Not really taking up for Byrd. Looks like he is perilously close to being an afterthought or worse. BUT, Im still gonna wait until he is either no longer with the team or the season plays out before I conclude that ANY of the players are failures.
I know some people disagree, but I really think our previous coaching staff had that big of a negative impact on the players. Some more than others for myriad reasons.
UT's design program is annually one of the better among state schools in the country. There are some schools that do really great, creative work, tho. OSU, Oklahoma, WASHU, Bama, UGA are a few. But UT definitely holds its own, and their new video director is a noticeable upgrade, too.
Ive done both, and you want to be in the bowl if its a big game. The atmosphere is significantly altered in the box
Definitely. Ive had the opportunity to watch from the skybox and sit next to Joe D., hes a surprisingly down to earth dude btw, but I agree that the bowl is where its at atmosphere wise.
