Recruiting Football Talk VII

Except Peyton would move the SEC office to Knoxville, on the UT campus.

That’s where his office would be located, but the official office site would be located in Nashville so that other teams could not claim favoritism for Tennessee.

Gotta keep up appearances.

Yes because that's why bama beat both Tennessee and LSU without giving up a point in the second half

LSU scored in the 2nd half.

But they allowed themselves to fall behind 13 by halftime? Or get whipped by Texas? Or us last year? Or not even make the playoffs last year?

THE most talented team the last 12+ years running should be dominating everyone not named UGA or OSU. And yet Bama is literally at its lowest point since Saban arrived...what a strong theory...

Love that they have drama, and its not us for a little while

I hope Michigan burns themselves by getting a judge to let Harbaugh coach this weekend and then they lose. I mean if they really take their own conference to court, do you really think the Big 10 is going to be cool with that? Talk about pooping where you sleep.

If the sharps and big money were going to bet Tennessee -2, why wouldn't they have taken Tennessee at +1?

Because Tennessee at -2 is with them knowing that Burden is out? Just speculation on my part.

Michigan is pathetic

i’m proud of anyone that stands up and fights.

He’s not wrong, but “the B1G should be just as corrupt as the SEC” doesn’t help his case as much as thinks it does.

Ha, someone should tell him that ohio state is the bama of the b1g, not michigan so they are fair game !

It's fascinating that the conference is willing to suspend him from coaching on game days until the regular season ends, but then they want him available to coach games in the postseason.

Hey VN...........

I don't do stuff like this, but I know the love and compassion on this forum.

I have to put down my golden lab Phoebe today after 15 years. She truly saved my life during some very difficult life experiences. She has been my best friend since the day I brought her home and will be missed more than anyone can imagine.
Some thoughts and prayer would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

They tend to bet later once there's more info. It's like betting during the preseason...why? You're just accepting a bet with less info than there will be at gametime.

Hurts their potential opportunities sometimes, helps others, but they don't worry about that. May pull a bet that's gone sideways because of the public or, on the flip side, double down on one that's garnered more EV if it's gone their way. Moot.


(Speaking on sharps - generic big money is as useless as the public, if not more cavalier)

Ok..I’m in an awkward situation right now..have a good friend that’s a Michigan fan..We we’re discussing the current scandal and I sent him a link to that post that is comparing w/l records before and after CS entered the picture..I’m getting silence right now..

Vols slowly turning into DBU and you Willie haters can’t even see it. First he elevated Alontae Taylor’s draft stock and put Theo into the league. Now he’s revitalized Hadden’s career and likely has him in position to get drafted as well. With Ricky Gibson III, Cai Bates, Jordan Matthews, and Boo Carter we will have dynamic athletic covering the entire field. Now with the pressure that Garner’s gang will assuredly produce, we will have the elite defense we’ve all been craving for 20 years

Sorry but until the majority of the fan base is not scared to death when the ball is in the air we shouldn't consider ourselves DBU Lmao.

Good, their little scheme indirectly cost us a chance at the playoffs. Let him have it.

Is it a jurisdiction thing?

I'm still not familiar with a conference punishing their own coach, but maybe they can enforce it in B1G vs B1G games. I'd be surprised if they had any power in interconference matchups.

I missed that post. Can you re-post it or post a link to the previous post?

Michigan is a member of The Big We Can't Count Conference whether it's a regular season game or a post-season game, so I would think that the conference always has jurisdiction.

I wouldn’t be so invested in the outcome of the whole thing if it hadn’t affected UT.

Wow! That's a stunning difference.

It may as well said before cheating and after cheating.

That would be huge news as he's been practicing. I thought it was well known he's full-go(?) I would not cry

Having the best roster doesn’t always mean you will win. That’s why there are upsets. There used to be so many upsets in college football that every game every week was interesting. It has gradually become more boring every year since the playoffs started because only 4 teams can get in. So it became obvious that leagues started protecting their teams that might get in. Too many millions at stake. In the SEC a team can have a loss and still have good odds. If you were paying attention, the teams with one loss (especially AL since with their roster they should not lose 2) started getting favorable calls at convenient times. When they played TN last year both were undefeated…let it go. Play LSU…let it go so GA gets an easy route. This year playing TN and LSU, best for the SEC if AL wins. AL is at it’s lowest point because Saban is slipping and his coaching carousel plus drop off at QB and LB. But what convinced me was when I noticed it happening in other conferences. You don’t have to believe it. It’s more fun if you don’t. I am down to just watching Tennessee when I used to watch all day. Hope the expanded playoff helps by bringing in different teams and talent spreading out and conferences wanting more teams to get the opportunity.

Maybe Michigan should make Connor Stalions their new head coach after Harbaugh bolts for the NFL this offseason. It would appear that he made a bigger difference in the program than hiring Harbaugh did.
