That’s fine but what he did at Florida was one of the worst coaching jobs I’ve ever seen. Spurrier won 11 games 3/5 years he was there. He took over a very good job at South Carolina. They panicked after they didn’t hire Tom Herman (thank god btw). He will he fired this year or next.

Maybe, but there's panic every year and the other 2 couldn't pull off an initial hire.

Close. I had one, who I had dated briefly, (and apparently she somehow made a copy of my housekey during that brief time), come into my bedroom in the middle of the night and slash my clothes and the clothes of the girl sleeping in my bed. Also slashed 3 of the tires on my truck. I never could figure out why she didn't slash that 4th tire.

Thanks for admitting I'm right.

Actual proof of a restraining order isn't hearsay.

In the end, either the coaching staff and Fulmer think he's too much of a loose cannon, based on a history of violence that they know more about than we do, and he has to be dismissed, or they think it's just anger management issues that can be helped through counseling and he remains on the team.

You're wrong. Actual proof of a restraining order only proves that someone said someone did something so that is only hearsay even if there is a restraining order. The rest you are correct on.

Nothing about what happened here makes the crazy stuff the other girl claimed, more true.

Not wasting time. You gonna stop posting her claims, that you have no idea about validity, or do I add you to ignore with half the board that already has?

I'm trying not to, but have been scrolling past any responses to him after the first couple because it's like the song that never ends.

I don't like that UK gets an off week before hosting the Vols in Lexington. Hope we don't overlook them.

Interesting that Vandy scheduled ETSU the week before the Vols at the end of the year.

I think both of these late season games will test whether Pruitt can keep the team focused and improving. Both of the teams have a schedule advantage (off week or cup cake leading into the game). It would be unfortunate if Pruitt is putting together a decent season and then TN stubs its toe against one of these two teams.

We will learn a lot about BYU this weekend. Interested to see how they play v. Utah. If they pull that upset I bet we have some worried Vol fans going into that game....

DICKSON: It's always a big game, but BYU-Utah this year is ... BIG

If they pull that upset, they themselves would be due for a flop (at least on the books). If the barely lose to Utah, I’d be super nervous. If they beat them or get destroyed, I’m still slightly worried but have us beating them.

Observing behavior is a side hobby. Keep thinking one day I'll get why he is the way that he is, just different than others "trolling".

But I've come to the conclusion it's as simple as loving to argue and going against the crowd just gets him more suitors.

Rather boring but the most likely.

Team success shouldn't be the driving factor in "roster talent" imo, but I guess I'm that weird guy that takes into account all the other things that go into winning.

I've seen us lose a lot of Florida games because a single officiating mistake, more goes into winning and losing than roster talent. It's why I can't throw these highly rated HS players from Butch's era under the bus as simply being "bad" since so many of his players are in the NFL doing well now. Hell I think a few have SB rings even already.

They spoke about Fields in the VQ Tuesday Podcast. Said they had heard from practice insiders that he is similar to Harrison .. in that they have had to slow him down to keep him from hurting his own team's players. VQ said they were having to train him NOT to get called for targeting. They seemed to be saying that he has passed Tank McCullough. Said Fields could contribute this year.

Lololol I read this as Justin Fields and Bailey Harrison until Tank.

sorry for all the posts, but this is the first time I have really analyzed our schedule compared to how our opponents schedule breaks down right before our game.
This season seems to be the first in a while where we have so many games that fall in the "potential win/ possible win/" category (BYU, UF, MISS STATE, USCjr, MIZZU, UK, VANDY). There is really only two games where a loss is most likely (BAMA, UGA). And only 3 games you feel very confident in (3 cup cake out of conference games). Just a large variance in possibilities from 5-7 to 9-3. Really could be anywhere in between. It's exciting and terrifying all at the same time.

Intangibles played a big part in out 2 big wins against Auburn & KY last year. I believe we had a bye week before Auburn and they had a bunch of locker room turmoil going on when we played them. KY had just come off that miracle win against Mizzou and took us lightly (even though we beat them every year).

This year MSU and KY have bye weeks before our game which is not good for us.

Assuming since our AVG. PROJ. WINS is 6.2 that'd put us at 6-6, Oddly enough he has us at the same Wins as USC, more than Vanderbilt, Kentucky. If I'm reading the tea leaves right, that'd mean 6 wins and the USC being a toss-up.
Click to expand...

6.2 wins puts us at 6.2 wins, 5.8 losses. Or even 5.9 losses. I know FPI gave us 7.6 wins and 4.5 losses (12.1 total games), giving us a very small chance to get to Atlanta. Not 6-6. Just probabilities, he isn't rounding trying to give a black and white prediction. Just like before when his model had us at 6.5 wins, it didn't mean 6-6 or 7-5, it just means what it says.

Individual games aren't given binary outcomes in these projections, just given percentages. I'd imagine a fair number of our games are within the range of being a "toss up" 40-60% win probability.
