Nah, you'd just blow $9 million on hookers and blow and we still wouldn't have a result. Heh.

Possibly. I just haven't heard or read anywhere that he did. Put it this way: I've never heard Nick Saban say anything, offer any insight, that I hadn't already heard or read from dozens of other leaders--from all walks of life, particularly the military. Not putting Nick down: he just...

I don't think Josh Heupel is influenced much, if any, by Nick Saban. His inspiration and development go back to his father, Ken Heupel, a college coach himself. And his mother, Cindy, also a community leader: principal of their high school, I think. And then later with his wife, of course...

I think he's off by one game: Oklahoma is a win. Go Vols!

That's when leadership is at its MOST important. But at that point, it has to be instinctual, ingrained. You can work at leadership during the week; in the heat of battle, or in this case on Saturday, it just has to be there.

For me, it'd be: UNC NC State Va Tech FSU -or- Clemson -or- Ga Tech (none of these gets us into new markets, but all fit the culture and existing footprint nicely) I really like the idea of expanding the SEC into North Carolina and Virginia. I think we absolutely belong in both those states...

One would hope that each contract is performance-based. So if Nico, for instance, fails to attend required meet & greet events in Knoxville, he forfeits the corresponding percentage of that year's deal. And if he skips town, clearly not intending to make future sessions, that is breach of...

You should never, ever, under any conditions, be happy or smug or appreciative that bad things are happening to lads in the Vols program. Get your "I told you so" joy elsewhere, please. Go Vols! (and I'm not even one of those people you were targeting...just want you not to find pleasure in...

Different strokes for different folks. I'm really looking forward to it. Always wondered why we never played each other. They're a little brother, just like Vandy and ETSU and UT-Chatt and Memphis and MTSU and all the rest who live in the greenest state in the land of the free. Go Vols!

Syracuse, like many other mid-tier Power 4 programs (looking at you, Pitt and Iowa and Texas Tech and Oklahoma State and West Virginia), can make some noise from time to time. They can have a good year. Once in a while, they get a special player (Jim Brown, Donovan McNabb) who bumps them into...

Thrilled that we're going to play each other. Amazes me that this will be the First Time Ever. Wouldn't mind moving the game to Nashville, new NFL stadium, under this modified agreement: "You wanna play in Nissan? Cool. But we're not paying you anything. You willing to give up the $600k...

OP, you say "non conference schedule is weak" as if it varies wildly from year to year. It really doesn't. It's always three powder puffs (usually 2 G5, 1 FCS) plus one FBS peer that might or might not be a challenge. Some years, that;'s an Oregon. Sometimes, it's a Virginia. Either way...

*watches 7 little ducklings follow McDad around the joint* You're probably right.

Standing Tony's corner this strongly, and going out of your way to say his name seven times (all advertising is good advertising, eh?), I'm going to take a guess that you are one of the following (in order of decreasing probability): 1 - Tony himself, though portraying yourself as a third party...

Harbaugh and Sandusky want you to hold their beers. Art Briles, Hugh Freeze, Bobby Patrino and Mike Price are considering asking you to do the same.
