    College Football Will Be Fine and You're Just Being Dramatic.

    Well written Hairy vol, I generally concur with you. I do think NIL is still in its early stages and it will settle down. It’s needs things like “if you enter the portal you cannot come back” create some repercussions as right now all the player is creating is a bidding war to up the price...

    Finish with DTs. Who's Available?

    A very valid thread. In my last report I mentioned that Defensive Tackle was in my opinion our biggest need and whilst I am overall very happy with the Portal "business" we have only seen Xavier Gilliam (a decent start) arrive so lets hope one or two 340llb Nose Tackles can be found in the rough.

    Superb point volfanga. CJH got ruthless with the defensive situation and went outside his normal connections and got a big upgrade, I too am excited about next season.

    SEASON 2025: GRADES I have personally been asked to write a report not on an individual game but on the 2025 season overall, so please blame them if you are suffering from ‘A View from Big Ben fatigue’. To help me base the grades below I have tried to take into account what my expectations were...

    GAME 13 - ILLINOIS I can’t believe that this is the last game of the 2025 season (did I hear a boo?) and thus my last report of the season (did I hear a hurray?) but until college sports realises that 12 or 13 games is not maximising the revenue stream, it is what the season is. Bowl games are...

    I am sorry that my report varied so much from week to week but you should have read my first draft last night !! At the start of the season I would have bet my house on losing in Florida and beating Vandy , but fortunately I don't bet. I fear that shuffling coaches will not resolve the fact...

    GAME 12 – Vanderbilt Firstly I want to say that I want Tennessee to win every game, I want us to win every quarter, I want us to win every 3rd down, heck I even want us to win the toss of the coin before the game, so last night was hard, so very hard, but In many ways it was a microcosm of the...
