    That definitely qualifies for a Spock-like, one-upraised-eyebrow look.

    Excited about our incoming class but does recruiting even matter anymore?

    He will, indeed, but he turns 65 in June, so I doubt that a 10-year run, a la Saban, is in the cards for him.

    Well, all of Paul’s Bama buddies will be in rare form tomorrow on the Finebaum show.

    Unfortunately, it could be even worse than what you have envisioned. There have been two great bandwagon waves of fans in my life: Alabama fans during the Bear's reign of terror during the 1970s and Saban's extraordinary run. He left in his wake a fanbase that has been spoiled by success to a...

    2025/26 Transfer Portal Thread

    A potentially huge new target has declared his intent to enter the portal. All-American defensive end John Henry Daley (Utah) declared his intent to do so today, presumably due in part to Kyle Whittingham's departure for the Michigan job. Daley ranks "among the top five nationally in sacks...

    Major supporters and fans re-thinking their financial and future plans for College Football

    For many of us who have devoted a lifetime, in terms of loyalty to, and financial support of, a particular university and its athletic programs, the depth of mercenary, fly-by-night greed now exhibited by players is utterly contemptible. All parties concerned need to realize that, as much as we...

    '26 Transfer QB options

    This guy is a FSU fan, so he can't be accused of pro-Tennessee bias, but he has a fascinating perspective on where we stand currently in terms of transfer-portal quarterbacks. Let the pro- and con- debate commence! See

    And/or Ohio State. Either way, they would have an accelerated grasp of the new scheme and be able to mentor their new teammates. Furthermore, let us not forget the reverse engineering application that Knowles can bring to Tennessee's offense, notably through explaining how OSU game-planned...

    A fascinating, third-party perspective on where we stand currently in terms of transfer-portal quarterbacks

    '27 TN RB David Georges

    Bo was like a Porsche, more subject to mechanical breakdowns, whereas Herschel "took a licking and kept on ticking."

    Worst Bowl loss

    "Royal quickly embraced the idea of the wishbone, though it did not immediately work, as the Longhorns tied their first game running the new offense and went into halftime of their second game against Texas Tech trailing 21–0. This led Royal to make the first of two changes which proved key to...

    Worst Bowl loss

    I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier, but there was a wild card involved. That was the first time we faced the wishbone offense, and Texas was in the middle of a 30-game winning streak. Nobody defended it successfully until Notre Dame came up with their "mirror" defense for the 1971...

    Worst Bowl loss

    In this context, I suppose that it depends on how you define worst, i.e., worst slaughter or most painful bowl loss for whatever reason. If memory serves me correctly, one of our players in that game, perhaps Richmond Flowers, stated essentially that, "If we had played them ten times, they would...
