This is NO TIME to face Bama

What if we lose to Bama but surprise everyone and it’s a close game. Would a moral victory keep Butch here longer? I hope not.

If that happens I think Saban would have to sacrifice a staff member to the football gods.

I think this could easily be 62-0. And that is old Nick calling off the dogs in the 3rd.

Would former staff members work? I hope not, or Kiffin could be our undoing again. If you add in Sunseri we could have a full blown voodoo curse going.

Then again losing those two wouldn't be much of a sacrifice.

There’s never a good time to play Bama. Flame away, but the younger generation could care less about the rivalry with them. Shouldn’t be playing them every year. Automatically puts us at a disadvantage and automatic L.

I won't flame but I'll agree to disagree and state why.


If Currie & or administration are halfway competent this year is Bama's last freebie walk-in the park over us for a while.

If we get one of our longshot tier-1 HC preferences (Gruden, C. Kelly, Cooter), then next year although they're still heavily favored; an upset isn't outside the realm of possibility. Or we could be a 2-3 (1 out of conference) loss team they really don't want to have try and beat again in the SECCG.

If we get a 2nd tier option an upset is probably more of a prayer than a realistic hope but we should be able to at least make it competetive for a half. Then 2019 Game On!!!

If we get a 3rd tier coach.... Well our Bama problem is still secondary to trying to catch GA, FL, SC, Candy etc...

You're right in that it seems the younger generation could care less about the rivalry. If we can become competitive again that will quickly change.

As we try and return to prestige we need Bama more than they need us. If Kirby Smart can maintain what he has started then maybe were at an automatic disadvantage. If GA finishes the year as good as they've looked and play this way again next year I'll be worried.

If we can just get better than our division and make the SECCG with a 6-2 sec record (loss to bama, FL or GA) then an in season loss to Bama won't hurt our overall body of work for the season.

We still pulled the nations top OL Trey Smith from Bama in recruiting last year. While this year is turning into a catastrophic failure, the right HC hire can salvage recruiting and keep our incoming class highly rated.

We should never take Bama off the schedule. Why does nobody respect what Butch accomplished vs Spurrier? Because everyone knows Spurrier was a shadow of his former self.

One of the few things Kiffin did I respected was acknowledge Bama as a powerhouse and recognize TSIO as an opportunity to advance our program and take the fight to them.

I'm tired of UT being the butt of jokes and memes. Exasperated with our inability to truly become nationally relevant throughout flashes of 2015-2016 when it seemed as if we might have arrived. Worst of all I can't stand that we are becoming the recipients of sincere pity from pundits and other fan bases.

If we removed Bama from our schedule it would do more to damage our national prestige and reputation than any low we've experienced or anything else that has happened over the lost decade and a half.

In it's simplest terms the case against Butch is how far is the gap between us and Bama after 5 years? The answer? It may never have been more wide a difference in the schools history. The distance is widening to astronomical lengths. Never has the gap between Bama and UT been wider....IN OUR HISTORY. Butch has made ZERO progress in the competitive distance between the two schools. Has failed to beat Muschamp...has outright BLOWN 3 games vs Florida..a chief rival.

Give Butch credit for these successes:

-Beating Georgia 2 years in a row

-Ending the horrible streak vs Florida

-Winning 3 bowl games

-Improving the overall won/loss record...(with the help of patsies on the schedule)

AND?....that's about it. But sadly... NO EVIDENCE Currie is not entirely happy with those "successes".

Just say we're 3-4 now cuz there is no way in hell...absolutely ZERO chance we beat Bama. NONE. So...3-4? But...but if we beat Kentucky, Vandy and Mizzou we can get to 6 wins and a bowl game. Yippee....but guess what. We may NOT beat Ky, Vandy and Mizzou...in fact there's a good chance we beat NONE of them. I'm already counting LSU as a loss, and guess what? We may lose to Southern Miss too.

Let's say we win all of these games except for Bama. 8-4 (and that is the best case scenario)....with the help of 3 patsies on the schedule...is that good enough for you? I fear it may be enough for Currie by what we've heard him actually say.

If Butch is still here for Bama...........the beat down will be on him........and more recruits will de-commit......more players will become frustrated, and things will only get worse.



Butch must be fired before Bama....to save anything resembling a season.

Yep. Your right. Fire butch before the game and we win. Ridiculous. Butch is here the rest of the season Ike it or not

It is what it is. We will get rolled for 50-60 points. We may not score a point. We may have around 200 yds total offense and that is being generous. It could be more ugly than in recent memory.

Currie needs to go. He's a loser for not pulling the plug on this middle school science project two weeks ago.

Ever think he may be working on something and waiting till its a done deal first. You don't make a move Like this without a plan in place first. Be patient and let it play out. Whatever happens will happen in its own time. I'm ready for it to take place but also understand that when there are this many moving parts certain things must happen first
