The football team has played soft since 2002. The 1st 4 years of the BCS system UT won once, was 1 game away twice (Arkansas and LSU). They were a tough team to beat on Saturday and competing for the title every year. Since that time they have not been tough and even making 2 SEC championship...

I don't think that number means much unless we see the budget. Football brings in 85% of the revenue and probably spends 80% of the revenue. Costs a lot of money to field a football team. Profit and loss is the only measuring stick.

Most of the criticism is coming from fans of other coaches/schools who want to compare him with Rupp/Donovan/Pitino. I have heard he can't win the big one many times. These are unfair comparisons pitting coaches with many years of Div I experience versus one with 3 years Div. I experience. He...

Just wanted to post in this thread.......HI MOM!

Apples and oranges comparison. Just reverse the roles and UT gets the 1 seed and bracket that Memphis has breezed through, they are in the Elite 8 while Memphis playing the UT bracket would be home watching. No way to make a fair comparison using that method. In this case the 2 teams played head...

Pearl has done what he was asked to do, put butts in seats. That 100% effective job has produced concession profits, advertising profits as the TV and radio audiences are peaking. Its raining cash over at UT so SHOW HIM THE MONEY!

I did not like the seeding but don't think UT is being singled out or penalized. The selection committee is not making an attempt at fairness, their first priority is to fill seats in arenas. If you look at it from that perspective I think they did a good job. Actually I felt our seeding the...

J.J. made his 457 3 pointers in 139 games Chris has hit his 419 in 123 games. If UT wins the NCAA or finishes 2nd the most games Chris could play would be 132. Since they both have averages slightly over 3 per game this gives J.J. a 21 3 pointer advantage just in games played.

Coaches are no more responsible for player off field behavior than the Dean is for the behavior of other scholarship students. Players/students are responsible for their own behavior. You can give these guys the opportunity of a lifetime but you can't change their IQ level.

I thought that was funny.....but from reading the board I see you are the head moron here so I bow to your opinion.

I would guess UGA is thinking Richt is a heartbeat away from being the head coach at FSU. Supply and demand.

Should have drunk more and smoked less!

Next year, like every year, the record will depend on how fast the defense front 7 gel. If they get it done early, combined with the revived secondary, it could be a championship season. Offense just needs to get 21 to 24 points up there somehow. I don't think they can 9-3.

Guilty...Bill Justus hits 2 free throws in Starkeville!

UT has all the tools to whip the Gators on their home court. I was not pleased with the way they handled, or mis-handled, the high screen offense in the 1st game. UF's shots off those screens stopped dropping and UT pummeled them with 3 pointers. UT needs to keep the press on and tempo high to...
