Did anyone see the video of the App St D lineman ripping a helmet off a O lineman and smacking him in the head with the helmet? None of the players reacted. I wonder if they culture of that program has really gone down hill.

Culture downhill since Joey's not there to keep them in line.

I’m concerned the NCAA giving Michigan that sloppery public knob job and cheat-with-impunity card may cost us Hiter.

Imagine if their title were stripped and they had scholarship reductions, recruiting restrictions, and a post season ban for corrupting the playoffs, destroying evidence, etc.

We’ll see.

*I'm not saying Aguilar can't lead the VOLS to another double digit win season. I would love for him too. I'm just being cautious about my enthusiasm for the QB positionthis season. I was all in on Nico winning the Heisman after we went to the ETSU game last season. I was wrong. We got to SEC play and Nico played scared. I'm not crowning Joey Aguilar "the best QB sincre Hendon Hooker" until I see him in SEC play. That's fair on my part. Wasn't Guaranto the Gatorade Player of the Year or an Under Armour All American or something like that? He didn't live up to our expectations. I know the coaches he had were subpar but a lot of it was on himself.

Damn the torpedos of expectations. I’m all in for a Gardner Minshew-Washington State-type year.

catching up on Arkansas

Mixed emotions for them. Some ready to move beyond Pittman. Going into Year 6 (which is crazy)

Bobby Petrino helped them tremendously as OC last year. Green will be in his second year in this system. He tended to lock in on a WR instead of working through progressions. They think he will be improved

Have added some big guys on OL. Tried to shore up depth. Gave up 36 sacks last season, which has been a point of emphasis. They have a RT named McRoy they got from Oregon who is enormous (6'8+). OL will be better than it was last year.

Lost all of their top WR. OMega Blake is supposed to be their explosive weapon on the outside. Added a lot in portal (like 6 or 7 WR...). Hoping one or some of them can stand out. Nothing to rave about yet. Won't know if they have a game changer until they get the season under way. TEs not looking great.

RB Braylen Russell jumped in then out of the portal. He is supposed to be bell cow RB. Was 250 lbs last year, trying to get to 230 by season. Brought in RB Mike Washington from New Mexico St, who has been a standout/surprise since he got there. They are really excited about Washington. They will likely lean on this RB duo a lot early on.

Have a safety/nickel named Larry Worth they think is NFL. Got some other DBs from the portal to shore up depth, particularly at CB. Also got the #1 CB from JUCO.

DL is a unit that did not get stronger in portal. Needed some depth. No big names this year. DE could be an issue if they have 1-2 injuries. Tried to bring in some guys, but mostly depth pieces in the portal, as the best guys usually stay where they are. Nobody standing out yet.

They will be worse on defense this year. Will need Petrino to lead them through some shootout wins if they're going to win more than they did last year.

They were really messy in the portal. I can't think of another word to describe it but "messy." They lost some of their best guys to Ole Miss and then tried to add more than they lost.


41 out, 31 in. They were up there in portal traffic with programs like Cal, WF, Miss St, Colorado, Louisville, UCLA, Virginia, Ole Miss, Houston, VaTech, Kansas, Kentucky

I'm not sure if that's a great thing for a coach in his 6th year. By now, you'd want to have your veterans leading units, and a foundation of depth built by guys that have been in the program for 3+ years. Plus you have to have immediate cohesion from all these new pieces.

Schedule is going to be tough. This is their key stretch early:

ending the season with this:

I didn't realize how much they dislike Missouri. That rivalry has taken, surprisingly.

6-6 or 7-5 with a frown seems like the consensus.
