I would argue it is not nearly 1/5. Of all of the other 4 areas, it is the least important. With the new rules regarding safety, it has gone way down the list in importance.

I agree. The 1/5 wasn’t meant to be literal but it is one team of 5 in the kicking game all be it the least important now

Just watched a clip from Booger McFarland on SVP show where he pulls out a cigar. He said “every year it’s a tradition where winner lights up a cigar in Alabama Tennessee game. Alabama has been beating up on Tennessee and we all see them with the cigars. I don’t know if they can beat up Tennessee anymore. So for all my Tennessee friends this is for you. We whipped that butt for you.”

Went back and watched again “I don’t know if they will be able to beat Tennessee anytime soon”

That's different than he portrayed it last night. He is still a tool, IMO.

I still think he is crap 💩 based off of kicking the program when it was down. Can’t flip flop. You are either behind the staff or you aren’t.

It's not his job to be behind the staff as a journalist. He's not working for RTI or some other homer media outlet. He messed up by trying to pile on with the "LOL UT SUXXXX" tweets to try and expand his fanbase and generate controversy. Now he looks stupid because UT is rapidly improving and looks legit under Pruitt.

Exactly what I mean. I’m okay with you being straight forward and telling it how it is as a Sports Reporter. But don’t kick a program while it’s down on your social media and expect them to reciprocate access. Hence what I meant by you are either behind the staff or you aren’t. A lot of the articles he came out with during that period of time weren’t his normal writing style and he was choosing sides. His old style he just reported the facts and let the reader make the determination.

Agreed. Maybe he's sick of covering programs as a traditional journalist and wanted some notoriety. He picked a really, really bad time though, because he's not very well known among UT fans and now all people will remember him for is his heel turn.

I’m legit worried about the mizzou game.

Just worried how they’re much better at home than on the road. Odom will go for blood after we tried to poach players, and idk how well this team handles success.

We’re getting a lot of positive press. Team needs to stay grounded.

That would be an interesting matchup. Michigan would be favored but I think we could make things interesting. Good for recruiting if we smacked them in Florida.

I think we would win actually. Michigan would be sitting at 9-3 with nothing to play for again and we would be fired up. Plus they'd be the 4th best team on our schedule this year and it would be another chance at a signature win.
