I mean I don't disagree with VolGee4 that it's frustrating, I get that. But unfortunately in this day & age it's par for the course. Take a page from Peyton's book and just don't bother with social media.

Change of pace gambling question


I think the total in the SEC title game may be 80.

What do you guys think the total will be ?

Well I have news for you...I hate to tell you but it IS my team. It is my university that you are playing for, where I spent four years of my life getting my degree and paying them my money… Actually, I had to pay them over 10 years to pay off all of my student loans, while you get a free education to play football. Since it’s my university that I am an alumnus of, and the team you are a part of is a team carrying my university’s name, then it IS my team, too.

Friend and Graham to USC? Pruitt must be out the door for sure if that happens. Fulmer might just be encouraging these folks to bounce to lessen buyouts. Hope that’s the case.

Would be good.

I would also suspect those who don’t leave will be retained till a new coach is hired to give them the opportunity to choose their destination, releasing them from buyout money, if that’s hire it works

You missed my initial point then. I'm saying that a large portion of the fans who aren't putting in the blood, sweat, and tears the players are would without question for the same benefits those players receive from doing it. He's painting with a larger brush with his retort, a good number of the fanbase have put in work to play football some didn't have the talent to do it at the next level so they hung it up, some still played/walked-on. I know quite a few VFLs that put in the same amount of work as any other players have while paying for their own way and walking on just so they could run through the T.

I guess we're different though, cause someone outside of where I work criticizing my work wouldn't even get a response from me. They just aren't worth my energy.

And my point was that paragraph one still doesn’t mean he can’t be upset at the constant criticism that comes in waves. It’s just human nature, and virtually everyone doesn’t like it.

In fact, get to paragraph two and make it a hundred people per day as opposed to one.

Much less I think (put the over at 60). Bama's D has been unimpressive at times but perhaps they have the athletes to get pressure on Trask while containing Pitts and Toney. Think maybe Bama will slow it down on offense a bit to avoid an Ole Miss style shootout which is about the only way they'll lose.

Same. I posted this at the time but spoke to a guy here in Columbia who others claim to be connected to USCe. Couple weeks ago maybe?

Said Beamer HC. He also said Garrett Riley OC and Charlie Strong DC. Guess we’ll see.

He said the same names, but it was not finalized then. If it works out their O is going to sizzle and Charlie probably has enough left in him to get the D to middle of the pack. I need to check with my friend later this week and find out for sure.

I don't think Florida scores a ton on Bama. Bama has the best defense in the SEC right now they are top 5 in every single category and Florida is one dimensional.

Let's say hypothetically that losing to Vanderbilt would guarantee that we clean house (JP and his staff).

Why would I not want Vanderbilt to win the game? A meaningless loss in a season that's already a dumpster fire is not going to change much. Keeping CJP another year will have a massive impact on the program. I look at it like NFL teams tanking for a draft pick.

I'm genuinely interested to hear why people think us beating Vandy is a good thing, and have an issue with those who want Vandy to win.

You have to be assuming that there is a pool of BETTER coaching options and that we have the resources to acquire someone out of that pool. Why should we believe that the money is there to do that? A few whiffs cause somebody else has more money and a few more coaches use us to get a raise and we either hire another high risk coach or even worse have to go to an interim from the staff for a year. Either way we lose our quality staff members if we do not run them off with pay. Anybody that thinks things cannot get worse under these conditions is just wrong.... Don't know the odds but doubt they are very good to get better.

I really believe the money play is to plan on coach for one more year, get all the talent in here we can, hope that all kinds of lights go on and he turns out to be a good or better coach. If that does not turn out to be the path, then go through the change with more money and less uncertainty next year. I have always hoped, not projected, that he has been in a learning curve and will turn the corner. Bet he has learned about assistant hires already. Everybody needs to holster their guns till next year and let the results determine our future path.

So..... you’re cool with losing? Knee jerk here maybe but imma need this to be your last year in the program then.

We have a loser mentality... Our seniors have a losing mentality and it trickles all the way down..
would it kill for just one player to come out and say "losing is unacceptable, we need to get it right, get with it or get out"
We'd be doing cartwheels if a rumor came out that Player A punched Player B in the mouth because he wasn't playing/practicing right..
