The reason to root for the Ohios Tate is to prevent Tejas, in our league and thus a more direct competitor, from advancing. Advancing is a recruiting advantage. Also some think that it will make us look better if the Ohio runs the table. And because we hate Tejas.

The reason to root for Tejas is to prevent the Ohios Tate, who we end up competing against in recruiting even more often lately, from advancing. Advancing is a recruiting advantage. Also, as you said, some think it is more immediately gratifying if the Ohio losses. And, as you said, because we hate the Suckeyes.

The reason for rooting for a meteor should be clear.

I pledged in my prayers to God the choice of my left nut or the naming rights to my first born son for a sinkhole in the middle of the field, no casualties of course, and so far nothing. What more does it take?

He would not have made a difference. Vols were out-manned and out-coached across the board. Step faster or more.

When you lose the spark everyone believes in it changes the complexion from staff to players. Imo. I think a fully healthy ut plays them as well as texas is.

I see you took the O/U on the meteor. I chose a return of the dark lord Cthulhu. There’s still time.

I agree and made a comment earlier about Bru, Squirrel, and Thornton playing way too much injured. We were supposedly "deep" in the WR room. That's what ticked me off the most, I thought we had plenty of dudes at WR. Pope just didn't do his job getting his squad ready and it showed.

I think wide receivers can play as frehmen and sophmores and be productive but offensive linemen need a couple of years to develop, especially in the SEC.

I think Boo will show us how much is Pope and how much was players not caring enough.

People forget good DBs have to know routes as well as WRs, Boo spent an entire year practicing against our offense & he’s been told “you learn it & you play” so no question about his motivation & dedication to learning it.

If we see him early & often and he plays well then maybe Pope was dealing with more dead weight than we realized. If Boo doesn’t get on the field then we have to question Pope and Heupel and their WR choices.

They changed their scheme and tendencies. I think Chip Kelly was given free rein after the Michigan loss. With all those weapons they should’ve always been a pass first and misdirection team.

With three weeks to prepare. We were the only team who didn’t have their new offensive looks and priories on film.

Lucky? I mean he’s the DC and obviously RG is allowed to develop & recruit his guys. Gotta also give some credit to Banks & Willie, secondary was improved a lot. Only 2 teams were able to really pass on them.

I’m hoping that WR room turnover helps the offense. Hyatt improved because he put in the work, seems like a lotta those guys leaving weren’t doing that.

Yes lucky. He didn't recruit or develop the DL, but the DL made him look better than I believe he actually is.

DL is the core of a defense. Nobody could pass on us because the DL was in the backfield so quickly. And the DL was in the backfield despite a super super basic scheme, so it's really hard for me to credit Banks. It doesn't mean Banks is bad, but he hasn't shown me anything at all yet to suggest he can out scheme sec OCs. However he hasn't really had to show that because like I said, he could just run base, rush 4, and get home most of the year because the DL was that good. Maybe when he has to actually be creative and adjust he will.

Then you should’ve never joined. Simple.

Btw, I constantly thanked King for every update he provided, you’re more than welcome to go look. I was an ass, and I didn’t do it for your kudos or for anyone’s approval.

I’m responding because you keep crying over anonymous forum post. If you don’t like how some of us communicate on here, you can leave and join VQ or Reddit.
