1000%. This country is corrupt. It's designed for the rich and powerful to control everyone else. Are there much worse places in the world to live? Duh. But this country wants to pride itself as the greatest in the world, and that's absolutely laughable. Americans as a whole need to wake up and see what's happening, and quick bickering with each other. Realize what the actual problem is.

Did you watch us play? A top DL in the conference. Beyond absurd. We lose D talent and a top defensive mind in the country and get better on D. I’m an optimist but damn....

Do you really think that Pruitt is one of the best defensive minds in the country? The performance of his defense the last three years would suggest otherwise. And, do you have any numbers to refute these? I hope that you post something so that @ChattaTNVol will bring his A game and make you look bad. Real bad.

Invol I make mine with say 1 part store bought, like baby ray's, 1 part molasses, say a cup and cup. Then about 3 tablespoons mustard, and a few tablespoons tobasco.

Something about that contrast of sour, sweet, and hot. Bad to the bone. I smoke alot and everybody digs it

We are a last bastion in the world for the protections of individual liberties, and that is just barely. Our government is rotten, but our people, resources, beauty, and opportunities are amazing. I believe we should be humble, so saying the greatest isn’t my favorite, but we are rare in our beliefs.

I work daily with international peers, and I can attest to the fact that the American form of freedom and Liberty is a very very foreign concept to those outside this country.

I usually make my own sauce but ran out of time. Ran to Kroger and got some sweet baby rays, kc masterpiece KC style and some sticky fingers Memphis style.

Stalled out at 180. Getting ready to wrap it.

I started using Stubbs bbq sauces. Different varieties and can't go wrong with either.

He could be right. I think Pruitt was a good teacher for what he taught but I think he had other issues. I’m not sure I would consider him a great defensive mind. Gary Patterson is credited with developing the 4-2-5 defense. Charlie Strong is credited with popularizing the 3-3-5 defense which was reportedly initially developed by Joe Lee Dunn, not a great coach, but apparently a great mind. Great defensive minds I think are those that innovate. jmo.

In one period offenses rule the game then some hot shot defensive guy comes along and figures out a way to slow the offense of the day. After that defensive approach spreads and offenses begin to slow some hot shot offensive mind goes back to the drawing board and comes up with a new way to attack the latest defensive philosophy. jmo.

It’s a never ending seesaw, just going back and forth. To be a good coach you’ve got to keep up with the times. They are a changing. To be a great coach, among other things, you’ve got to be able to innovate. To be a successful coach the easiest path is to have the best talent on the field. jmo.

I think with Pruitt and Chaney we may have been to some degree stuck in the past and the game was passing us by. Old school guys scoff at innovation as being gimmicky but in time even the best, i.e., guys like Saban, evolve. Only the most adaptable can and will survive. jmo.

We’ve jumped to the cutting edge for offenses with Heupel and now we’re going to find out what we’ve got with Tim Banks and co. jmo.

In the presser I watched recently with Kiffin this was something he was talking about, the wave of the future with offenses across the landscape of college football. Just today I was reading where Utah State has jumped on board. In reading the reports from their practices I might as well have been reading the reports from our own practices with regard to sustained fast tempo. jmo.

When Peyton left at the end of 1997 I figured we were in for a drop off. I mean we were losing perhaps the greatest QB of a generation. Guys like Peyton don’t come along very often. There’s just not that many of them. I was resigned to 1998 being a down year. I mean the Peyton years were fun while they lasted. I figured maybe in 20-25 years we can get back to those days. We just need to find another QB. jmo.

At the end of the 1998 season we had a houseful of people watching the SEC championship game with us. I remember thinking, you know, I may have been wrong about this 1998 season.
I’ll probably end up being wrong about a lot lesser things than some of the bigger things I’ve been wrong about before. I just think of it as creating teaching moments for myself. jmo.

Australia andNew Zealand both have much lower crime and better education Than the USA.
some corrupt politicians but not as many and they are held accountable much more often.
