Long time lurker & poster on "another UT forum," but new poster here. The deal w/CC is that he is a HUGE Cutcliffe fan, predicted we'd challenge for the NC last year and had egg on his face; said this year we were a darkhorse challenger for the SECC; and said before the UCLA game that betting on UT, even against the spread, was his sure thing of the week. HE looks like a doofus b/c we've done so poorly, so now he's lashing out.
I don't know many if any of us who really thought we'd be THIS bad this year, but I also don't know many fans who REALLY thought we'd win the SECC either.
IOW's we shouldn't listen to what he's got to say about Fulmer either, right?
And you be suprised at the number of people who wager on games on what these type of media folks say.That's why he said darkhorse challenger. He's a radio guy. He's supposed to draw ratings. If he sat around and predicted USC to win the Pac-10, Oklahoma to win the Big 12, and Georgia and LSU to play for the SEC title, it would be a ho-hum show. Radio guys don't get paid to be right, they get paid to say shocking things.
Just turned on the radio and he was talking about peyton manning and how he was arguably the greatest qb evr then he got started on how he even made phillip fulmer look smart so you know peyton had to be specialost-4-1090547912:...............ouch:no:
I don't like Cowherd anyway. He sounds too much like Rome in that he thinks he's the smartest guy in the room.
