Living here in Alabama, the years before Saban were fun. Finebaum wasn't SEC network then, just broadcasting and being syndicated around the state. He's always been a bit of a prick, but listening to him during the "Mikes" was gold (Mike Shula, Mike Dubose, Mike Price - too bad Francione...

NIL seems to be more out of control in favor of the players. Maybe it's about time to flip that. I have a lot of friends that can't stand where college football is now and have quit their fandom. The word "ruined" surfaces a lot. Maybe a couple of lawsuits like this to set a precedent will...

A bunch of us said "eff all the voters" when Manning lost. Thing is, we knew and Manning didn't have to say it, he let us. Difference is, Vandy folks not sticking up for him in that way, because he has now alienated himself by tarnishing the croissant eating, tweed car coat with elbow patches...

Along the same lines as "The gulf of America", Texas could have been called Texaco.

Saban is the bank

N.I.L. not interested long

After the Vandy game, I've been looking for a thread to park for a while. This is ideal. I've got a few destinations for my ashes - I've only got a "nickel bag" budgeted for a secret location close to or around or on some "hill" in Tennessee. When I was married, I started listing the places...

I see what you did there and salute you.

Not only that, but it blows my mind that the Kessling hate has morphed. For a while, it seemed that the mood here was "anybody is an upgrade over Kessling", and here we go. I listen to wivk in the stadium and don't really see a problem. Kessling wasn't Ward, Keith isn't Ward. Ward set the...

Can you imagine what it must have been like at halftime? 31-0. (But like some are saying on their gator podcasts.. never forget that THEY WON THE SECOND HALF)

Regional talent isn't as important as it once was with NIL. $$$ is the magnet now. What's the chances of Nico coming to Tenn. without NIL? Because Vandy is knocking at the playoff door (Think about that a minute... Vandy...), it's a whole new paradigm. Don't feel guilty about beating them...

I wouldn't say this is about celebrating Nico's failure. It's more about UT dodging a bullet and the facts about Nico are revealing themselves, just not in Knoxville. I have no hard feelings towards Nico. We all know the circumstances of how he got where he is. Johnny Majors used to say "You...

You are dating yourself. I'll take it one step further - just think if the player that didn't execute on that critical play came up to him and said 'Golleeee. Coach Jones'. That's the kind of things that made Sgt Carter mad.

A sweet win, but I've been "that guy" for many years against them. I get it.
