All: I joined this board three years ago when moving to Knoxville from Oklahoma and trying to adopt the Vols as my second favorite team. Have enjoyed that, though the constant glorification of the SEC as the only conference that can play football is annoying and silly...

Anyway, I don't argue that the upper end of the SEC is usually good. But I did see one line of logic during the Jones hire and at other times that we need to just go ahead and do away with. Basically:

"...that Big 12 spread offense won't work here in the big bad SEC where we have fast as NFL defenses..." Or the like.

Let's go ahead and just bury that one forever.

Two Big12 afterthoughts have wandered into the SEC and basically dominated it with the spread. One beat the national champion last year. One won the SEC east this year. Another, my Sooners, shredded the SECs best defense last night to the tune of 45 points. Three long time SEC teams have woken up and smelled the coffee and adopted it themselves. One is playing in the BCS title game this year , against another ACC team who also runs it. Case closed.

All I heard when people didn't want to hire CBJ was that the spread wouldn't work here in the land of real defenses. The SEC title game score totaled 100 points. The spread is a stronger offense than any SEC defense can handle, and it's about to take over the NFL as well. The next time an SEC team needs to hire a coach, running the BIG 12 spread is not a reason to oppose the hire. In fact, we should oppose the hire if the coach wants to run the antiquated crap that OU opposed as fraudulent last night.

The spread is here, and if the SEC doesn't adapt, it will get left in the dust. Pack that pro set logic in a box and store it with your Atari and parachute pants. /rant

Well first you definitely speak from experience with a loss to Texas and a trouncing at the hands of Baylor. Second, what was Florida running with Tebow all those years?

Btw, loved watching y'all beat Bama's ass last night.

What is a "spread?"

Oh, you mean a formation from which about 275 different offenses operate?

You might be a moron regurgitating stoops babble for us. GTFO.

Post is just all kinds of stupid.

What beat Bama was a QB going off and just absolutely killing with throws completed in tight windows.


The Yeldon fumble in the red zone was a huge blow too.

No idea why any of that is relevant but whatever. Anyway, I'm really enjoying watching Georgia, Bama, Arky, LSU, etc getting their pro set arses handed to them. Thought I'd share the love.

A pro set team won't win another NC this decade.

The two new teams have 'basically dominated' so much that they have a whopping 0 SEC conference titles to claim.

Please elaborate on your definition of dominated.

Alabama turned the football over and went away from their strength on offense. That's the difference in the game.

FTR I'm fine with Bama losing. The rest of the discussion you summed up in the first sentence.

Considering your team just did something that many, many other teams have tried to do and failed the past few years, gloat away brother, gloat away.

It's a totally different game inside the Superdome. A good QB is unstoppable on that turf, but put them on grass and they are average.
