Is it fair to judge people on the type of toilet paper they have in their bathroom? Is it similar to judging someone on what they do with their shopping cart in the parking lot?

absolutely, and where they parked. if they park in the fire lane or the pickup zone, i'm judging.

I don’t care if she’s got a cpap forcing marijuana smoke down her throat on a regular basis. I’m an advocate.

I do care if our athletes are not smart/practical enough to avoid run-ins with the law, and in the cases where they do that we don’t have the friendly respectful relationship with the law that some other places have where such circumstances are mitigated through communication instead of pursued through the system. I don’t like when are programs evidence a lack of institutional control, which is something that every top performing program in the country evidences.

Heupel's Offseason Beard said:
Sigh. Here we go again. Yes I have this saved just for guys like you. Once again here is what Heupel has had to recruit against.....

Five years of probation.
-reduction of 120 evaluation days throughout the probationary period.

-Reduction of 28 football scholarships throughout the probationary period, with a minimum of two scholarships per year.

-Reduction of 36 football official visits during the probationary period, including at least four visits per year. Tennessee will prohibit official visits for a total of 10 regular-season home games, four of which must involve SEC opponents.

-Reduction of 40 weeks for football unofficial visits during the probationary period, with a minimum of six weeks per year. Tennessee will prohibit unofficial visits for 10 regular-season home games, including four against SEC opponents.

-A 28-week ban on recruiting communications during the probationary period, including at least three weeks per year. This includes one week each in December and January, and one week between March and June. Remember when Lagonza Hayward said he decommitted because Tennessee didn't talk to him for a whole week? They literally couldn't because of the last coaching staff

That's SEVEN MONTHS where Tennessee hasn't been allowed to talk to or even text recruits over Josh Heupel's tenure. Also I'm not even including the fact that we had to pay a fine of 3% of our entire football budget which equals to about $6 million plus a penalty of $8 million.

Really try to absorb how this could affect recruiting. If you don't understand the importance of evaluation, official visits, or communication in recruiting, please ask questions. The fact that we have averaged 10 wins a season for 3 years after inheriting all of these sanctions from a guy who won THREE games his last season (worst season in Tennessee history) is astounding. Give it a little more time. Heupel brought us out of the ashes against all odds. I really think he's going to get it done here eventually.

The reason we have to keep pointing this out is that...

#1...Most fans are either stupid, lazy or ignorant..actually a massive chunk of ours are all three of those...and loud about it.

#2...They see a guy like Cignetti doing what he has done the last couple of years at one of the all-time dregs of CFB Indiana, and wonder why Heupel ain’t doing that...because...refer to reason #1..

#3...Fans are extremely spoiled and have zero patience or understanding of simple things like how having two very expensive NFL Cornerbacks sitting on your bench all year with injuries can roll your defense up from the flanks to devastating effects...they just say stupid asinine 🦬💩 like "Next man up" like it is some magic spell that fixes the problem..because...refer to reason #1.

Lot more reasons mostly having to do with fans being stupid moron idiot jerks...but I gotta work..

I didn’t think I needed to add “from years’ past” to the post because it seemed obvious, but apparently I was wrong.

Well you brought up if Oklahoma could do the "georgia model" on defense to contain our offense, but this year's OLine is better than years past too so...

The 2022 UGA front 7 was maybe the best front 7 UGA has had under Smart.

We shredded UGA's defense this year lol

Haha fair.

Venables and Smart both have solid reputations on the defensive side, but I think their approaches are different. Smart is less aggressive and wants to keep things in front of the defense. Venables is more exotic and brings more pressure. Smart wants to smother and Venables wants to blow up. Their schemes look different as a result.

OK has a better DL than UGA this year, and they have had more consistent LB play—though I think UGA has the best LB of the bunch in CJ Allen. Anybody in their front 7 might be coming on a given play, and almost anybody might be dropping. Coordinating blocking assignments (something yall did pretty well against UK, I thought) will be even more important.

I think you’ll get more cover-3 from OK. It looks like man against deep routes with a safety in the middle of the field, but UGA got burned in man enough on long, high-arc throws that I expect OK to leave a safety deep—the adjustment that led to one of the interceptions in your game against us.

With Heupel relying less on alignment and attacking the middle of the field more, you got fewer unique defensive alignments from UGA and will probably get the same from OK.

Just my $0.02.

Franklin was only at Vandy three years, though. At the end of year three for Lea, he was 9-27 and 2-22 in the SEC.

Lea also has the most veteran roster in the SEC right now. Vandy will take a massive step back next year without their seniors/super seniors and Pavia.

Vandy will crash HARD after this year

I don't have the same confidence I had Alabama week. Don't know if that's a good sign or not.

Alabama played solid defensively, esp in red zone. They limited the YAC, which we broke against Lube U.

I truly think they'll rush only 4, and be fine stopping the run with run blitzes. And force m2m making Joey hit receivers in really tight winders. Something we did against Bama, but often times for modest gains.

Can we run? Can we get a stop? I dunno, like Hubbs said, if defense cant get off field, crowd becomes a non factor.
