in his interview he said he had added 16 lbs, but because of his height he said he couldn’t even see it.

I‘m pulling for all the guys, don’t care who wins the starting job. I do think there are only 2 options to open the season. Merck and Joey because of experience and body strength. I think with time, MacIntyre will become a great leader, but just not ready at this point. Best case scenario...

You could be 110% correct on the OL this year. However I remember all of the OLs there during the wilderness times, and they got experience (most stayed 4 years) but never improved. We are really only replacing 2 guys that haven’t started college games.

Your seat contract seems to be just like every other contract involving colleges, at least UT. The AD breaks them, the coaches break them, the players are now breaking them, and at least a few schools in the ACC seem to want to break their conference contract or the TV rights contract. The...

Spurrier and Fulmer were basically in another era of football. Money was not near what it is now. In the 90s there were only a few teams that actually pursued being a NC. Note the quality of coaches then vs now, facilities at schools then and now. Recruiting budgets. In a few years we...

Agree that Ga isn’t what they were, but I don’t think anyone will be at that sustained level. Well, until this current situation settles down and someone takes control. With the current opportunities it is impossible to build that kind of depth. When you have starting capable guys on your 2...

Based on their history I’d move Kiffin up ( Ole Miss in never before seen success, even with Archie), would move Lea up to #4 tier if he can sustain 6 wins at Vandy. Freeze had better pick it up or I’d drop him to tier 5. Best known at Miss and was only 39-25, a .609 winning % and bought...

And Hugh Freeze was a slam dunk hire because he had beaten Saban.

I’m sure you must have really despised Fulmer during his heyday of winning 10-11 games year after year. To all the non Vol fans he was leading a team of criminals and thugs. Constantly in the news for players getting arrested. Funny how a fan Sees their favorite team and how they see their...

Never played lineman in football, so I can’t put myself in their position. But the offense knows the snap count, and should be disciplined to hold until the ball is snapped. That’s why I got so agitated by all the pre snap penalties for the past 2 years. However watching the coaches reaction...

I agree that Tenn didn’t beat Ok because they just wanted to win for Heupel, but I think my definition of “intangibles” is underrated by fans, but it is what successful coaches have, that leads to continued success year after year. Even with the turnover in today’s game, it is the coaches...

Totally agree. If there were rules requiring a player to actually ”earn” using their name image likeness, and not just use that term, I’d at least have some respectability for what they could earn. Almost all of these players are not even known out of HS, other than their communities. Let...

Rivals, nobody but Kirby (I think he is an underrated X & Os guy) Nobody at Ala, Fl, Ky, or Vandy. This means I think Heupel should beat all of our rivals consistently based on average turnovers for both teams. Home field at Ala with DeBoer is a challenge. Nationally not many. The SEC probably...

You did a good job explaining what I was trying to say in my post above.

Just a couple of observations I see in these comments. First off, apparently only a small percent of fans understand the upper working of college sports. The AD is very important, but without the cohesiveness of the Boart of Trustees, School President, Chancellor, and AD, a school will...
