- There’s no other four-letter English word besides “fact” that contains all the letters F, A, C, and T. FACT

It just seems like "Who you beat" is more important than "Who you lost to." There's so many examples of this.

Notre Dame losing to NIU yet still in the drivers seat to enter the playoff.
Bama because they beat Georgia and LSU yet lost to VANDY and Vols.
Indiana is undefeated in the Big10 but only now being respected for it. And already talk that if they have 1 loss they're out unless they beat OSU because they'd have no quality wins.

omg Josh Palmer almost Randy Mossed that one

 

[Jackcrevol]

Really hope the DL play last two weeks is an anomaly. Watching this Ole Miss game their line gave UGA fits.

 

[Jackcrevol]

gotta think. if we had WR'a like Burden or Wiese we would win a Natty.

 

[barrylee]

FWIW we beat Miss State worse than uga did…with our backup qb

Yep, I’ve seen some bitching about our defense during the game. Ms State scored 31 vs Ga, 24 vs Tx A&M, 25 vs Arky! So we stack up pretty favorably!

Last time UT beat UF, Bama, and UGA in the same season was???? 1998?

2004

 

[mrMet]

lol if that was Josh dobbs on the titans 2 years ago, that’s ruled a fumble. What a joke

What is wrong in your brain where you just spew awful take after awful take?

 

[drvenner]

Anyone notice how close Thornton was to being on a stupid plays highlight reel when he scored? Nearly dropped the ball before scoring.

I didn't see it during the game but it was very close

 

[JacketVol]

I am not claiming that Lebby instructed it (I don't suspect that at all), but the players were getting "chippy," as the announcers put it when they mean they see it, but they wish the officials not to intervene.

It falls on the coach to control his team and have a better culture than that is all I am saying. I saw someone yell at Boo after a return and was just thankful he got up and ran off the field.

 

[JacketVol]

Last night wasn’t a game plan issue. There were a couple of busts that didnt appear to be executed appropriately.


Also, I sort of have a problem saying much bad a game in which we gave up 275 yards and 14 points.

On that TD run by them up the middle untouched, we seem confused and I saw Pierce have to go out and cover the slot receiver. A time out was probably needed.

I’m on page 2813 with last post on page at 3:25 central time yesterday. How we feeling today??

The real question. . . how was today's hangover for you?

I guess you'll find out on Tuesday.

Not much thinkin' happenin' on that take.

I don't think WRs are the problem...

Y'all remember when Jerry Jones traded Troy Pollard but kept Zeke Elliot lololol

Then we should be top 3 for beating Alabama, beating the “ all mighty tide” should rank us above a lot of teams.

Technically, Tony Pollard signed with Titans as a FA.

I actually think us being over Texas is a legitimate argument right now. Their best win is a 3pt victory over Vandy in Nashville.

"Y'all remember when Jerry Jones let Tony Pollard walk" oops

 

[knoxvol52]

"Y'all remember when Jerry Jones let Tony Pollard walk" oops

Correct.

Can't pay everyone big bucks.

They let Elliot go two years and had Pollard for a year without him. Then, they didn’t trade Pollard- they just didn’t re-sign him. They didn’t want to pay him and thought he’d lost a step after his injury. They brought back Elliott this year when they needed help. They didn’t have the money to sign someone like Henry.
