I know I’ll get lambasted for this, don’t really care. Freeze ain’t it, y’all. Quit thinking that he is. The guy is a pipe dream at best, first of all. You can’t take someone with that much sketchiness in his past and throw him into this situation (dumpster fire) thinking it’s the magic fix to go win 9-10 games. Anyone thinking that doesn’t actually know how the metrics of any of this works much less the politics of any sort of administration including this particular athletic department. It’s kind of nauseating watching it cuz it’s like you pine for something you know won’t and shouldn’t be here.

Trask is having a comparable season to Burrow if you extrapolate the numbers out. Burrow had more yards per game but most other numbers are identical. But LSU 2019 had a complementary running game. I’ve never seen anything like it. Absurd offense, And Coach O has it on record no less.. Wut lol.

I have to say that the receiver room at UF is way better than I thought it would be. I knew Pitts was really good, but Toney has been incredible and other guys have really stepped up also. I hate it when I have to admit that Florida is good.

The more I think about it the more I hope we try to get Bill O'Brien. Bill O'Brien did a good job saving Penn St when they were in the lowest position of any team in CFB history. I think he would be able build the culture here.

Whats something positive you have to talk about with this team?
Click to expand...
I don’t think there are many positives at all, minus the fact that there’s still a few of the players that are actually giving effort. I’m getting real sick of this monacre that I’m some sort of soft fan that just sees rainbows & sunshine here. We’re hot nasty garbage at very best right now and I, like most of you, am not happy in the least. So stop painting me into that.

Another reason I dislike Pruitt and I have said this 100 times. Pruitt has a Napoleon complex and thinks he's the smartest guy in the room. I don't think Pruitt purposely lost this game today, but I do think he sort of hoped Bailey struggled so he can say I told you he isn't ready, and that's pretty much what he did.

He is exactly like Butch in this respect. Butch thought exactly the same thing.

Om hired Kiffin while on sanctions from Freeze. Their issues were related more to having complete idiots for bag men and all around the shadier areas of recruitment. They simply didn’t know how to cheat very well. That said they are doing pretty well after throwing a very sketchy Kiffin into an even bigger mess while still on sanctions. Or did you forget about Kiffin pimping out our hostesses and wrecking with a car full of coeds? Or that Pearl just took Auburn to a final four.

I commented on that a few weeks ago. Shrout looks smooth as silk. Still want to see Bailey develop. He's got promise but I'd rather see Shrout in the present if he can be consistent.

He's always had it. He just needed the opportunity to play without expecting to be pulled out with one mistake. It's the same with HB. He just needs time on the field and in the film room. He's got it. I agree, Shrout is who they should roll with with an occasional series for HB like Phil used to do in his good days. If Shrout falters, in goes HB. That's how you build the the offense up instead of tearing it down weekly. Shrout has one more season, then HB is ready for 2022 on or if Shorut gets injured.

You use Maurer for RPO's only. He's too hyper to be a pocket QB. So he's your back-up for injuries or an occasional unexpected play like yesterday.

Jeremy did not have enough sense to play the guy his OC at the time recruited instead of Botch's failed holdover. It's really that simple.

We should have been looking at 3 winning seasons with less heartburn, but Jeremy...

Can you be more specific? Idk what/who you’re referring to.

Second half he’s like “there’s a Freeze Warning in Knoxville” and it threw the other guy off and then the sideline reporter was awkwardly like “yeah, it’s a little cold out here.” Sounded like Murray had perused our message boards and the others hadn’t.

Our administration clearly needs to take notes, then.

DM: “when we lined up right we played very well on D”



He’s harping on the organizational issues of getting on and off the field and lining up correctly and he couldn’t be more correct

Same. I’ll bleed orange til I die. I was born and raised this way. Anyone that says they want to go cheer for another team doesn’t need to be here anyway

Priest was complaining about the same thing on the defensive side yesterday.

We called 2 TOs on defense in the first half which is a pattern


DM hinting it’s because Pruitt isn’t running the organizational part of the unit in practice but when game time comes around is making all
The calls.



He has to make a decision about what he is going to be on D.

Anyone else think Pruitt rotates too much on D? I’m not taking about situational rotation between big boys and edge rushers. It’s seemed like at points this year, he’s rotated players every single play. UT has had less than 11 players multiple times and been caught not lined up multiple times.
