Just like throwing dice......bet 'em when they're hot. Nothing would surprise me after this week and we have a spot or two open.I'm getting the feeling it's getting ready to be fun on the hill again! I know alot of LSU/Bama fans who all say they're ready for us to be relevant again...they realize the SEC is better when Vols are in the mix. Also, with all the positive momentum this week...Trey, Cade, WR transfers, I would be a bit surprised to see all this have a VERY positive affect on our final signings for this class...maybe some shockers coming out of the blue?
There is no such thing as "luck". Luck is the idea that there are causeless effects that just "happen" to certain people.
There is the providence of God and then there is our choices and actions. Those are the things that determine our outcomes.
UT's "luck" goes back to the choice of Sanders to replace Cut then Fulmer's subsequent failure to hold his assistants accountable and especially Sanders. The inaction or incompetence of the UT AD failed to react correctly to Fulmer's decline in time to turn him around and save him. Ultimately, he was rightly fired due to the direction in the program and total lack of discipline. The choices made after were bad... to really, really bad.
IMHO, Fulmer was always better suited for a political position like AD than HC. Either wisely or blindly, he hired a guy who runs a pretty tight ship. I do not know if Pruitt will succeed but this looks like the right chemistry.
Victory awaits him who has everything in order — luck, people call it. Defeat is certain for him who has neglected to take the necessary precautions in time; this is called bad luck.
Eliminating dumb polls on this site would be extraordinary good luck.I think there is such a thing as luck. If a punter punts the ball inside the 20 consistently, it's skill, If that same punter gets it inside the 10, it's usually hard work. If that same punt falls dead at the 1 inch line, that's what I call luck. Bad luck would be where is rolls slightly into the end zone, depending if you are the receiving team or defending team.
Yeah, the SEC is going to be fun the next few years where anything can, & probably will happen. I doubt it will be boring games.Yeah, Pruitt's got that no nonsense approach and knows his stuff. That's why I think it will be interesting in SECW in next few years. Though Kiffin/Pirate getting all the media attention, Pittman has put together a really good staff under the radar, will have similar mentality on developing trenches, and I think in 3 years, ARK will be in better position than MISS schools. CRAZY division though with all the names...Jimbo gonna have to start winning some games or hot seat coming.

No. You go ahead and pump tho.We have potentially the best OL in the SEC. Next years line is only getting one "new" player from a group that was nowhere near the "best" in the SEC in 2019. Don't get me wrong, I think the line will be much improved with another year of experience, weight training and nutrition but I just think we all need to pump the brakes a bit.

At the risk of turning this into a theological discussion: Keil & Delizsch ... and pega', “accident,” particularly as an adversity, disappointment of the word is used also without any addition (1Ki_5:18) of misfortune (cf. שיר פגעים, Psa_3:1-8; 91). The masc. יִקְ is regulated after וף; 'eth can, however, be used in the masc., Son_2:12; Böttch. §648, viz., “with the misapprehension of its origin” (v. Orelli)."I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all." -- Ecclesiastes 9:11 KJV
Diatribe? Hardly. There was a clear difference in offensive production, team discipline on and off the field, and wins without Cutcliffe.... and with Sanders. Fulmer lost control of his team and was too close to see objectively. It happens. Hamilton failed to step in and force change.Disagree about Sanders and Fulmer diatribe
Honestly, I didn't. Two games even as bad as those do not amount to a whole body of work. I have been very positive about Pruitt's ability to coach the game from the start. I'm still not sure he has all the skills needed to be a great HC... nothing necessarily wrong yet but I want to see more. I still don't like those losses or some "bad" wins like IU. But again, right direction at this time.I went mental after the loss to Georgia State and BYU. In hindsight, it looks now like the final surgery to remove the rot of the previous 10 years and achieve buy-in to the new dynamic.
Impressed you know who Jordan Peterson is.Pruitt is building a TEAM. I think Fulmer knows that requires building family dynamics within a squad of 85 and it needs someone at the helm who is one part Bill Walsh, one part Martin Luther King Jr and one part Jordan Peterson.
Agree. It think this is Fulmer's best role. Some guys are better in a less direct role.He seems to be doing this intuitively.
Crompton had a very good senior year. He pretty much turned around on a dime. He played pretty bad vs UF and UCLA early on but otherwise he was solid.... and he was as broken as any QB has ever been.The real downfall of Fulmer was the Cardinal Richelieu of Tennessee Football - Mike "Hambone" Hamilton - and the fact that, despite all their experience and future success, Fulmer and Dave Clawson couldn't turn on the lights for Crompton. Despite the narrative bandied around this forum, neither could Kiffin. Crompton was every bit as bad the first half of his senior season until the lights suddenly switched on in the last two minutes of the Auburn game. There is actually a LOT of similarities between Crompton and JG. I'm really keen to see what year 2 with Chaney does for JG.
Unless you're Dustin colquitt.maybe he was just the luckiest person in the world during his time at UT.I think there is such a thing as luck. If a punter punts the ball inside the 20 consistently, it's skill, If that same punter gets it inside the 10, it's usually hard work. If that same punt falls dead at the 1 inch line, that's what I call luck. Bad luck would be where is rolls slightly into the end zone, depending if you are the receiving team or defending team.
