Hobbs being out and Moi getting hurt the first series had a big part. That banged up interior had a trickle down effect all season. We need guys like Hobbs Gilliam Campbell Robinson and Utley to have massive seasons, it all starts there

Yeah we got hit by some costly injuries. I'm not defending Banks either. That team just underperformed across the board. I mean Max single handidly cost us UGA. Bleck - moving on

Lol - & we got that antler spray

Somebody may have even dug up the peanut butter recipe they had them guys on in late 90's

We got big and fast quick. I know their spending big money on nutrition and supplements. You can only spend so much money on eggs and chicken.

I think they rounded up. I looked it up and it was around 7.7 but with 2 more wins from 2008 to 2020 it would be 7.9.

Just couldn’t let me believe could ya. Jk.

Really puts in perspective how short a timespan that was in the grand scheme of things. Versus compared to my own perspective, it was half my time as a vol, and the more recent half (of the years I can remember).

Yeah you’re right it really was just a blip.

Really if you look at our history 2008 to 2020 was SOLIDLY the worst stretch in our entire history as a program. It is the only 13 season stretch in our entire history where we lost more games than we won. Didn’t help that every one of our dang rivals won a championship(s) in that span as well.

Even so, looking a those other programs in that list, we are still in that upper tier of programs with Bama, Ohio State, etc. Even Florida is not there since they were largely irrelevant throughout the 20th century.

I’ve cut out nothing. Didn’t get enough vegetables as it was. If I get a months worth of diarrhea from a bacterial outbreak, at least maybe I’ll lose some weight.

I used to love chicken, turkey, pork and ham (yes, I know, they are the same, poultry and pork), but when you deal with cooking them day after day for 30 years and see the ugly behind in the back of the house, you eventually can’t stomach the sight of them. It really sucks around thanksgiving.


The main thing (like all veggies), wash them thoroughly before eating. Majority of people just give them a pass through running water, if at all before consuming if eating them raw.

lol. I know college and professional umpires. She’s a joke. Laugh all you want but she’s a dei hire.

If she is, I don’t know (I know I need to do my homework here), then she makes all of us that are female, take another step back from just proving our worth regardless of gender. Makes me sick. I’ve worked too damn hard all my life to prove my worth.

Serious question for you phone nerds. My phone has been glitching for a few months now. I keep blaming it on AT&T wanting me to upgrade now that my phone is paid for. I promise it’s not the old woman operating the phone. Today it went completely haywire and my battery keeps getting hot.


Yea, I pretty much know the answer, but crap on paying so much on phone and service and then it magically starts glitching when you pay it off.

Another option you might consider is buying a refurbished and unlocked phone from Amazon. My wife bought a Samsung there for somewhere near $250 that was a couple of years old and it works just fine. Being unlocked is a nice option if you're on the fence about carriers.

It still pisses me offf that the CFP made a crooked special-privilege rule that only applies to ND; if they finish in the Top 12, they automatically advance to the CFP.

BYU and Miami are supposed to be the only two "tests" on ND's schedule and sports articles are already declaring in advance that "ND can make the CFP with 2 losses."

ND's ACC games include the 4 lowest predicted-finish teams in the league. Not a single one of ND's first 6 opponents made a bowl game of any sort last year.

Thank you. I’m pretty much done with my iPhone and AT&T. I could go on about how I hate it, but short story, I’m done. Especially since it’s taking me 4 times to post this post. 😖

Orange, you, I and everyone else that has a brain, knows there’s been money that has been exchanged.

We have our qb 🤫.

My biggest question for this team is twofold: will our defensive line be able to a) get pressure on the qb consistently and b) hold up against sec lines for 4 quarters for 12 games.
Click to expand...
I think our DL will set the edge and contain QB’s and RB’s. I believe pressure will come from the interior and blitzes from LB and secondary.
