Sure! I think I will put on the Miami game

That Miami game was a snoozefest. Watch 2001 vs Florida in the swamp. Maybe my favorite all time game. Followed by one of my least favorites the LSU sec title game where dante stallworth and Stephen's fumbled away the national title game. 9/11 moved the florida game down the schedule like most of us wished it was every year back then. East was decided in September usually. Travis Stephens ran over everything in his way that night and the Iceman had his back. Clausen wasnt scared of jack s#!+. His whole career here, watch that. Swag dude. Clausen would beat anybody anywhere. Swamp twice, canes in Miami, Michigan, owned bama, I was at the LSU game in neyland when him and Kelley Washington went off. Would've been in the championship that year if not for the fumbles in Atlanta. So that night that we beat Florida, the feeling of going back to the title game if we won, beating them in the swamp, and the way travis ran man it was perfect. That's all I remember now 15+ years later is 34 breaking into the secondary and running over Gus Scott.

Yeah he's overrated ain't he Ron. I'd love to be able to say my head football coach has won 10 or more games for 7 years in a row, 3 playoff appearances, a national championship, 4 conference championships, and 6 division championships. Give me a break dude. I wonder how many times a day you'd be sharing Dabo dancing towards a national championship sign if he was Tennessee's coach. I'd put the over under at 57.

You forgot to defend Jeff Brohm a few pages back.

Obviously that staff does a great job with development so I'm sure they'll be fine. Just think it's interesting they aren't landing more top shelf ballers. I mean, 8 3stars in a row? Seems a bit odd, IMO.

I was around some Clemson fans after Bama obliterated them in the playoffs last year. The fans were worried that game and performance would knock them down a notch in the eyes of recruits and hurt them this cycle. Still too early to tell but could be some truth there. For the first time in years they didn’t look like they belonged on the big stage in that game.

2019 Tennessee Football Class Calculator

If we signed this class, just about best case scenario, it would be rated higher than everyone except for Georgia and Ohio State’s final class ranking from last year.

ETA: doesn’t look like it kept my projected class plugged in.

One last tribute from my good friend’s dad. Randy is a good man and good studio host.

Randy Smith: The Kindness Of John Ward - Chattanoogan.com

What a great article. Thanks for posting. I can relate to Randy’s son. It was Ward’s voice I heard and imitated in my backyard as a kid scoring touchdowns against Alabama in my backyard. John Ward was Tennessee.

Yup it’s a pretty cool city. Best part is the weather. Heading to Victoria this morning and then Vancouver Monday

Right now MSU is set to sign more 4 stars this class than Mullen did during his entire tenure 👀

Meanwhile Florida is at 28th in the recruiting rankings

Maybe Clemson's run is over. It seems like the top recruits want to play in the SEC after last year's playoffs. Plus, Pruitt can offer early playing time and a great coaching staff to recruits.

If you have time, go to Bucchert Gardens in Victoria. Beautiful and well worth it.

Yeah I love it up there. I've gone for a week or two the last 3 years.

Have you ever done the underground tour? Pretty fascinating history about the city.

I think we beat Florida. We've had the better roster for what feels like 3 or 4 years now. Now that we have a staff like this, maybe we can cash the check this year.

Haven't done that one yet. I meant that region really. I have some really good friends stationed at jblm so I spend more time in Tacoma and Olympia. I just love that whole area. Absolutely gorgeous. I will have to try that tour next time. Gig harbor is another cool area with some good breweries and places to hang out.

Clemson’s run ending would help us tremendously. They are as big a recruiting competitor for us as anyone else.

I hope the early to mid 2000s luster has worn off down at Florida.

 

[chavisut]

UF fans certainly seem to hold their coaches more accountable.
