I have since had that pointed out and acknowledged it a few posts back.

The chance to play at hone in the Rose Bowl went right over my head.

To be fair the post I originally replied to said nothing about playing at home in front of family in the Rose Bowl.

If you listen to OSU talking heads on the matchup they are still talking about Michigan. I think they might still be hungover. I hope so.

That is exactly what they are doing. I didn't really know where to look for their stuff, I just went and looked for random stuff. It is hard to find anything on their podcasts about the game with us, they are mostly counting on long playoff run. Every OSU podcast is mostly whining about the Michigan game and Ryan Day. It doesn't seem like they know a lot about Tennessee or football in general. No one knows any of our players beyond stats and they don't know anything about Heup and our offense really.
General consensus ranges from we will be a minor bump in the road to we are going to get rolled.
Most aren't really concerned about our defense, they think they are stronger at running back. Sampson gets a lot yards but that because he has a larger workload. Some are concerned about their o-line but the feeling is that they have two weeks and will figure something out.
That's what I have seen, anybody see anything else?

Wrong, we only get AI snow in Tennessee. Buddy they get genuine undiluted frozen H2O up there in Ohio. If you have never seen real snow you had better prepare yourself. I hear Ohio snow is like fentanyl, one flake could kill like 5,000 Tennesseans. If it snows, this game could make Hiroshima look like a garden party.

I did say..IF..this is true, that it is embarrassing. I don't really believe that it is true though.

What I do believe is that our pockets are nowhere near as deep as most of those big names on that list, and the money we do have is not just spent foolishly or ever will be. We have seen that approach fail spectacularly at other places.

We pass on, or bow out of bidding wars on, players that us fans would really want us to do whatever it takes to bring them in...that is just the truth of it.

And that gets frustrating because we all know how close we are to being an absolute steamroller instead of really good team with weak spots here and there.

But I get it, and I support our approach to it...as long as we keep putting really good competitive teams out there that are full of guys that are easy to pull for.

It sucked to lose Shady...that one is really going to sting for a while..but the truth is that Florida is absolutely desperate right now and we are not.

Something no one is really talking about is that none of the teams that were throwing NIL around like a cheap hooker and buying teams, it didn't really pan out.
