That my coach and my team. Doin it right.

So proud of our young men and how our entire AD has handled this. Change has gotta come. I'm tired of seeing dead citizens and I'm tired of hate and inequality in every day life. I'm tired of people in power abusing their power. People on all sides can bring an agenda to the discussion and muddy things up but that's really all this has ever been about. We have to change. It's heartbreaking, confusing and so many other things but we can get there.

That is one thing I remember a lot of guys that played for him say. He helped not just on the field but off and taught them more about life than football

The Jeremy Banks incident told me everything about coach. Although, Banks messed up big time the way Pruitt went to bat for him was special

If you haven't encountered this hell machine yet, it's not like a treadmill where your feet try to keep up with the band whipping around.
That is propelled by your own power and where you place your feet. Getting that speed that fast is ridiculous!

Down to #3 on recruiting according to 247. OH no ! We suck again!

i'm anxious to see how he handles the Tim Jordan situation. Isn't he a senior? maybe redshirt him

Rivals publicly liked the class most, ranking us as 7th best in the country, 247 composite had us at 10th, which was drawn down by the pricks at ESPN who had us at #18. If I use algebra and do a straight average to solve for 247 instead of their composite I think 247 in-house would rank our 2020 class at #5 in the nation last year. (7+18+X)/3 = 10; X = 5. jmo.

Thanks for another great post, as always, Chatt.

Fwiw, and maybe I'm missing something here, but 247 does post their own ranking. They had us 10th in-house (as well as composite) last year.

Loving the idea of redshirting seniors each year. If they aren't going to be able to start/have a big impact and will be buried on the depth chart, like Brandon Johnson would have been last year, then let em play 4 games and RS. Then they will get the spotlight their final year and have a legit shot to showcase for the NFL, which they would NOT have had the previous season.

Big time win-win for plenty of players and the team imo.

85 man roster more a factor than anything else imo.

 

[Catbone]

Will Whitehead and Hodge both be LBs? If Chandler or Gray goes down, will we have enough depth at RB? How much can Carlin Fils Aime contribute there?

Which is strange bc all 3 services have us currently with the #2 class lol.

Ahhh,

What’s wrong @Orangeredblooded

 

[UTSuave’]

Almost felt like a Butch Jones explanation and then I realized who it was and just agreed because I knew whatever he was saying lead to a W!

 

[UTSuave’]

Replace Peyton with JG

Honestly Tee...he never lost to Memphis and beat Florida

 

[UTSuave’]

How ‘bout this sob I killed at my dock a couple yrs ago......only good snake is a dead snake

Yeah, 9-4 with wins over UF and Bama seems like a waste of two good wins. Losses would likely come to OU and UGA, and then two losses to teams we should've beat (UK and South Carolina?). That would be improvement, overall, but would still leave a sour taste.

Wins over FL and AL are never a waste....just because that's who I want to beat most of all. It won't be a waste when it comes to recruiting either which means we would win more recruiting battles. Doesn't mean we would not lament losing to teams we expected to beat like GSU and BYU.

Tee never gets enough credit, imo. He was more than just a game manager but unfortunately he had to follow Peyton. Ironically, Tee topped him -- did what Peyton never could but Peyton's talent was so great and his personality so big that Tee gets almost forgotten about. Hell, I've heard "Peyton ain't walking through that door" many times and a lot of those times people are erronously under the impression that he was the one who brought home the hardware. Tee may not have thrown the prettiest pass ever but he held the NCAA record for completions, kept drives alive with his feet, had steady leadership and was a straight up baller. He was exactly who we needed for a perfect season and national championship.

Yeah I wouldnt mind 9-4 with losses to Vandy, Arkansas, Troy and Furman....

Agree to disagree. I understand your point and there are some fans that would be okay with going 2-10 if the two wins were UF and Bama. I just feel like wins over those two are so few and far between, that if/when we beat them both in the same season, it should hopefully lead to something special. I don't feel like 9-4 is special.

The loss to Memphis ruined the entire 1997 season.

I don't think anyone would like being 2-10. But it has a lot to do with expectations. GA losing to SC really hurt them because they fell so short of their expectations. For us to beat FL and AL with a young team would be a great building tool even if we managed to lose a couple of close games to teams we were picked to beat by 3. It's all about perspective and expectations. Of course, some people are realistic in their expectations, some are totally unrealistic and expect to win 12 no matter what, and some have no expectations and accept whatever happens.

But there are games you 'should' win. And games you shouldn't win. The toss-up games are what define a season. Can't lose the gimmies and call it a success no matter what.
