Cue prayers for Solomon once again.

I agree. hopefully he's consistent this year. There's no doubt he'll be better under these coaches for a second year. We need Solomon to be eligible.

My mom is having a very serious complicated surgery at Vanderbilt. She’s been in surgery since 0700 this morning. Waiting room has one TV. We asked someone to change the channel from HGTV to the SECT. This one lady 50 feet from the TV with a laptop and muthereffing headphones on stands up and says she’s watching that so they wouldn’t change the channel.

I’m about to get arrested

Hope your Mom's ok.

Thanks @butchna 👍🏽 I just didn’t know if he was actually good or if he was just being recruited on his length and potential alone good stuff.

A redshirt and some physical building up with Mendenhald, and we’re looking at a 3-4 year core piece imo. Hubbs was remarking on VQ about his handle and shooting fundamentals. Also Devonta Gaines is in the 6’9 area and not an iron hands either. Skill and reach.

BS.

I know we're getting our teeth kicked in with Saban there every year, but you don't just change a tradition like that.

If they want to keep it at 8 SEC games per team per year, then just flip the Arkansas-Mizzou/A&M-Carolina games to be Arkansas-Carolina/A&M-Mizzou. Those do make more sense, because Arky and SCar came to the SEC at the same time, and A&M and Mizzou have their Big12 history.

Personally, I'd like to see us bump it up to 9 conference games, and then everyone has to play 1 P5 OOC (already enacted, I think this is the last year that was grandfathered in where a team or two doesn't). To make it all more palatable, make every year have 2 bye weeks. "Championship Week" can be pushed back another week for all I care.

This would allow for the carousel to go back to what it was-- 1 permanent cross-division rival, and a rotating league home-and-home schedule like we had before the latest expansion. I haven't done the math, but considering the pre-2012 plan had 3 cross-division games per year and allowed every 4-year player to visit every SEC stadium, it should still work? Or almost work? A 5-year student should definitely be able to visit all conference destinations, at least in theory.

I want every team to have a geographic P5 OOC at the end of the year like Georgia/GT, UF/FSU, Kentucky/Louisville, Carolina/Clemson.

Tennessee: either UNC or preferably VT
Mizzou: Kansas
A&M: Texas
Auburn: Miami
Alabama: Oklahoma (we wish, they'd probably argue for Tulane or Troy)
(Auburn and Alabama would probably still want the Iron Bowl to be the last regular season game, but maybe their OOC P5 permanent rival could be the week before, instead of both teams beating up cupcakes)
Arkansas: TCU
LSU: Oklahoma State
Miss. State: Baylor or K-State
Ole Miss: Texas Tech
(Same plan as Aub/Bama, probably)
Vandy: who cares, Purdue, Wake Forest, whatever

idk, just daydreaming over here. I'd like all these match-ups, this year, the last five years, and for the foreseeable future.
