Drive thru your neck of the woods a lot. I refuse to go through Chattanooga and Atlanta on my way to Auburn to visit some grands. Leave Maryville area on 411 to Rome and latch onto 27 all the way to 85 14 miles from W of Bama border.

Actually take AL 53 as a shortcut from 411 to 411 as odd as that sounds. Takes us to Buc-ee’s at Calhoun as our halfway stretch and OTHER old age stop.

Gotta love the Englewood speed traps and Benton is looking to ticket folks also.

Scouts are pegging Omar Norman-Lott as one of the top draft risers. They have one question though, why didn’t he play more? I wondered the same thing. Was it CRG love for BigO, was he in the dog house? He did seem to do a lot of immature things, but definitely should’ve played more snaps along with Tyre West IMO. I remember games of not seeing them two at all

ONL played all 13 games and West played in 12

I think that's a super weak argument.

The old argument was good. The players were more than temporary contractors. Rivals were actual rivals, and the illusion wasn't shattered by one player leaving and playing for that rival the next season. You could get emotionally invested in the team because you knew the players would be around for their entire career, minus slim exceptions.

Can't make the old argument anymore.

Agreed. I find myself losing some level of interest in CFB because of this. Hell, I used to visit this site religiously for every whisper of rumor about any recruit we were in on. It simply doesn’t matter like it once did. You’re recruiting your own roster season to season now. Kills some of the joy for me. And I have no problem with players getting paid. The portal is what has caused the chaos.

How many times did you check the PFF scores and saw them play 13 snaps? It was frequently

You said you didn't see them in games. Maybe they no showed in those low snap games. ONL is one of the most undisciplined players I've ever seen at UT. Really good but does a lot of stupid stuff.

Right on.

Pearl really struck me as a punk the other night. His players were punks, overreacting, fouling without being called, shaking their heads "No" at length at calls that didn't suit them, enacting all sorts of over-the-top fake-innocent pre-madonna gestures when they did foul. Pearl also seemed to have invented the basketball version of the fake injury time out.

Also, wasn't Pearl obviously trying to upstage Kim Caldwell for attention really in terribly bad taste? If Pearl's grandbaby was born in August, why trot her out exactly for Tennessee night when Caldwell's newborn son has been in the sports news?

Let's not forget the FAA having to turnaround a flight mid-air and return Pearl's team to Auburn in November because of player altercations and behavior that "could have gotten serious." Keep in mind that in the state of Alabama, accessory to murder is not "serious" when a basketball player is involved. I really actively dislike Bruce. And his son.

I saw that no sooner did the Birmingham officials swing our game to Bruce in the final couple of minutes the other night, than ESPN suddenly published a story claiming that, in their opinion, Bruce is the leading candidate for coach of the year.

I don't care if fans loved him here back in the day. I dislike him now.

I worked with him during his UW-Milwaukee days and didn't care for him. When he took the Tennessee job, I struggled supporting the team because of my distain for him. I also think he knew he wasn't the big dog on campus like he was in Milwaukee because Pat held that crown.

What was he like when you worked with him? What did you do with him?
