Anybody else watching The U?

[Lawrence Wright]

I'm meaning that Kiffin takes the attention off the player and onto him.

I don't think the Miami players EVER took attention off of themselves.

In fact they're the reason why excessive celebration penalties exist in college football.

Screw the U...

haha true story. I just see a little bit of a "Swagger" building at UT

We beat The "U" 35-7 in the 1985 Sugar Bowl...they wore all the army gear and got it handed to them. They didn't give us a shot in the dark to beat them.

Not only did we beat them, but my friend Chris White intercepted Vinnie.........That was sweet. Chris and I are still very good friends today. Brings back memories.

Does anybody think that this UT coaching staff is doing things similar to what Jimmy Johnson was doing at Miami? When they said that "Coach Johnson told us just to go out and win, and he'd take care of everything else." ?

Maybe... I'm getting a little fired up watching this 30 in 30...

 

[Lawrence Wright]

You sure about that?

Yep...I'm sure.

1984 - 8-5
1985 - 10-2
1986 - 11-1
1987 - 12-0

JJ never went 7-5 at Miami.

You're right. He went 8-5.

 

[vollygirl]

You're right. He went 8-5.

And we've got one game to left to play.

JJ never went 7-5 at Miami.

He inherited a national champion and lost 5 games. I'd say Kiffin stacks up just fine with that.

 

[Lawrence Wright]

He also inherited a national champion.

Objection, relevance?

JJ never went 7-5 at Miami.

JJ never went 7-5 at Miami.

Kiffin never went 7-5 at UT. But yeah, clearly taking over a 5-7 team is the same as taking over a program one of college football's greatest architects built.

I'm loving every minute of this show.

Clearly this 30 in 30 documentary about Miami is proof positive Tennessee will compete for the national title next season....all because Kiffin is brash like the 80s Hurricane teams.

It's hilarious. "This place sucks. Let's kick their ass and get out of here." I hope our guys are soon thinking the same thing when they travel in the SEC.

 

[vollygirl]

And my husband just fell asleep. LOL Bless his heart. I worked him hard today. Should've recorded this for him.

 

[hatvol96]

I'm guessing the '87 and '93 Sugar Bowls won't be mentioned in the documentary.

I bet the 31-4 win over Florida in '87 would make a nice segment.

"I had rings I threw away. Gave em' to girls at Spring Break"

Best quote ever.

Great. Back away from that whole 7-5 issue.

Me too, I kinda miss the good ole showboating days... that was awesome!

 

[Business]

I would love if the celebration rule was taken from the books.

If Tennessee wins their bowl game, they finish 8-5. Want to guess what Jimmy Johnson's record in 1984, his first season at Miami, was? If you're going to talk history, it helps to actually know it.

"....like watching our highlight reel...." lmbo!!!

" I respect FSU, because they kept us on their schedule, Unlike the Gators" LOVE IT

"I wasn't worried about the game, I was worried about how to shuffle, my women"

 

[KingNick865]

This is probably the best 30 for 30 documentary that they've had on thus far. I'm literally laughing at some of the crazy stuff on here.

Don't bother. He can't comprehend anything.
