Also, UCF will play (likely) in a BCS bowl game while Florida will not play in any bowl whatsoever.

Whoever made that preseason bet is sizing up which island to buy right now.

Who made that bet?!

Speaking of saban, here is a Texas joke --

Man from Texas was up visiting his cousin in Tennessee. And they were out for a drive along a country road. And across the road runs a deer.

Texas: "what was that?"
Tennessee: "that was a deer"
Texas: "you serious, man? In Texas, deer are waaaay bigger."

Tennessee man says nothing and keeps driving. They get on down the road apiece. And across the road slithers a rattlesnake.

Texas: "whoa what was that?"
Tennessee: "that was a rattler"
Texas: "no way dude. Snakes in Texas are so much bigger than that."

Tennessee man glares at his Texas cousin but keeps on driving. And a few minutes later
across the road crawls a decent-sized turtle.

Texas: "ha. What was THAT?"
Tennessee: " a tick"

Call me crazy but one of my biggest hopes out of this recruiting class is that we actually a develop a legit weapon at tight end.. we haven't had one in so long.

Agreed - that will be nice. But Mychal Rivera set records in 2012 for UT tight-ends, so it's not been that long?


Personally, my biggest hope is for a whole bunch of high motor, extremely disruptive defensive linemen. I remain surprised that Corey Miller's 6.5 sacks are the most by a UT player since 2005 (I think).

I did not realize that cincy was 9-2.

They played an extremely weak schedule, and their 2 losses before last night were to a 4-8 Illinois team and a 2-9 South Florida team.

I started following them when I saw they were winning, for fear I'd have to start filtering through posts on VolNation about how Tubberville was doing better at Cincy than Butch did.

Thankfully, I determined their results aren't all that impressive upon closer review.

I think most logical fans would realize that Cincy success is a good thing. It means butch can build a program with long term success not just a lucky season here or there. Tubby is a dang good coach so it should be easy for him to pick up where Butch left off.

Wow Peterson took washingtong gig. Interested to see if Wilcox next move. Sirmon already jumped or told Sark he was to USC but guess could always change.

I'm often happy to have a different view than the majority. Dobbs did fine and can do better. He was also not healthy and his plant leg had been bothering him. They just didn't talk about it. Kid was getting treatment nonstop, had no TE, Tiny letting DE's go to block down on a guard on passing plays, and absolutely zero outside threat. Croom isn't an outside receiver and should be eating the middle of the field up looking like Vernon Davis.

Good post.

We are in agreement on Croom - been saying it all year. Still get PO'd that Jake didn't see or want to do that. Put North and Pig outside and Johnson/DY inside with Croom as the Davis clone. Stick with that for more than one game in a row and play them until their tongues hung out to get them experience now and for next season. Trot Downs out there to mix in a blocking TE some. When they fell over from exhaustion take the best couple of pass catchers, not necessarily route runners, and put them in for a few plays. Would have changed everything on offense and they would be bowling right now IMO.

I know I have not been a big Dobbs proponent. It's because I know he is not better than Worley as a leader, decision maker, and passer at this stage as well knowing from reports at practice Fergie is the man. With Dobbs I see the wind up and the pitch back there along with typical freshmen issues relating to pocket presence, decision making, and locking on primary receivers. However, that does not mean he cannot take a huge step forward this off season and become the man. He gained some great experience and has the wheels to be a Tee.

Washington gets the biggest up grade perhaps in college football history after having their coach bolt for another college job!!

I have no idea whether Dobbs is our best QB after watching our last two games, with North out & Croom going down, and then D. Young apparently becoming our top receiver vs. KY!

I'm looking forward to open competition among our 4 QBs next spring with receivers that can actually catch the ball. Let the best (young) man win! :peace2:

Tubbs was a good recruiter at Auburn, but that's Auburn. Cincy is a whole different situation. Crazy to say that Butch is probably a better recruiter, so it will be interesting to see how Tubbs does in a couple of years, especially if Gran leaves.
