Iowa and Tennessee are the only 3 loss teams in the poll. Look at the résumé’s and tell me who has the better one. They have closer losses to the top 10 teams they’ve played but a much worse third loss.

We would kill them, ville, uva, gt, byu, and pitt. But oh well, we pooped the bed 3x this season. Goal should be to climb as high as possible in the polls to make the window dressing more appealing

That was their claim to firing with cause. They never fired him. Kelly just pulled a Farris Bueller and skipped coming to the Alabama game.

Here's how it went:

LSU rep to Kelly: "Will you take 25 million?"
Kelly: "Get Lost."
LSU: "How about we pay you two payments of 15 million?"
Kelly: ...
LSU: "We know what you did last summer."
Kelly: ...

LSU: "How about three-fiddy?"

About that time it occurred to Kelly that the LSU rep was about 8 stories tall and a crustacean from the Protozoic Era.

The mafia and various mobs have declined greatly, mostly due to the RICO act. I'm not sure they still have a major grasp on Vegas like even 20 years ago. Now it's major international conglomerates, with zero welfare or citizenship within the city itself, a far more dangerous presence.

The good old days. When you could go to Vegas and they would rush to bring you a drink and make sure you’re happy. Corporate greed has ran that place in the ground. There are very few servers and water is $7.00 a bottle. I’ll never go back.

They should talk to UT's lawyers who worked on the Beldar Cornbread case.

In Beldar's case, he actually broke NCAA rules. If they can prove Kelly broke NCAA rules, they'll have cause.

I also contend it is still ludicrous that Pruitt has had his ban lifted yet we still remain on probation until the summer of 2028.

I don't have the tweeter, but if I did, I'd be tweeting DW about it.

"You show me the man and I'll show you the crime" is not how it works.

You'll recall Donde Plowman announcing the day Pruitt was fired that they fired him for cause. You don't get to fire someone and then go perusing the NCAA bylaws later on looking for cause. As someone said, no judge would stand for that. "For cause" implies it was the reason they were fired. Kelly was clearly fired for performance. They made that abundantly clear. No take backs

All that would happen is they would end up owing the original amount, while also dealing with the NCAA investigation they brought on themselves.

I think they should definitely do that then. Would love to see the corndogs poop in their own mess kit.

We also went to OT against a horrendous Mississippi state team and barely beat an Arkansas team at home. I’m not trying to be a debbie downer, but it’s time people stop acting like this team is good. We’re 2 losses away from being 7-5. One game is in Gainesville, which we’ve only won there 5 times. The other is against a Pavia led Vanderbilt team. I like our chances against Vandy, but we couldn’t even beat OU’s QB who is recovering from a recent a broken hand.

Needless to say, nothing we’ve fielded thus far impresses me and we’re honestly lucky to even be Top 25. So I think we need to stop caring about Iowa and start looking at what we need to do to avoid being 7-5. Because regardless of how much faith I have in Heupel, 7-5 in Year 5 is not a good look.

Last update on Pruitt's case was a judge ordered both parties to mediate and come to either a legal settlement or an outside-settlement which sometimes happens in such cases. The judge granted a preliminary injunction of his 6-year show-cause which typically suggests that he is likely to win his case on the merits.

I'm not positing any kind of opinion. Simply stating the facts of the case.

I get we blew our chance at playoffs but the rankings show that losing to three playoff teams is still going to hurt you worse than being Virginia and barely beating everyone on your schedule with two losses or a loss to a sub par team and no real big wins. The nine game SEC schedule is going to eat the league alive.

😰

Guess they’ll just have to expand the playoff to 24 teams.
