My hunch is that stealing defensive signals is not going to gain you much if anything (for ScJr). I remember watching the game and thinking Rattler couldn't miss on anything he threw. He threw dimes all night, and our D acted like they could not tackle anyone. It did fell "off" as you put it be Carolina had not come close to being that good all year long to that point.

You gain confidence knowing where the blitzes are coming from, which receiver will be open and in what window. You don't have to do all the extra stuff. You don't have to go through the progressions. Yeah, he his throws he didn't normally make, but that confidence probably helped him.

Its much ado about nothing.

Tennessee paid players, which is now legal. And something happened, because its us.

Saturday's game is perfect microcosm of our larger issue. Players getting manhandled, yet we get called for a lber arm getting raised.

So, yes! I fervently, ardently, unequivocally stand by my comment. It is absolutely much ado about nothing. I despise the victim card, yet here we are.

Because its Michigan, and because we are Tennessee, and it impacted us. NOTHING, Nothing will happen punitively. NCAA would fine us 10,000,000.00 if roles were reversed.

And we would smile, bend over, and spread.

Just win.

Just because an offense is looked over doesn't mean it's "nothing". It's still an offense, and if there is corruption and injustice attached to the offense, then that makes it even MORE of a "something".

There's a big difference in saying "this is much ado about nothing", and saying that it is, "much ado about something, that will probably result in no action by the powers that be; but hell, maybe if enough people make much ado about it, it'll focus more light on the injustices".

Couple of snippets from the game thread that night. The cliff notes are: our defense was totally lost and looked defeated. They had guys open on every single play, and seemed to hit the open man every time. They were always able to run the ball away from the attack point. They picked up every blitz.

Hendon and the WRs struggled with the coverages. Our WRs had to make contested catches.

None of it added up. It could've been high-level execution and prep work by USCjr but if it comes out they had our signs then I won't be shocked based on what we saw that night.

Stealing defensive signals would be more valuable than stealing offensive signals. With offensive signals, even if you know the play, the QB still has the ball and can improvise, etc.

As an offense, if you know the defensive calls, you could almost… well… go from scoring 0 offensive points one week against an unranked team, to scoring TDs on 9/10 drives the next week against a top-5 team.

y'all fight the good fight, then.

I'll sit here, on a beautiful fall day. Cold beer in one hand, stain brush in the other, enjoying the colors.

Its tale...as time.

I'll never forget the time I had to use my machete to take on Nadir Shah and his Timed Daggar at the Papermill Waffle House parking lot. Things weren't looking good for me but then @Weezer showed up naked looking for a plate of pancakes and ole Nadir screamed and ran away saying something about how they stone people like that to death where he comes from.

Okay, I was a 14 pages behind and the moment the USCjr knew our signals conspiracy theory started I got hooked and read all of it in one go.

I’m fully on board. I’m going to believe this to the level that flat earthers believe the world is actually flat. You can present all the evidence you want saying otherwise, I won’t believe it.

This message seems to be on 'repeat'. Is McGill broken?

It is simplistic in meaning...and there is no point in long winded flowery argument or coming up with a different retort every damn time.

You folks just will..or rather can...not accept the truth of our situation...as I've already said, the proof of bias against Tennessee in every sport is in the absolute FACT that we screwed harder and more often than any other program in college sports by officials and rules changes.

I’m right there too. Between all this and the referees. It’s hard to get excited or into anything since the blatant Alabama game. 1 penalty for 5 yards my a$$

The officials in the Bama game is actually worse imo. But it would be ignored by the press anyway, if this news hadn't displaced it.
