    To our Tennessee board regulars....

    Haha, I know just how Della feels. There are no weak hearts left in Tennessee, we just weeded all of them out! :) Thanks for the well wishes, fellas. Will definitely be cheering for the 'Cats against Duke this weekend!

    SEC struggling

    *nod* I get it, Pile Driver. But I don't think anyone, anywhere, is touting the SEC as the top dog in 2016, much less vastly superior. The SEC stunk it up, relative to expectations, and pretty much everyone I know down here acknowledges it. Having said that, the SEC's bowl slate was pretty...

    SEC struggling

    I watched the OSU-Clemson game, Jack. It was amazing how outclassed the Buckeyes looked. It was even worse than the (really lopsided) score, if you can believe that. I was shocked that was Urban Meyer standing on the sideline, never seen a team he coached look that out of place on a football...

    SEC struggling

    Here are a couple of interesting statistics about the 2016 season: Only 7 teams in all of FBS have fewer than 3 losses. Crazy low, compared to most years.* Every Power 5 conference has only one team with fewer than 3 losses. This has been a season for the muddy middle...everyone dragged (just...

    Which is Worse?

    Man, you nailed it. Miss State games are the only ones where I always turn the sound off within seconds of tuning in. Just constant annoyance, all ... game ... long. Even worse than having to listen to Gary and Verne. Hehe. :)

    SEC struggling

    So it turns out maybe this thread was started a bit prematurely. Can be embarrassing, that. Looks like the ACC are the darlings of the 2016 season, esp. if Clemson finds a way to knock off Bama. Paradoxically, Bama beating Clemson would not do nearly as much for the reputation of the SEC...

    So did NU have the best B1G bowl win?

    I do think the Cats' win was the best. It was a strong performance against a good team.

    Which is Worse?

    Kinda partial to Rocky Top myself. :)

    SEC struggling

    Well, that caveat I mentioned about unexpected outcomes...they're happening. Michigan and Ohio State both losing in games they were favored to win. So it's looking more and more like the B10 will not have a great bowl season, even if Iowa, Wisconsin, and Penn State finish strong. That would...

    SEC struggling

    Man, you are right. They're 7-3 in bowls so far. That's a lot better than the SEC's 4-5 or the B10's 2-4 to date. They were 12-8 against OOC Power 5 opponents in the regular season, too (though a significant percentage of that was beating up on punching bag Notre Dame). So yeah, they could...

    SEC struggling

    It really hasn't. Josh Dobbs may be the most talented of the lot, and--much as I love and appreciate him--he's not consistent enough as a passer to be considered one of the best in the nation. Jalen Hurtz is good, but he benefits from being part of a system; you almost get the feeling any...

    SEC struggling

    I really respect the Nebraska fan base. And yet, I never went to visit their boards. As much as I look up to them as good sports and good people, I've never been intrigued by the Cornhuskers. Perhaps because I had one as a college roommate, he was just a country boy, like me. I came to your...

    SEC struggling

    Yep, really bad year for the SEC, aside from Bama. We were below .500 against Power 5 teams out of conference during the regular season, and haven't had a particularly impressive start to the post-season. But there's still time to turn it around and have a decent end. Must let it play out to...

    Grats, Cats!

    I'm a bit worried and fervently hoping that the Vols don't go the opposite direction: take this bowl game for granted, not take it seriously enough. Nebraska's a good program, hope they have our players' and coaches' full attention.
