    Vols open -1.5 to -2.5

    I don't know what our financial situation is. If by chance a change was to be determined needed to be made, I would prefer we hired a Head Coach who had success as HC at 2 different schools. THAT has been our most successful Head Coach hires at SC, BUT, if we are not in good financial health...

    Vols open -1.5 to -2.5

    kidrobinski, I agree with some of what you said there.

    Not a fan of parity

    People need to adjust to change. I'm old enough to remember when polls ranked only the Top 10 teams. They later expanded the polls to rank the Top 25. They used polls to determine the national champion. Except for NIL and the transfer portal (both of which I intensely dislike), I am as...

    Not a fan of parity

    :D Like I said, I was not in favor of going beyond 16. To me, that was the perfect number. That said, I'm not going to waste my time complaining about them going to 24. They are going to do what they want. Besides. it will probably mean more money for the schools. To quote Jack Nicholson, "And...

    Vols open -1.5 to -2.5

    Would it shock anyone if Texas and Bama are in the market for Head Coaches after this season? Some schools do not settle for mediocrity as their destiny. I admire that.

    Vols open -1.5 to -2.5

    As am I. Obviously, they see that Florida beat a highly ranked Texas team on the road and say USC must be good to have destroyed UF in Gainesville

    Not a fan of parity

    When I was in graduate school at USC in the mid 1970s, one of my professors in class said something that astonished me and I considered nauseous. 50 years later I do not remember the subject matter that prompted him to say this. He said. "If you are being raped, lay back and enjoy it.". I...

    I Wasn't In Favor Of It

    I agree. The bowls are the equivalent to the NIT in basketball. They are meaningless. I was in favor of expanding the playoffs to 16 and no more. But now that it's going to 24, I'm fine with that. Just enjoy it.

    If we don't beat UT....

    We screwed that up hiring a failed SEC Head Coach to replace him and then followed that up with a position coach, whom the jury is still out on. Regardless how Shane Beamer does, I don't believe anyone will argue when I say that we have yet to replace Spurrier with the same caliber of Head Coach...

    If we don't beat UT....

    Evidently the powers at USC feel differently about winning the SEC East Division championship. I'm fine too with the flying of the banner. It's not like we have a lot to brag on regarding our football history. I agree with the powers at USC and say take what we can get. No credible sources say...

    If we don't beat UT....

    As I said, he is a UF grad and thus is his first collegiate love. I know that some fans hold quitting at mid-season against him and always will. I just don't and won't. I blame Ray Tanner for talking him out of retiring after the 2014 season. He did win a championship, the SEC East, something...

    If we don't beat UT....

    I know Spurrier loves SC. But being a UF grad, I wonder if he was going with his heart? I was thinking the other day that Spurrier is without doubt, the best football coach we have ever had, making us nationally relevant for a period of time. If a statue was ever to be made of a USC coach, it...

    Briles' offense

    Briles offense is ranked 17th in Total Offense. That's excellent. But what stands out to me about Briles is that he recognized Clements skill as Offensive Line coach and, thus, brought him to SC with him. Our line play is miles better under Clements than it was under Teasley and company. That...

    If we don't beat UT....

    Which would be better for us: Alabama or UT winning this Saturday in Knoxville? Spurrier believes Bama will win. Have to believe that getting UT right after they play Bama is to our advantage.
