Tennessee placed 6th nationally and 2nd in the SEC in the last Director’s Cup. The overall improvement of the athletics department under Danny White is literally quantifiable. But if you want to be successful in football, basketball, baseball, softball, etc you have to pay for it. Renovations to...

What do you want him to change and what is your proposed budget?

Yes, the naive negatives who oppose high ticket prices, talent fees, changing to higher-paying Adidas, etc are just insufferable. They live in some fantasy world where a school can be competitive without enormous resources, and feel entitled to unrealistically cheap tickets because that’s how it...

They beat Illinois whom we lost to, they beat Clemson...Kenpom has them 19th vs 20th for us. It's not a huge slight, we have pretty similar resumes.

You probably are not 6’6” tall. The physics of long levers that gives quarterbacks like GMAC higher potential arm power makes it more challenging to perform heavy bench presses. You had good power though, your one rep max would be about 300 or so weighing only 180!

Thanks for the info! I'm a bit surprised at the speed for both of them. That's really picking them up and putting them down especially for the 6'6"-ish GMAC.

For what it's worth, Saban hired Scott Cochran when he was just around 28.

You’re probably right. In Fulmer’s defense, I will say that he was not helped out by Mike Hamilton very much his last 2-3 years. Hamilton seemed to envision himself as a mini Jeremy Foley and publicly talked about how not winning championships was unacceptable, etc. Hamilton was, for whatever...

Great post! Most people seem to value their own liberty, but many do not value the liberty of others.

Well, he’s probably never had players repeatedly throw the ball away with such lazy, telegraphed passes before. And I’m quite sure he has never had a collection of players be so seemingly indifferent about leaving points at the free throw line. I’d say this will not be a very typical Rick Barnes...

Just as a thought exercise, if GMac had signed out of high school with Maryland, California, or some school where he would have started last year as a freshman, how excited would you be if we acquired him in the portal this December? Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele played at Cal as a true freshman...

Not sure there is a single alpha dog on this team.

Alabama had Ty Simpson, Austin Mack, and Keelon Russell this past year. All highly rated.

You could argue that Peyton played better as a sophomore in 1995 than as a senior in 1997. Certainly had better stats. It is a bit of a leap to use that as evidence that David Cutcliffe didn’t know how to develop qbs.

We should throw in Nico’s 2 million somehow, just to add to the circus feel of what this has become.
