Saggin is in. If there are any other members who aren't going to have time to play this year there is no shame in bowing out. Just let me know as others have expressed interest! We have a 14 team league right now. We could probably do 16 if we have two more that really want to play...

I respect his testicular fortitude.

I wonder if you can still call it a tragedy when you're biking on a cliff.

LOL it looked like there was a MTB trail. Like, what? That is so effing crazy hard to do. I watched his hand on brakes doing down stairs, I'm fairly certain he didnt brake, at all.

Still can’t get too excited about this due to the final arbiter of talent , the NFL DRAFT.

247 picks over 300 4 stars in each class. With fundamentally 2 classes available each year that would be 600 to choose from, but last draft only about a hundred 4 stars were drafted, roughy 500 were not BUT OVER 100 2&3 stars were.

There you have it.

Hey speaking of chit... I chit my pants this morning. I'm wearing light colored shorts and my undies didn't do their job, so I've got a nice little stain visible to anyone who stands behind me. Can't trust a fart these days.

We're not elite, though. That's the point, and the roster talent composition points to the reason why. To elevate Tennessee to Georgia and Ohio State level, Heupel has to keep stacking 10-win seasons, which in turns boosts recruiting, and then he has to start consistently landing top 10 classes with occasional top 5 classes. It's a process to get there and he's following the path to do it.

30 wins in three seasons and getting trounced first round of the 12-team playoff isn't top tier. It's good, and better than just about anyone expected in Jan. 2021, but it's not elite.

There is a top tier separate from us and it's teams that win national championships. We aren't there yet. There's a team in that tier that we haven't beaten in almost a decade. Getting there is insanely difficult, especially if you aren't in a super talent-rich state. Plenty of very good coaches get to good or even great but not elite.

That's why I'm saying 10-year rebuild. He's halfway there. The next five years is about taking the next step and maintaining it. It's a whole rebuild in and of itself.

Everyone got trounced by Ohio state. They were up over thirty on Oregon. Lol. If we had played anyone else, it’s a close game and likely a win against half the teams in the playoff.
