But Joe Milton wasn’t a regular backup and then beat Clemson. So, they make it subjective and think they can predict the future? That’s what you are saying. Again, it’s about ratings more than anything else.

Yes they make it subjective and try to predict the future. That's literally their stated purpose. They try to predict the best 4 teams. They had the bcs which was much more objective, but they didn't like, so they moved away from it to a committee model where humans try to predict the best 4 current teams instead of the 4 teams that had the best seasons. How are you surprised by this?

Cmon man we’ve been over this. Your son in law is a great person and a police officer.

This dude is tasing and beating an unarmed inebriated civilian with his metal handcuffs, sitting on top of and repeatedly throwing haymakers to the face. They’re not just trying to make them comply, and they’re lucky they didn’t kill one of these fans.

I want to see the rest of it...that's all. And once again I will ask..how would you have subdued the guy? He was not complying...would you have just left him to keep doing whatever mischief that started this while mess?

How do you know that when the cop told him/them tbat they were under arrest that he/they didn't take a swing at the cops and set all of this off?

Like I said...we don't know. Excuse me if I don't just side with the dumbass drunk just because he is getting his ass whipped for fighting back jnstead of complying.

I don't understand this society side compulsion to side with the idiots that start all of this crap just because they look pitiful once they've gotten way past the eff around, and gotten to the find out stage.

It's kind of funny the benefit of the doubt Texas gets during these early playoff discussions. What's their best win? 3 point road win against Vandy? Is getting blown out at home by UGA good enough to guarantee your spot in the playoffs?

CFP panel might think exactly like this and they have every reason to

November 4, 1972

UT - 14
Georgia - 0

The #13 ranked Vols traveled to Athens to face Georgia. After a lackluster performance the week before, the OL dominated. Bill Emendorfer was named AP Southeast Lineman of the Week as Haskel Stanback and Bill Rudder combined for 174 yrds rushing. Condredge Holloway threw for two touchdowns in the Vols 14-0 victory.

The defense posted their first shutout since 1963 as Art Reynolds and Conrad Graham ended Bulldog drives with interceptions.

Two cops can cuff a person without beating them senseless first.

You ever tried to subdue a drunk redneck that doesn't want to be subdued? I've been in way worse fights than those guys and cops were nowhere around or part of it...and I guarantee you those folks got off light compared to some of the total beatdowns I've seen inflicted on inebriated big mouthed fools that started 💩 with the wrong people.

I mean technically you are knocking him by speculating about his possible departure in which there has been no reason given he will or not other than injuries which happens a lot in football.

He definitely could go and has every right if that is what he wants to do, but I’m not sure it’s right of us to act like we are not “knocking” him when we are speculating about him.

I like the kids and hope he stays. I don’t question his skillset and abilities. Not knocking for saying he’s injury-prone. Just the truth.

I know the refs screwed us majorly on his deep ball where even the announcers commented how the defender had a hold of his arm the entire time so he could only try and catch it with one hand, two refs watching, yet no call. You can't make this up.
We did that and they'd call holding, illegal formation, illegal touching, personal foul, and false start all for the one play. :rolleyes:

Holding his arm was the least of it, he freaking ran him over.

Totally agree with you, shocker isn't it?

From a real life experience with a couple of Cops after being pulled over intoxicated, I received a cracked rib from being let's just say not so cooperative.😏

Hope they get sued to oblivion. Maybe these dudes were “non-compliant” but they certainly don’t look violent. Beatings appear uncalled for. And shooting a taser gun in the middle of a crowd of people? What the hell.

In situations like this strictly speaking on right from wrong…i blame everyone who watched or filmed with a camera instead of jumping in on that bs….I’ll take that charge..and with how technology works today going “viral”. I’d be bailed out and have lawyer representation by the next business day…we talk about bad cops all of the time but stand by and watch when s*** like this happens and make it a talking piece instead.


(Not directed at anyone) just venting

Question:

Would you rather Ole Miss beat UGA this weekend and then play us with 2 losses and probably ranked 7th or 8th (behind us) or would you rather we play a UGA team that beats Ole Miss and stays ranked at No. 2?

This is not being talked about enough. A HOME PLAYOFF GAME IN NEYLAND.

What if we win out the regular season and lose the SEC championship. Then I think we’d be in the 5-8 seed.

What would you rather have: a SEC Champion and 1st round bye; or, SEC runner up , and a first round Home game.

It’s kinda weird to say, but I’d like that Home Playoff game. Would be the most electric crowd ever.

Win-win either way, but I have to say I wanna bye and be the SEC champion, and it’s not close!
