Ole Miss vs Oklahoma - who we rooting for?

I think I want Oklahoma to win to give ole Miss a second loss, with the hopes we can handle ou next week. It would also give us a ranked win, which we don’t have.

Counter argument would be an Oklahoma loss means they’re not that good and makes our gsme next week seem easier. They do seem to have figured their run game out.

Don’t be a tease! I’m not sure what argument you think you avoided, but I’d love to hear it.

I don’t disagree with anything you said fwiw.

Referencing your last paragraph, I’m sure that’s true. Not sure what the point is though. I don’t really go in the baseball forum outside of baseball season typically, as my focus is on the in-session sport, and admittedly I did not go in there before Tony, because I didn’t have much of a history of fanhood tied to the program. The extent of my tenn baseball fanhood was we would go during college with a cooler of beers because it was free and nobody cared. We had fun. Can’t say I knew any of the players names though. I’m getting the feeling you’re saying people like that should stay in the other forums, which is kind of my point. What’s with the segregation? It’s an odd phenomena. I get that notion if people pop into a forum only to be negative, but when thats not the case, why do people shun their fellow Vols and other programs?

The last part is for individuals to answer. I can only speak for myself on that topic. I shun no sport or forum...I post in most of the forums even the FF 😳

With FA promoted to interim Head Coach, I believe it will be a couple of weeks or longer before we hear a announcement of the new hiring..

If I heard right, college baseball rosters have to be set by December 1. So, do you let CFA set the roster (he knows all the players) or hire a new head coach (who doesn’t know the players) and let him set the roster.

Hopefully Elander just knocks his Interview out of the park and gets the job...

It’ll look like this but it’ll have our store name on it. You don’t see em around too often to be honest. For the regular lineup they have, I highly recommend 1910 if you like lower proof and 1920 if you like higher proof

Agreed, the 1924 10yr is most times my go to sipper at 100 proof. Incredibly flavorful for a 100 proofer. We have like 4 on our bar at any given time. If I see one at or close to MSRP, it’s coming home with me. Huge fan of anything Brown Forman

Ironically I didn’t really enjoy the 1924. But I’m a proof whore so 100 proof doesn’t do much for me

Now KoK otoh, sheeeeeeesh

My only complaint with the 1924 is the massive price hike from the rest of Whiskey Row series. Nearly double the price of 1920. Otherwise, I agree it's one of the best 100 proof pours out there. Also enjoy the OF 100 proof SiB picks, but don't see those as often as the barrel strength picks. Just picked up a JD Heritage here in VA and was impressed with that as well for a lower proof option.

would expect a whole bunch of recent former, and very possibly current college basketball players to be arrested as a part of this scheme as well.

I agree. It also wouldn’t shock me if the same guy that got into his former boss’s face after a game over what was allegedly a minor recruiting incident might also not be the easiest guy to manage as an AD.

I also remember hearing that Tony was annoyed at the fanbase for not being more outraged over the Osuna ruling. I remember thinking: “D**n, Tony. This has happened to us in multiple sports for what seems like forever. We only got so many mattresses to burn!”

We definitely made a stink about Osuna.

Gonna be funny when TV turns out to be a legit manager in MLB. Will put to rest a lot of this nonsense.

I hope he kills it. I am a little skeptical as the skill set as a college head coach and MLB manager are light years apart. I would be more confident if he were going to transition starting in the minors. But that being said, I hope he's a rockstar in the majors, he has the personality.

Flawed logic. They are just as good as they are currently even if they lose to ole miss, not better, not worse. Also, it puts more pressure and motivation on them to win if they lose and become a 2 loss team hunting the playoffs like us.

GO SOONERS! FAHK KIFFIN!
