I confess, I’m one of those folks Hairy Vols is talking about. While not ready to walk away from college football altogether, I decry the current state of affairs. Perhaps things will settle down with some kind of new regulation, I don’t know, and won’t guess. I’ll remain interested and see how...

Therein lies the trap of putting too much money into high school kids. You pay big $$$ for those 5 star high school recruits, bring’em on board, coach them up, provide outstanding development opportunities and they suddenly realize they’re worth MORE. They enter the portal and bail because they...

Joey…. No question. We had a helluva offense THIS YEAR. Add an even average defense and we’re going to be fine. Coach Joey up to become even a moderate threat to RUN… and we’ll be more than just fine.

Indiana is kicking ass with 16 out of 22 starters coming from the Portal. It’s all about the Portal. Player development will be done in Junior colleges, or small schools. Power 5 schools will BUY established players and not take a chance wasting money on high school kids who may or may not develop.

We’re living in a much different college football reality now than what most of us grew up in. No other way to explain how all the stars magically aligned to make Vanderbilt a 10 game winner, virtually overnight. This “ Portal crap” , PLUS millions of dollars troweled out to BUY a winning team...

I absolutely hate that NCAA Football has gotten so bad that this sounds like a “ fix”…😡. I hate it, but here we are. I agree with the idea of binding contracts, etc and hate it at the same time. WTF..??!! Frankly.. the closer we get to being NFL-lite, the more my interest in College football...

I believe I’m evolving to viewing NONplayoff bowl games in a similar manner. Since the inauguration of the CFP system, we’re in a different era, and priorities probably should adjust. I have always been pretty solidly against players “opting out”. Today, if we’re not in the playoffs, why not...

Exactly. They won yesterday… CA-CHING.. Kiffin collected a fat bonus, PAID TO HIM BY LSU. He gets check for every CFP game they win. IF Ole Miss wins the National Championship… Kiffin gets a million dollar bonus, on top of the per-game playoff bonuses. All thanks to LSU. Fascinating, huh..?

I agreed with the latest comment, and believe we need a new place kicker… UNLESS Max can be “ coached up”and develop over the offseason into a more reliable player at his position than we saw this year.

Can we get a show of HAND from anyone who hasn’t been waiting for this. Let him go, move on.

That was my original thought as well, in my comment immediately following the Georgia game. As I’ve followed this season my attitude regarding power 5 field goal kickers has evolved a bit. They have ONE job when called upon and that is to put the ball through the uprights . In today’s game… a...

In postgame comments on this forum, a lot of folks were pretty hard on Max. I was one of those who pointed out that the entire team bears the real responsibility for putting us in the position of having to rely on ONE FG to win. You know.. old school thinking..” We win as a team and lose as a...

I apologize, Sir. After going through so much commentary overall regarding our recruiting class, etc. my response sort of popped out on your post. I hope to see Legend Bey make years of contributions to Big Orange football but I’m not confident that will happen.

Ding..Ding..Ding..! Therein lies the dirty little secret ( that’s not really a secret…). Sadly, the days of getting all excited about how we did on “ Signing Day” are a thing of the past. How many of these potential star athletes we have signed will play out their eligibility for the Big...
