Lol disagree with what? Facts about the SEC championship game?

And of course the NCAA will do what it wants.

That’s a profoundly different position than - the NCAA should allow auto bids because “it’s fair” and “the nfl does it”.

We will, I think we get one of FSU and Miami, we might take Clemsuck just to keep the B10 from getting them, and eventually I think we get one or two of the NC and VA schools.

To get into new markets though, I think we need a Kansas school and then maybe someone in the NE above the Mason Dixon.

Lastly, I think eventually you will see conferences adding teams that are close and don't give them new markets just to keep others from getting them.

Conference realignment is about TV ratings and recruiting. Forget the Northeast Yankees do not watch college football, pro is king and they are not the prime recruiting areas. Kansas is a no go because we already have the biggest draw in the midwest. The two most lucrative growing areas for viewers and recruits for the SEC and the country are the Carolinas and Virginia.

Tennessee is last in the SEC in passing plays of 20 yards (9)​


A year after the Vols were No. 2 in the SEC and No. 19 nationally with 55 completions of 20 yards, they rank last in the SEC and No. 106 nationally. Even Florida has 12 completions of 20 yards. That’s not ideal.

Not surprising. Milton is garb.

Milton is not 'garb'. With a steady offensive line, he can be quite effective if utilized correctly. For me, that means running him more and yes, making longer throws if he has time. He also apparently has the full support of the locker room. Is he great? No, inaccuracy remains an issue. Can we win with him? Absolutely. Glad to have him to stand in for a year after Hendon.

If Tennessee would have won the SEC title in 2007 when they were 9-3, they should have gotten an auto bid to the playoffs when they were not a top 12 team ranked. Maybe you disagree. Idk how many times I need to explain the power conferences should get an auto bid. It’s my opinion, I’ve stated why I think that. You’ll be alright little buddy🤞🏼

Great fansmanship there.

Milton has had some throws over 20 yds dropped. I'm not saying I think he's played well because he hasn't. But let's see how everyone comes along before calling him "garb".

How many games does he need?

In hindsight, "break" may have been too strong a word. It implies more than I meant. Do I want to hurt the kid? Yes. I want him to hurt. I want him to dread getting hit. Do I want to knock him out of the game? Again, yes. Do I want to end his career and leave him to a life of bare-knuckle brawling on the Waffle House circuit? No. But hell yes, I want to hurt him.

One of my favorite scenes from a football movie. This convo reminded me of it.

According to AP he’s been cleared for a couple weeks, it’s up to Cooper when he plays.

AP said the recovery estimate given by his surgeon ended two weeks ago. But that is not at all the same thing as the doctor saying he's ready to play. Doctors don't say "Player X is healthy and ready to play" for any injury. It is going to be based on what the player feels.

I do think Heup giving the impression that Cooper has been practicing and sitting out the games is silly and he shouldn't do that. AP and Hubbs said Cooper did not do a single team period during Florida week. Flying him down there and dressing him out was just silly imo.

Hurt, not injure.
