How awesome is it to have a stud interior pass rusher in Hobbs in the line up now. It was beautiful watching him push the pocket and affect the QB. Total game changer he is.

My concern is Bama will max protect with 7 and let their 3 WRs run routes against our soft zone, because they know we don’t cover the WR when he enters the zone for that defender. We won’t be able to get home with 4 if they do that.

I still can't believe that Bama is crying and blaming Fulmer for the Albert Means debacle. Jackie Sherrill (Mississippi State), Houston Nutt (Arkansas) , RIp Scherer (Memphis), Jim Donnan (Georgia) and Phil Fulmer (Tennessee) all reported wrong doings to the NCAA. Stating Lynn Lang (Means' H.S. Coach) want $200K for Albert Means to play for a school.

But to this date there is zero accountability for wrongdoing by Bama in the eyes of their fans. It was all Phillip Fulmer's fault.
Lang brokered a deal with several Alabama boosters in the Memphis area where he received $30,000 from the boosters. The remaining $170K was paid after Means officially signed with Bama.
Lang demanded $6,000 in cash from a Kentucky booster in the presence of a Kentucky assistant coach Claude Bassett for Means to visit Kentucky.
In similar fashion Lang received $4,000 for each visit he arranged to Georgia and Alabama.
Jim Donnan gave Lang $700 out of pocket.
Rip Sherer promised free law school tuition.
Brad Lawing (Michigan State) said Lang demanded $200K to play at MSU, and that Lang would repay $50K that had already paid for Means.
Houston Nutt stated that Lang told his assistant coach that $200K was required to secure Means' enrollment.
Albert Means testified in Lang's trial that he never took the required standardized test for college admission. Means went on testify that Lang had another student take the test for him.
Federal Prosecutors provided evidence that Lang tried to sell Means to eight schools:
Alabama
Arkansas
Georgia
Kentucky
Memphis
Michigan State
Mississippi State
Tennessee
But because Fulmer testified, it's al his fault. Zero accountability for the Crimson Tide.

GENERAL ROBERT R. NEYLAND’S GREATEST PLOY

In 1928 a then young Neyland challenged national powerhouse Alabama (winner of the 1925 and 1926 Rose Bowl) to meet his unheralded Vols in Tuscaloosa. In the greatest (and perhaps first) opponent psych –out move ever , Neyland went to the Tide locker room minutes before the game and in full earshot of the Alabama players told coach Wallace Wade that the game would be a rout .He suggested that in order to hold down the score, that the last two quarters be shortened. Wade replied that Alabama did not plan on running up a big score , but agreed to shorten the last half if Alabama’s lead justified it
( just imagine the instant loss of mental edge by the Alabama players) .
Minutes later, Volunteer halfback Gene McEver returned the opening kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown. The Tide trailed at halftime, Tennessee never lost the lead and won the game 15-13. [ adapted from THROUGH THE YEARS WITH THE VOLUNTEERS by Tom Siler ]

Happy Friday

October 17, 2025: As God softens your heart, you will be more sensitive to those around you and more willing to help where you can. The Lord wants you to see others as He sees them, and to have more compassion instead of criticism. You have not yet walked a mile in their shoes. Be kind. Ephesians 4:31-32 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

The difference between us and everyone else when it comes to these kids health is monumental. Jam was out cold...and rushing him back is dangerous.

If he plays, it is a win at all costs and risking the kid immensely. He is dealing with a collarbone issue too.

Our defense may not be the most sound this year, but they are very physical. I can’t imagine this kid getting hit by Farooq, Boo, and the entire DL have hit people at points this year. It could really be bad for the kid.

I wonder if DeBoer is playing games with the injury report. I’ll be interested to see how he is listed tonight and then tomorrow 90 minutes before the game. I’m gonna guess he’s playing a game and will be ruled out, or he is downgraded to questionable and a gametime decision, then we never see him play.
