There was one political commentator I used to read who said whenever someone asked him what fascism was like his reply was "Imagine living at the airport".

Don't mess with Ukranians...

We're playoff bound if he comes back next year.

Lol, remember when John Henderson and Albert Haynesworth were our DTs, and Henderson was the calm one. Those were good times.

My view on Heupel is he's clearly shown his ability to get a team to play above their talent level. Even all the talk this year about people 'figuring' out his offense with multiple deep safeties doesn't make sense to me. Tennessee led the SEC in scoring with a transfer QB from App State, going...

There's 4,500 Division 1 players (about 1/3 of them) in the transfer portal. There are no ceilings or floors at this stage.

I was the exact same way. He's the best option but I didn't think it would happen. This hire should scare the whole league. CJH isn't playing around.

Lol, Heupel got fired after finishing 21st in the country in PPG. Banks finished 92nd this season.

My biggest concern is we haven't really figured out the portal. We got boat raced by Vandy because they had like 50 seniors on their roster. 10 years ago, I'd have said that once our young team matures we'll be set. Now I'm not so sure. It will be a dogfight (i.e. cost significant NIL money) to...

That was my first thought as well. When you can win a national title with Ed Ogeron as your coach, you can do anything.

Some day we’ll figure out that pouring money into high school recruits is trying to play yesterday’s game under today’s rules. Why pay for potential in a sport where every single player is on a one year contract?

Agreed. 2 coaches over 33 seasons from 1977 to 2008. It doesn't get much more stable than that.

Great post. Remember the OSU fans were calling for Ryan Day's head less than 12 months ago in the middle of a national championship season. Given they didn't even show up for a home playoff game that was clearly more than just a fringe part of their fanbase.

CJH has repeatedly proven he can field competitive teams with a roster that has issues. It's amazing what he's done. The question now is why is he building a team out of a pick-a-part junkyard in year 5? If he figures out how to assemble (and keep together) a deep talented team with very few...

I suspect we'll never find out how deep it goes. The pro leagues do everything they can to bury these kind of scandals. Tim Donaghy, Pete Rose, Ohtani, all seemed to go away with a very limited scope. I never really bought it. This one feels different but I could still see some kind of...
