I'm the opposite. I like when they're bad and we beat them 63-3.

Fellas, fellas, fellas…

Why don’t we compromise. I want all our opponents to be good to great teams. But I still want to beat each and every one of them similarly 42+ to 3 or 7.

Would y’all be okay if Tennessee scores 2 touchdowns in each and every quarter of every game played this season? Maybe throw in a field goal additionally once or twice a game for Tennessee too. Opponents score one touchdown or one field goal every 4 quarters played against Tennessee? Trying to be reasonable here…

17-0 🤠

I know I've been absent for a little bit but I had reason... As much as it killls me to post this, the love of my life, a man I had been with for 27 years, is gone. We all thought it would happen back in March but he made it to Aug and I'm angry but grateful for it. Half of my soul is gone and IDK if it will ever be replaced but all of you have been such a tremendous support to me and such a large part of the journey that you deserve to know even though all I really want to do is sink inside the deepest hole I can find.

I can't thank you enough for how much you supported us over the years. You might not have known it but Brian was an alum and I just don't have the words to describe how much he meant to me or how much every thought, prayer, and good thought meant to me. I'm shattered and I have no idea what happens next. He was my everything in so many ways. But last night he went into cardiac arrest after his long illness and when I saw him he was brain dead. I was forced to make a decision that no one should ever have to make but I knew he was no longer there this time.

He escaped death so many times and we both received so much love and support here. I am absolutely shattered - half of me is gone - but I'm also grateful for everything VN did for us. Please keep me and him in your thoughts and thank you so much for everything. You have no idea how much you've meant to me these past few years.

So sorry for your loss. I lost my wife after 14 years of marriage and I thought my world was coming to an end. I was pretty much lost for two years and I kinda just stopped living my life but my close friends kept after me and things started to turn around. You probably don't want to hear it right now but stay strong and keep the faith and please don't stop moving forward with your life. It will get better over time.

I will send prayers for comfort for you and your family

If Heupel's seat starts getting warm that would be "special needs." Or whatever is the correct word to indicate what used to be called retarded (slow). So it would be on-brand and a pig in slops for some of the trolls.

Just say stupid, idiotic, moronic, asinine, etc.

No need to insult @Glitch and me by saying special needs or retarded… 😂

(people aren't going to love this but)

I don't think we're in a good place right now.

Aguilar will start game one, but talent wise he just doesn't have it. He'll probably be okay if we can scheme around him but he's really not a top tier QB in the SEC. There's a reason he transferred to a weak UCLA program.

Merklinger isn't playing with much confidence right now. He's got a good throwing motion and is a decent athlete but it's just not coming together for him. I think in a year or two he could be a *fine* starter for a low-end SEC or middle of the pack ACC program but he's just not a program cornerstone type guy.

George looks the part. He's by far the most natural QB of the bunch with far and away the most talent. If things go south with Joey, I hope we throw George out there and just see what he can do. He's way too skinny to physically survive the SEC grind week in and week out right now. I hope our OL can hold up if he's out there but the kid has a lot of natural talent. Really glad we took him over Deuce Knight last year. Will be fun with him and Faizon competing next year.

No worries for me. We had two practice phenoms and mediocre game day QB starters in the last two years.

Hendon Hooker won the starting job due to an injury. And we never looked back.

I think Aguilar is a gamer. I will take that over a great practice player every day of the week.

I’m still confident in

17-0 🤠

Kids today will never know what it's like to run a meat-grinder pedal up the back of their leg or land so hard on the cross bar it feels like their ass is in the back of their throat, 😂

Them’s the good ole days.

You and I have fond memories of the good ole days, but radically different in regards to what was good 😊

I remember riding my bike all over creation, rope swings, bike trails, community swimming pool, playing games of football or baseball with just the guys in our neighborhood. I’m still sad that my kids didn’t get to experience that.

I swear I saw there was a game, then when I googled, couldn't find it.

I was telling my wife earlier this week not to make plans for Saturday afternoon because there was a big college football game in Ireland I wanted to watch. She asked me who was playing and I told her I thought it was Notre Dame against Penn State or ND vs Boston College or something "Irishy". I went through the program guide and couldn't find a game that made sense to be played in Ireland. I had to google it up..... It's ISU vs K St at noon on ESPN. 🤷


Kansas St vs Iowa St doesn't scream "top o the mornin to ya" to me. Does anybody know is there any real reason for them to be playing in Ireland, other than money?

I’m not even referencing leverage really. Just that doing it his way has us 30 wins in last 3 years and a playoff appearance.

From where things were when he took it over, the man has performed an exorcism on the program. I’m sure he’s looking to improve but I doubt he sees a glaring weakness currently.

Oh man would that be a great edit.
Think The Exorcist.

CJH as the priest with pruitt as the possessed girl. 😂

Is your name Charlie? One of my fraternity brothers would spend all of the Spring quarter eating as much as he could. While the rest of us were trying to shed the winter blubber.

He would go home and load hay all Summer. He would come back to campus absolutely ripped and without an ounce of fat on him. 😳
