So ... you think that's okay?

I'm saying mentally ill people are going to say crazy things. How do you stop them in this high tech world. A lunatic threatened my wife today that she was going to kill her if she saw her out somewhere because she wouldn't let her go in to a private area and bother another client in distress. Is that a big deal to you?

It still may happen though. Wisconsin is going to lose to OSU. Bama and Auburn will be in. Bama may jump to 3 though to try to set up a 3rd straight Clemson-Bama championship. That would also give us an Iron Bowl in LA.

Rooting for Auburn, Wisconsin and Miami..

Cone on invol, no sane person makes death threats over football, and lunatics are everywhere. They make humanity look bad. Literally any high profile person that does something unpopular is going to get dumb stuff from the fringe lunatics.

I'm surprised you'd take this stance but you're entitled to your opinion. Wonder WWJD?

Very well could happen but they will avoid it until it's inevitable.

I know you're aware of the "SEC bias" claims.
The committee would prefer not to deal with the backlash of any two team ordeal, if it's the SEC, they know what's coming.

OSU gets in over Bama. Bamas lack of any signature wins will be the reason needed to keep them out and prevent 2 teams from one conference.

Can anyone name a multi millionaire coach in history that voluntarily left their extremely healthy D1 Alma Mater In exchange for an extremely unhealthy D1 program?

Well Jesus wouldn’t make death threats.

Ulysses is just saying it kinda comes with the job even though it shouldn’t. Gotta be thick skinned to be an AD in the south and just have to realize that these kinda threats are not at all likely to happen. It sucks. That’s for sure.

Very disturbing and it’s a shame it happens. I would not be athletic director because I wouldn’t want that kind of pressure in my life but I would expect that sort of thing to happen from time to time. Doesn’t make it right and doesn’t mean they should have to endure that. It also doesn’t mean that the rest of the fan base can’t be angry with our AD.

Did you seriously just not read what I said? I never said it was ok..I'm saying consider the source. Insane people say and do insane things...no sane person is going to make death threats over football.

My process is less complicated. I simply listen to what people say and if 50 out of 50 commentators are very critical of UT and have nothing positive to say, I make a logical conclusion-- they do not think highly of UT.

I haven't heard one single ESPN or SECN announcer or commentator support UT since Sunday. Not one, across all shows and live events. Now if they're indecisive, my bias would definitely come into play. But they're overwhelmingly against UT on this issue and the disdain is real.

Correction: I believe Barrett Sallee may have shown some support. But I didn't hear that firsthand.

Are there factors you haven’t considered?

Ask yourself, Is their reaction one that is logical for an objective, unbiased (non-UT fan) party?

Meaning, maybe they are the ones looking at this more fairly and you are he biased one.

Or, on the flip side, maybe you have more knowledge, understanding and information about the subject, so they have a distorted outlook.

Food for thought
