Don't know about head and shoulders. Maybe marginally better. Didn't have a good QB. Had some good linemen and pretty good LB's. But both had to significantly upgrade the roster.

I don't think he was a good X's and 0's coach. I attended the 1974 game at LSU during his tenure and watched the Vols run the same pass play over and over. We had a 10-0 lead in the second quarter thanks to 4 LSU fumbles, but LSU made the proper adjustment and shut down the one pass play that...

We had a better shot vs. UConn than Purdue. Basketball is all about matchups and we did not match up well against very physical front lines. Every loss except UK came to a team with a dominant front line or dominant big man (KS, UNC, MSU, TA&M, USC, Purdue). The UK loss was a fluke with UK...

That won't happen. Probably a mid-major where he would be a stud. Maybe UT Chattanooga.

Not really. Probably pointed out to him that we are loaded at inside LB (Peli, Telander, Carter, Smith) and DE is stacked as well, so he wasn't likely to get much, if any, playing time on D. He would probably be relegated to special teams if he stayed. Great kid, gave it his all, but just too...

The way Cal recruits, he fields teams that have a large number of 1st year players starting. That really hurt UK the last two years because those talented freshmen were playing against 5th and 6th year seniors. That won't be the case anymore. So, I think UK would have been more competitive in...

Bama is going down in '24. Wouldn't be surprised if we upset UGA.

Probably like Huntley-Hatfield. Highly regarded recruit but wasn't missed after he transferred. Respectable stats at Louisville, but not a big star and his impact did not keep Loserville from ending up a distant last in the ACC (3-17). (I do believe Barnes could have given him a shot at the...

The view from the top was that KH was not going to be able to lead the Lady Vols to the elite level, as demonstrated with the talent she had and the success of the program under her. And if the program did not improve to an elite level, the legacy of the Lady Vols being the basketball program...

Classless and utterly stupid comment.

My son played college baseball. When he was a sophomore, 5 freshmen skipped class--a strict rule of the coach. That afternoon after practice, the coach told the freshmen to go stand on the pitchers mound. Then, he had the rest of the team run poles until they puked. The freshmen were crying...

Just saw the last few minutes, but Broome was absolutely awful down the stretch. If he played well...... Broome probably felt the pressure of March Madness for the first time in his career.

Diversify. The stock market has increased an average of more than 10%/yr. over the last 70 years. If you hold cash, its value has decreased by more than 50% over the same period. So, if you're able to stomach some volatility, buy the S&P 500 index or Berkshire Hathaway and you'll be far...

The rot is spreading. Why do you think so many people are leaving? Three somewhat wealthy west coast guys moved from Cali and joined my golf club in south Alabama the last couple of years. Why? They said they couldn't handle all the crap that was happening there--taxes, regulations...

The lesson: Don't hold cash. If you had invested in the stock market in 1933, $500 invested then would be worth over $7.5 Million today.
