I do think they could or should cut back to 154.

How about 60?

I think I might actually get interested then. I played and watched some baseball when I was young, but there just isn't enough on the line in any one game to get me excited. I know it won't happen, thus I will watch the occasional playoff or world series game, and that is about it.

Pro Baseball and NASCAR are pretty much off my list entirely. Just nothing to get excited about, although it might be fun to actually be on the front row of a NASCAR race. It just doesn't translate to tv for me.

They and Bama will get who they want. We can't compete with them right now, so we gotta do what's next best... beat Florida!

We gotta leapfrog the low, and then the mid tier of the SEC first. If we can do that, then we can get back to competing with the big dogs. We have a losing record to stinking Vandy this decade....Vandy 😢


Pruitt is hopefully building it right, and that takes time. I just hope, and I do think he can, get it done. He has a tough job, and he ain't gonna get much thanks for a few years.

To watch, you see more with football on TV than in person. Baseball the opposite is true. See more than a CF camera in person.

Hate?

Because i said we need to improve on throwing the ball downfield? Especially when the bulk of route concepts Chaney runs are downfield. Didn’t know that was hate.

I guess i hate our RBs too since i said they couldn’t pass block. Oh and i hate our ILB since they can’t cover anybody too.

If that were one of a few critical posts you made about JG, you might have some credibility. However, you have made so many of them since last Spring, that I don't see how anyone could take you seriously when you post about him. You probably have had some valid points but they get absolutely smothered by all the others where your bias is obvious.

Lol how am i hater? Like i said i can critique countless other players on our team and no one bats an eye. How come you didn’t come to the defense of bituli when I’ve been saying he can’t cover? Or what about Tim Jordan?

The South Carolina game was a problem because they played soft shell coverage the entire game until the 4th quarter. When they decided to sit underneath our offense couldn’t do anything. Vanderbilt played a lot of the same coverages against us that South Carolina did and it worked. So no I’m not going to apologize for including downfield passing in areas we need to improve in lol

Those Vandy and Mizzou games almost just need to be thrown out. The entire team limped into those games and played like garbage outside of a few big plays. Didn’t help that our OC had an eye on his next job by that point either.


But people give you crap because you never give JG any credit when he does something decent, because of the way you posted throughout last offseason assuming JG was a shoe in to lose the starting job and transfer, because you never admit when you’ve made a bad argument or gotten facts wrong, and because you sometimes act like you’re member of the coaching staff when you’re really just non-essential personnel who works in the building and gets tidbits of info through the grapevine from time to time.

If you had a little humility, you’d probably get more slack from people. But you come off as overly proud and stubborn and that, paired with your inability to show some patience and avoid hot takes, makes you come off as a petty hater at times.

Baseball - I am definitely in the 154 games camp. 162 proves nothing more and the quality of play is worse. The scheduling would be much better. I know only a handful of us on here are Reds fans. However, if you want to get a good laugh, look at their April schedule. They only have 3 - 3 game home stands the entire month. They even had to go play the Cards twice in Mexico before going on the current west coast swing which has lasted for 9 games. Will be much better in the second half of the season, but even if they had a shot for the playoffs they were behind the 8 ball to start the season from the schedule alone.

Reggie - one of my all time favorite Vol RB's. Sad news.

Returning production rankings for opponents:

UF - 26
Ga St - 28
USC - 45
Bama -63
BYU - 65
UGA - 69
Mizzou - 81
Vandy - 91
Miss St - 92
UK - 114
UAB - 130

All-in-all, teams that we would hope we can begin beating regularly, but have whipped us recently, are pretty low (Mizzou, Vandy), along with a mystery opponent in MIss St. It just sucks that UF returns plenty.
