How strange is it that we've played a full slate of conference games and the only "like" opponents we share with Vandy are Bama and Kentucky? Darn near played opposite schedules.

Vs Bama = final score about the same. Vandy was at home (like that matters) and we were on the road:

We had 410 yards of offense against Bama. Vandy had 333. We turned it over one time. Vandy 2. We had 27 first downs and Vandy only 16. We were called for 10 penalties and Vandy only 5.

Defensively we allowed 373 yards and Vandy allowed 486.

Vs Kentucky = they won by 28 and we won by 22. Vandy at home and we were on the road.

We had 504 yards of offense. Vandy had 604. We had zero turnovers. Vandy had 1. We were called for 6 penalties and Vandy had 7. We had 24 first downs and Vandy had 29.

Defensively we allowed 476 yards and Vandy allowed 315.

Ultimately, we played a better game against Bama, and they had a better result against Kentucky. I think the spread is fair with us being at home.

The only thing that might be a big difference is boo was on our defense those two games. I think we are seeing proof in the pudding the last couple of games with him not playing anymore.

They finally green lit Rush Hour 4.

It’s. About. Time.


Not expecting much since we have too many soft ass people nowadays, I’d say most of the usual jokes will be dialed back a ton, BUT I’m glad they are bringing it back.

Now, if we can just get a third Ewoks movie, I can die happy.

Id just like to take this moment and recognize the real men of genyiss, at NCAA. Meatchicken, who stole signs and cheated on route to a Nat. Literally gave up NOTH-ING.

Tennessee, who paid players year before it was legal, and worked hand in hand with ncaa, even placing itself on probation.

Is on probation for three more years.

The absolute mental dumb assery one needs to reach the conclusions here are something.

The NCAA penalized Bruce Pearl and Kevin Sampson harshly and then made their crimes legal a few months later. They threw the book at Missouri over a rogue tutor and didn’t do anything to NC and their illegal class. The NCAA can kiss my azz!

This is the first time I truly believe we could have a National Championship Mens Basketball team... We got huge depth in the low post a shutdown defender on the perimeter and not one but two closers in crunch time...

Last two seasons I couldn't say that but we still made it to the EE...

This team is so deep.
Okpara, Phillips, Estrella, Carrey and you can get quality minutes from Brown. Each of those guys is a different body type and matchup.

Boswell and Abrams are + defenders.

Gillespie and Ament can get you a bucket.

Berg is experienced enough from his professional career in Europe that he will probably have a big game or two this season.

Tennessee is a -4.5 point favorite vs Kansas... Fatigue shouldn't be an issue, this team is so deep we should be fresher than Kansas. Another plus their 5* Stud Freshman is out with an injury ...

Something illustrated by this article, but not directly stated, is that investors get kick backs for donating for stadium projects and facilities. Not so much for NIL donations. And they aren't tax write-offs.

Column: FSU’s financial reality is the only reason Mike Norvell’s still employed

Tomahawk Nation, a Florida State Seminoles community

Sounds like FSU is in some trouble financially.

That’s not fully true about not being a tax write off. I’m sure they have these contracts wrote out in a way they are. I’ll give you 1m to come to tn. You have to show up to my car dealership 3 times a year for advertising. Boom.

Back when we could laugh at ourselves instead of getting offended. It was a better, healthier time.

This stretch for Vols Basketball:
#3 Houston (Vegas)
Kansas (Vegas)
At Syracuse
#13 Illinois (Nashville)
#6 Louisville

Combined record of 27-6 if my math is correct. All losses to ranked teams (except Syracuse lost to unranked Kansas).
Click to expand...

Yeah, seeing how we played Houston I legit think we could go undefeated during this stretch....probably won't, but boy imagine if we walk into SEC play 13-0 with a shot to tie last year's record of 14-0 to open a season?

(first SEC game is @ Arkansas on 1/3)
