Bob or Steven

Kinda maybe a Barry, may be too cool of a name for him though.

 

[RandomUTfan]

Y'all, I gotta stop reading these Bama boards. Ima have a coniption. I just saw a Bama fan suggest they pull out of every big out-of-conference game they are in. We went from We want Bama to Bama don't want anybody.

I do think fsu was slept on going into the year, but bama looked awful. I had that game down as an L but now I’m not so sure. Fans will turn on him fast

 

[drvenner]

I’m ready for the UCLA game. Whether he does good or bad I have no idea but I want to see Nico play out of curiosity

I want him to look really bad

The only Barry I know cheated on his wife with a man. Very fitting for Barry kelly

In the year of the portal and NIL it is ridiculous to have preseason rankings. A piss poor team can contend for a national championship a year later if they have enough blue chippers on the roster.

Those Mike Keith called highlights up on Twitter. Bob is a great guy but holy smokes…what an upgrade lol

Told yall lol. A masterclass. A pro’s pro.

Any concern Cuse exposed something on our defensive personnel or do we just need to get healthy?

Not that 26 pts is bad, just not Banks's standard. An elite standard.

Bama didn't make them throw the ball. Other teams will. And that's incredible that we are talking about FSU playing better teams than Alabama with their schedule.

We were playing a bunch of guys in the 3rd quarter. Get Hobbs, Moi, and Eason healthy.

Linebacker play today was yuck. They make plays, but down-in-down-out, they seem a bit all over the place (and not in a good way).

yes we have a problem middle of the field 8 to 15 yards just like Ga did to us last year

Don't forget McCoy. Though I will say Colton Hood looked like a straight up DOG out there but McCoy is very clutch in critical 3rd/4th downs and that's what we were missing today.

No we played a lotttt of young guys. We started rotating back ups in the 2nd and then started bringing in freshman 3rd string in the 2nd half. Pair that with multiple injuries

As long as everyone is back by uga it’ll be fine. Cuse also has a good offensive system it seems

Just need all our guys. I don't like that we gave up so many passing yards, but Syracuse may end up being a solid team overall on offense. Several of our guys are young too. They'll get a lot better over the 1st few games, imo.

FSU's QB is pretty good. I would say above average. But FSU made plenty of mistakes, and aside from that, it was just regular ole Gusffense. You have 20 years of film on the same stuff, you should not be getting this flummoxed by Gus.

And then you have the fact that it was jaw dropping how Bama was getting whipped at the line of scrimmage. Truly reminded me of us vs NC State last year

The only thing in jeopardy in that game was whether we covered the spread or not,

 

[Jack Burton]

Lol what did Pate say recently that’s got everybody seeing red? GFW made a reference to him in the game thread too.

He was beloved around here until recently. I always thought he was too pandering tbh. To be fair, he was an early adopter of the Vols under Heupel before we took the big step, but I don’t listen enough to know how he drew the ire of Vols fans.

Anyone notice that Huepel didnt put the stupid helmet on after the win? Just another day at the office.

Sounds like this other Barry I know.

@butchna

Just read where Lee Roy Jordan passed away at 84 years old. Great MLB for the Tom Landry teams years ago..

He’s treasured around here. Just missed meeting him years ago. Good old fashioned greatness.
