Sec shorts - season report cards

[ankh83]

My question is can we bill them after we beat Georgia next season? lol GBO!

 

[WilcoVolsFan]

That was a kind and appropriate ending.

 

[VOLnMiami]

Aww that ending

 

[VFL-82-JP]

Thirty years from now, with what team will Mike Leach most closely be associated? Texas Tech? Washington State? Or Mississippi State?

I would have to guess it will be Texas Tech, but it is an intriguing question. Has more to do with collective memory formation than the man himself, sort of like some people remember Nelson Mandela dying in prison.

dude that ending got me choked up. wasn't ready for that

 

[knox-townVOL]

Hannah Kuykendall is so dang cute

Generally speaking I'd say Texas Tech, but as a Mississippi native I'll always remember him as a Bulldog.

Texas Tech. He turned them into a power and was beloved there, before the administration (with an assist from Craig James) did him dirty.

If he had a few more years at Miss State, that might be the answer, but we'll never know. He just now 'turned the corner' there with the Egg Bowl win and may have legit competed for the SEC West at some point, but we'll never know.

Dang. That ending.....

 

[txbo]

RIP Pirate.

The world is a bit less interesting without him.

 

[ENGRVOL]

That ending really brings out what makes college football so special

Also wish I was graded in school on whatever scale was used to give our defense an A

 

[Voltopia]

Tennessee's gimmick should have been him sitting there with eleven oranges on the desk, grinning, and before she can finish a sentence, he says "eleven!" "Yes, Tennessee, you have eleven oran-" "Eleven!" "Yes, you got eleven. Now, let's look at your report card." And she looks, and it's been erased, and "11" is written in big letters. And she looks back, and the camera cuts to Tennessee, and he's grinning even wider as he nods "yes" at her.

 

[VolBricks]

Dennis Hopper - I like that du...rabbit!

 

[JoAllan]

very well done

Just glad I’m not a State fan………don’t think I could have kept it together.

 

[dobre_shunka]

UK gets an overall grade of B? Weren't they picked to finish 2nd by the media and wound up in a 3 way tie for next to last? Must have been a curve on that one.

Tennessee is one of SCAR's 2 biggest rivals?

Well when you don't have rivals or tradition yes.

 

[TomcatVolFan]

Dang. That ending.....

I agree. The way they gave a tribute to Mike Leach was touching and very classy.

Yeah I am not down too much on our defense but I would not give it an A.

I felt the LSU grading was similarily too high. Lots of recency bias maybe.

 

[YankeeVol]

Well when you don't have rivals or tradition yes.

Clemson and UGA?

I'd think we're at least 3rd at the highest.

Maybe so, but I bet wherever he is right now they’re having a blast!

He transformed Texas Tech. That’s his legacy.

Ugh. Clemson?

Yeh it's hard for me to picture him without TT being front and center.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

I feel like Washington state will be the odd man out in the future.
I agree with you about TTU but also feel that he will forever be tied to MSU now as well.

Just too short a sample size.
