re: Who the country is pulling for in Vandy vs. Other UT

That is true. I consider tomorrow’s Vandy vs Texas game a win-win for Tennessee.

WTF are you talking about? Someone forgot to take their Adderall this morning.

That’s the first thing I thought of after watching that abortion of a press conference. Somebody should have unplugged the microphone. He did LSU no favors in the coaching search.

They’re both ranked top 25 in the country. This includes public and private schools. No other TN schools are listed so they are the 2 best teams in the state.

Offense is great. Defense is bad. Lots to clean up. It will be good to get some injured players back after the bye week.
re: Worse Back Stabbing. Bobby Petrino or Phillip Fulmer?

It certainly helped. That Georgia team was loaded.

Majors beat Cincinnati and LSU when he came back. Maybe you should look it up.

Respectfully, you have your facts wrong. I was there before and after it went down and knew the people involved. I like Fulmer, personally. He played it well with Shuler and beating UGA on the road against that stacked Bulldogs team. Majors went 5-3 in ‘92 (He did not lose the last 4. He want 3-2).
Last, if you want to talk about backstabbing extraordinaire, look no further than the AD, Doug Dickey. Google how he left UT for Florida, and sued one of his best friends, a big donor, for a slip on a boat. Talk about snakes!

Fulmer. He threatened to leave for Vandy if he wasn’t named HC. The timing was very bad. Majors was a good, not great, HC, but he gave his all for Tennessee. He didn’t deserve how it went down.

You should probably worry about your own team. Texas hasn’t looked great.
re: LOL @ Tennessee. So worried about MSU's Cow Bells, they go to the SEC.

Great flex. Too bad it’s not true.

I haven’t tried every Weller but of the ones I have, I liked the 12-year old, Black label the best. Very smooth.
I have a bottle of the 10-year old Old Rip Van Winkle. Maybe my expectations were too high but I wasn’t blown away.
I will say of the more common ones available, the Woodford Reserve Double Oak Barrel Select Bourbon might be my favorite. I’m sure our friends from Kentucky can offer more insight on which ones to try,

Bruce screwed Auburn over royally by his late announcement and forcing the AD to hire his son. I hope for your sake the buyout terms are very flexible.

You do realize you have 3 more SEC home games every year, right?

Offense:
QB - improved
OL - improved
RB - improved because of OL
TE - improved because of depth
WR - needs improvement, a lot of dropped balls. Young and inexperienced
Defense:
DT: TBD - very thin. 2 key DT’s are out but expected back in Sept/Oct.
DE: TBD - I didn’t see much that jumped out but there were some solid plays made
LB: improved
DB: TBD - talents there but young and inexperienced. 1 experienced DB is out for an extended period of time due to an injury on Saturday. AA DB is expected back in mid-to-late Sept.
Special Teams: same

Georgia lost Carson Beck to an injury late in the season and had to play a true freshman. That’s not an NIL issue. That’s unfortunate luck.

I wouldn’t lump Georgia into your argument. They seem to be doing just fine outside of the endless # of traffic violations.
