We hear this every year.

Might have already been mentioned earlier, but Miami can offer the warm weather and beach a few blocks off campus, as opposed to an hour or so drive. Only worth mentioning because Florida has to compete with FSU and Miami, and even USF, UCF, FIU, and FAU have a lot to offer recruits. The...

Plus, Dooley was hilarious, sometimes even on purpose. Dooleyisms: Memorable sayings from former UT head coach Derek Dooley - YouTube

Am I allowed to try to stay on topic, or do I need to call someone stupid instead? I think Butch's recruiting has been overrated. His best class was loaded with Vol legacies, which was a smart move, but doesn't make Butch a great recruiter. He was the beneficiary of good timing, being in...

Barry Switzer was an excellent college coach in his day :) It feels like the time has passed where Gruden would be a realistic choice, but he's still only 54 - which is shocking to me. He could coach for at least a decade and still be reasonably aged for a head coach. Currie should at least...

Anthony Parker and Turk McBride joined my friends playing basketball in HPER one day. Not sure how many people remember Parker, or McBride for that matter, but Parker was a nice interior lineman at UT. McBride played DE/DT. Both guys were huge, but Parker... well, I'll just quote his NFL Combine...

I don't think anyone will be as toxic as Art Briles.

Oatsvall may end up being a great player, but he doesn't appear to have offers from Middle Tennessee, Memphis, Western Kentucky, Vandy, or any other FBS school aside from the service academies. Butch isn't the only one who is passing. That said, Dan Mullen just had a great quote after a...

Does anyone remember a thread from when Butch was first hired, quoting Cincinnati fans? I haven't been able to dig it up, and at this point I'm not even certain it's real. What I remember is that someone pulled a few quotes from the Cincinnati board. The one that stuck with me was that Jones...

Tough loss. Florida could stop the run without committing too much safety help, so our passing offense couldn't get going either. That's just the state of our offensive line at this point. Have to hope our line play improves, and that future opponents aren't as good on the defensive line as...

I feel like this is a failure of the pre-draft process. I'm fairly confident that draft advisory board and other reputable sources told Tiny that he would be a relatively early selection - no later than third round. Now we're mid way through the sixth round and he's still on the board. While I...

We actually lost to LSU by 2 points in 2010. I'm not surprised we all blocked out that loss, though. It was 31 points in 2011. So 2, 3, 1.

I was so astonished by this stat that I decided to check it against the Rivals ratings. They're slightly different, but still reflect decidedly bad recruiting rankings. Let's not forget that no matter what you think of the Big 12, Kansas State just demolished a fairly impressive West Virginia...

It's a lot easier to lose games that you're favored to win when you're favored to win a lot of games, and Fulmer's teams were definitely favored to win a lot of games. It should be easier to win a game you aren't favored to win when you aren't favored to win a lot of games, and Dooley's teams...
