Troy was at least a pretty good football team. Georgia State was 2-10 last year. Tennessee's loss was much worse.

Exactly! Satan err sabans loss to ULM his first season at bama wasn't that bad, nor UM's loss to App State. Until this game I didn't even know there was a Georgia State, and I lived in Georgia for 3 and a half years.

We need them to start competing. They are a yearly opponent of Alabama.

It's kind of sad that some LSU fans hate the LSU coach so much that they were jealous of Tennessee when they made their hire.


It doesn't change the fact that LSU hired a head coach who many felt didn't have the skins on the wall to get the job. It seems like the people who felt that way may end up being wrong.

At one point Saban was hired as a HC and there were more qualified candidates out there. Same goes for Dabo. Hopefully the same can be said about Orgeron soon, and those that loved the hire will be proven correct.

Why can't you just enjoy this success though?

Tennessee higher ups need to nut up and get Fulmer out of power there.

It was a risky hire for sure. Nobody is happier than me that he's been better than expected so far.

Wtf do those guys have to do with bama? I think you missed his point.

The Vol fan was saying that Pruitt doesn't care about Tennessee losing because he's a Bama guy. I provided examples to show it's untrue and kind of stupid to believe a coach wouldn't care just because he's leading a rival school.

What do you think the point was?

It makes you seem like you are more concerned with calling people out though. Can't say I'm shocked.

Mixed up with the Penn State-Joe Paterno- Jerry somebody mess. There is some evidence he was one of the assistant coaches that knew about something going on and did nothing. That is what half the state of TN protested.

This is not glorious. Tennessee being terrible means 1 more guaranteed win on the schedule every year for LSU’s biggest competition in the division. Alabama is already extremely difficult to beat and they are basically starting with a 1 game advantage in conference play every year.


^^^^ THIS

We need UT to be strong -- so Bama has to play on a level schedule every year.

I remember watching UF/Tennessee back in 1996. Used to be a war between those schools. Got tired of seeing those orange checkered end zones and hearing Rocky Top. Programs like UT, Nebraska, Colorado and Florida state have fallen quite a bit.

Why would an Athletic Director give a multi-million dollar contract to an assistant coach for a HC position.
There are many smaller universities who have HC with proven records.

just don’t understand how they have not improved over there. I guess when down that winning attitude is hard to implement but there is no excuse for an SEC team looking that bad their first game.


Saban once dubbed the Brook Trout look, but the Vols have the dead trout look.

I've never been much a Vol fan. One of my fondest moments is when their on-campus and online melt when Lane fricking Kiffen left for USC lololololol. This melt is pretty glorious too.

if this keeps up then we're probably only weeks away from the first "Gruden wants this job" threads

My prediction: Phat Phil eventually runs Bubba Pruitt & makes himself coach.
