re: Mr 101 MPH…

[quote]To put it simply, the fastest pitch ever recorded is 105.5. So I’m to believe that a pitcher 50 years ago, who didn’t have the benefit of modern training, threw 3 MPH faster than anyone ever has since. Not likely[/quote]
It's fair to think that radar gun may have been out of calibration. ...

not a myth - based more on fact than some guy just saying it's a myth.
He was clocked at 100.8 in 1974 in the 9th inning using a radar gun of the day that measured the ball ten feet in front of the plate.
It's no stretch to know the ball starts slowing as soon as the ball leaves the hand. Tod...

[quote]This was at a neutral site in Hoover. This wasn’t in Knoxville where some people think the Vols lie about the numbers. He is a legit 100mph. Marcus Phillips also hit like 99mph in the SEC Tournament.

Need my players but I think we got the right guy as the HC.
Offensively we should be really good, OL, WR, TE and QB seem to be set. Even RB is OK, no HR guy but several guys that run hard.
Defensively? Not so much, way too much unproven. Lots of length and athleticism but toughness? And t...

Nate has been around for 20 years, he is not new. He blew up during Covid when he did a Netflix special outside that blew the lid off Netflix's ratings. Now, he sells out arenas.

Delusional Ole Miss fan thinks a coach that beat Alabama twice in the national title game and won no less than 10 games 12 times in a row and only as few as 10 only 4 times in that stretch.
Look at this

This crap is not new.
I had a buddy that got $10,000 on a visit to a team from Florida in the 1970's which almost doubled what he had gotten from all the other schools combined. He got total fo about 21 or 22,000 but didn't get a single scholarship offer from any place that he go money.

I am thinking the secondary will be good. I really don’t have a lot of questions. Good but not great defense.
My question is all about the execution level of running a new offense not the players themselves. The players are what they are and as most return from a 9 win team, it’s the coaching ...
