Who else saw the LSU win being so impressive and impactful when it happened? I assumed that would be a "ranked at the time" type of win and LSU would finish 8-4 at best.

Nah, I knew Kelly wouldn't have a bad first year. Too much talent down there and he's too good of a coach.

I would have ranked wins in this order prior to the season on how big they would be.

1. Georgia (defending champion, on the road, clear path to SEC Title game by beating them)
2. Alabama (defending SEC champion, Saban, ending the streak)
3. LSU (our next biggest road game of the season, a team I thought could win the SEC West or be in contention for it)
4. Florida (it's the gators and you always want to beat them they would be the other SEC East team to worry about getting to title game)
5. Pitt (first big road test and they were the defending ACC champs)
6. Kentucky (did come off another 10 win season, projected to be a threat to finish 2nd in East)
7. USC Jr (next best East team and on the road)

He’s built his own thing at Clemson, and I just feel like that’s his niche. He couldn’t do that at Alabama

Conference realignment may make Clemson less relevant going forwards.

 

[Vol in Tears]

I don’t think they will settle, in their mind. But my theory is they won’t get Dabo. Bama will hire someone else perceived as really good but it won’t work long term bc they can’t reproduce Saban’s results, which are now expected.

I expect them to take a swing at Kirby, but I'd be utterly shocked if he left Georgia by choice.

 

[Orange Studs]

Everyone likes this until our top players enter to shop themselves for money

Exactly.

Apparently Ole Miss just put $10M/year in front of Kiffin

 

[volbeast33]

Not sure how to feel about that..

Hooker was also involved in the dust up with Missouri after the last game. He doesn’t back down.

 

[LadyVolette]

Would rather him not feel the need to respond, but the guy did tag him...which is pretty much asking for a response since he was making sure Hooker saw the comment.

It’s kind of like on here when someone replies to you sometimes you can turn the other cheek and sometimes it is just not possible lol

 

[Jackcrevol]

I'll bet you do. It's REALLY cool.

However, I will show it to my son. Who will think its the greatest thing since sliced bread. Wearing his monster truck tee this morning & diaper, he was holding the monster truck toy I bought him Monday night. He also sleeps with it at night.

I am crying laughing

That's a man that loves him some Gamecocks. That's passion.

 

[Ttucke11]

Yes.
Now everyone plays everyone.

Until we get Oklahoma, Texas, Bama, UGA, LSU, Florida, Ole Miss, MSU same season.

I like to watch his videos sometimes. He's just a normal guy who loves his team. He hates the Vols but is usually pretty impartial when he predicts games involving Tennessee.

Interesting development here. Scroll down and you can see the screen shots. Apparently a dad of one of the players for SC tagged Hooker and said that Rattler has more arm talent. Hooker didn't take kindly to it.

I wish everyone would just STFU

Has a MJ being a psychopath and playing things out in his head for motivation feel to it… 450 yard game incoming

If I had my way. We would every season, along with everyone else.

Zero percent chance that Bama will get Kirby. Georgia is a better situation right now as far as NIL dollars than Bama.

I laughed a bit when the dad started quoting scripture about humility while sarcastically calling HH "young blood". Apparently during his study of scripture he missed Colossians 3:21 "Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged."

Hendon needs to learn how to ignore some things in public.

[volinbama256]

I just feel the opportunity to come back home and coach his alma mater will be too much for Clemson to over come.

I seriously hope I’m wrong though.

Why do you guys think Saban is going anywhere in the next 5yrs? He isn't retiring anytime soon...

 

[Orange_Crush]

Watch is be like a 9 game rotation conf schedule with permanent opponents, and teams like UGA and Bama get babied with their schedules.

You really think they wouldn't make Bama and UGA play us?

Did they change state law? I thought Mississippi had a law that state employees couldn’t make more than 4-5 million (can’t remember the exact amount)? Josh Pate talked about this on his show Tuesday.

Edit: went and listened to Josh Pate again. It’s not the money per year it’s that they can’t offer a contract longer than 4-5 years. Auburn is potentially looked at Jimbo type offer for Kiffin. Maybe not in guaranteed money but contract amount per year and 10 years.

 

[TheRain]

She's like a Bond villain.

 

[walkenvol]

Cause he’s looking old and tired. That’s a really demanding tough job, especially when you’re a control freak.

I could see them going after Urban

Well his current deal is 7.5 mil so....
