Lambert set the NCAA record for single-game completion percentage (minimum 20 completions) by completing 24-of-25 passes (96%) for 330 yards and three touchdowns against South Carolina

LMAO - all y'all keep lying to yourselves and everyone else about what made Spurrier not want to coach anymore -

Spurrier was done on September 20 2014 after a 48-34 win in Nashville - he was done - disgusted -

"it's embarrassing but we are who we are. we're not a very team but we're 3-1 somehow and we got all of the voters fooled thinking we're pretty good I guess because we beat Georgia"


"it's no fun for me watching us play tonight"

it's one of the worst wins I've ever had"

he was gonna make it official after beating UMiami in the bowl game - and Rayberry and his family begged him to return for 2015 - mostly because Rayberry had no succession plan - not one game in the 2015 season had the HBC's heart or desire in it -

it absolutley BLOWS MY MIND that bowl game stats weren't included in a player's stat history unitl this century. I have no idea why the NCAA hasn't devoted an army of interns to go back and retroactively update all players (or at the very least, the notable ones on offense) career stats.


Some folks clearly are; otherwise we wouldn't know about untracked stats (like Thomas' sack totals) and we know the box score of bowl games. It seems easy to retroactively add them.

1993-94 Mizzou Basketball Tigers undefeated in Big 8 conference play. 14-0. Literally impossible to break.

I hope not. That was legit boring if you weren't a UGA fan.

You could easily find enough non-athletes in shape (or even intramural athletes) who would get absolutely DESTROYED by even an FCS team.

It's not just the athletic ability,; it's being coached and having an actual set of plays that are practiced. You can be incredibly athletic, but if you're not coached then you'll be out of position to cover the opposing WRs. It won't matter if you're fast; best case scenario you run down the WR but they're still going to score every play or every other play.

And God forbid you take an "in shape" kid and try and tackle someone like Derrick Henry or take a tackle from Tyrann Mathieu. You might not get back up.

Sounds right.

In retrospect, both sides were petty.

I think the game still means something, but as college football centers around “one champion” model, the individual rivalries, the conference rivalries, the regional rivalries, and intersectional rivalries seem to matter less and less.

I used to know every player in the Auburn roster by number and hometown, now I probably can’t name 5 players until late September.

It is a different era of college football and all of college sports. I’m not sure the support of these teams will be as deep with devotion it was for my generation. Time will tell.

Nobody is classless enough to beat a team Like Sewanee that bad. It's like beating the shite out of you blind and deaf little brother..... That's how sleazy tech is.

It’s sad when we’re looking fondly at the era of the wild bowl games and anyone could end up the champions. It kept the conference championships relevant.

Every conference title in the playoff era feels more like a trivia answer.

Probably. The Iron Bowl got suspended for a number of years because of all the fights at the games and the politics in Montgomery.
