Tennessee started the season, before conference play, 26-0 including wins over Jordy Bahl and Nebraska, Oregon, 11-0 over Ucla, and 9-1 over Florida State then hit a brick wall once confrence play started.
The talent level is insane here.

Mostly I enjoy that we are required to lounge about in our smoking jackets and drink high quality liquor while discussing deep intellectual thoughts. Or, you know, talk about how modern music isn't as good as it used to be.

And here we don't have to deal with those meddling kids and their newfangled ideas like the forward pass.
7. Arkansas 13-8 at Texas
We are one of the best teams in the country... which puts us middle of the pack in the SEC. We have a silly amount of talent in this conference.

I'm hoping to win the Powerball lotto. That way I can to stand in the aisles for the game and only pay a few grand.
Ringside seats for wrestling used to set you back about 20 bucks. Now they go for ten grand or more at the big events. We are steadily pricing out generations of fans.

re: Chips are down: Cover 1 man free or Cover 3 zone against a modern RPO offense?

it's not either/or
you do variations of 1, 2, 2 man under, 3, man free, four across disguise, combos (aka, brackets), multiple pre-snap and post-snap disguises, rolls from 3 to 2, rolls from 2 to 3, etc, to create well over 20 different coverages
Your weekly reminder HRV is pretty damn smart folks.
I took my beloved cat in to be put to sleep while it was storming, with little bits of hail, yesterday and when I walked out the sun was shining. Not a spiritual fellow but it meant something to me that she was not suffering.

We're probably going to be down for a bit but folks love going to the gymnastic meets.
My concern is that Yurachek will try to squeeze a bit more cash by going cheap and a popular, and fairly successful, secondary sport will wither on the vine.

From what I have seen most SEC teams have a lot of holes on their roster. Hell, at Arkansas we're kind of amazed we even have a roster.
They are gathered around to watch the outcome of an event that they already knew how it ended. You can be biggest Trumper in the world but spinning this as "rock hard nerves!" doesn't ring true when it's over an hour after the event.
In football terms, how you look before the last second 50 FG that goes through is a lot different than how you look an hour after you know it was good.
Trump is now tied with Obama on assassination attempts. I guess that is a bipartisan thing to be proud of.

After some very public flameouts the NFL values character a lot in the QBs. The guy is going to be the face of the franchise, you don't want Dickhead McGee out there showing his arse to the world.
Not unless he's a transcendent talent.
Canada or UDFA trying to fight his way onto a team. If he's the real deal at the next level he'll get a chance somewhere.

We could run both programs for a century just from the pocket change that spills from our bloated and under performing football team in one year.
The issue isn't that we can't field competitive teams in both sports. It is that the AD doesn't want to bump the budget up a fraction to do so. We've spent a lot of money on facility upgrades so even though we bring in a ton of money, we don't have a ton left.
I think it's a lousy idea, with just a bit of investment we could be really good at both sports. But we've been overly generous with a lot of coaching contracts and are paying those off.

You mean... like into the military if the war with Iran expands?
Oh. The NFL.
The war with Iran one is probably more likely.

Bert at Arkansas had a shot at being an above coach. But he just couldn't dry out until we sh*t canned him. Bert has done well at Illinois but if he had his act together here... ah well.
I hope he can finally turn it on but... sometimes you have a ton of talent but due to injuries and other issues it just never clicks. I do think he will get a real shot to see what he can do.
College coaching is like the Mafia. Once you're a made man you're in.
Every now and then someone bombs at one job and but turns it around at the next. So, people think they might be getting a diamond in the rough coach, but the odds are they are getting someone who got canned for good reason.
A lot of times it boils down to inability to change. "I had two great seasons with this scheme!" Yes, but now everyone knows how to beat that scheme and does so regularly. Coaches who are willing to change are a rare breed.

We lose a lot of exciting games each year. Well, other than times someone just walks the dog on us.
