not kidding.

Oklahoma has a roster on par with us, yet they are a consensus playoff pick because they are in the Big 12. I'm telling you guys... Them joining the SEC is worse for them than it is bad for anyone in the SEC.

Our roster is closer to South Carolina than Oklahoma

Bass had focused mostly on the positives, so I noted I thought his positives offset by the negatives I listed 6-6 feels about right (i.e. about the same as last year). I do agree with a lot of his positives and a lot of yours I'm just not as sold on some of the new players (and last year's backups) until they prove something to me (Small, Milton, Evans, etc..) and they can't prove anything to me until the games start.

We don't have a proven QB on the roster, so saying they'll be 100x better depends on coaching and/or their development. I hope QB is an upgrade (if it's not it will be a long season) but it's not guaranteed. I feel the same way about the RB room. There are pieces on campus to replace and even upgrade off of what we lost but pulling all that together and substantially improving over last year will require better coaching than we've seen in a long time around here.

If this team wins 8 or 9 games I'll be very impressed with the coaching staff.

QB will be better, if we have to cycle through all 3.

A lot of people are going to be shocked by Tiyon Evans.

There is a major problem going on with American. I've flown them hundreds of times, but this past year has been a nightmare. One of the gate agents told me the aircraft maintenance union isn't getting what they want, so they're flagging almost every plane as broken, even the perfectly good ones, which is forcing American to have huge delays and use older, actually awful planes like the one you flew in. They delayed something like 300 flights in one weekend. My wife got stuck in Dallas for days a few months ago.

They need to get their act together for sure.

Heck freaking yes!!!

LOL that was a typo

“We would need another 3 hour show to discuss all the players transferring out of TN.” I really think this is why no one thinks we can win more than 5-6. The thing is no one outside of us looks to see who did we really lose. It’s time to flip the script. Have to prove it on the field to stop being the punching bag of the media.

12 of those we lost were super seniors. Meaning they wouldn't have been here anyway. Around 10 others were walk ons. Still several more transferred because they were not going to play here. 2 were kickers. We lost 5-6 key contributors and we brought in 10 transfers of our own.

 

[beneVOLence]

He used to post here too! Well, not really...

Who post here? Chad or Ty? Well I’m probably an idiot either way. Chad was a great player for us and Green Bay winning championships at both, so you probably need to ignore my evaluation.

I don’t see any fan claiming we should beat a team like Oklahoma. We should compete with and beat teams like South Carolina IMO.

 

[Batman1948]

College Football is here!

Who do you all have between Nebraska and Illinois? Also, Hawaii and UCLA today!

Iowa is between Nebraska and Illinois and there's nuthin' between Hawaii and UCLA but water. If you're asking about who may win those games, I don't know

Yeah I think South Carolina and Pitt are both true coin flip games. I'm still hoping to go to the Carolina game

I must have missed the fact we are wanting to start a former GA at QB

There's football on today

Yea... no

Be nice if that translates directly to the field. I’d take 3rd in the East and 7th in the SEC for year one under Huepel.

 

[Bantha fodder]

lived in asheville for two years and never once rode those. wish i had

It’s not going anywhere! Do yourself a favor and get some rides in over that way. And then hit some breweries afterwards, of course.

Reece on college game day just took a shot at UT. Shots fired.

Kirk said UNC getting help from Tennessee Ty Chandler and then Reece said we would need a 3 hour show to talk about all the transfers from Tennessee. And everyone laughed.

Only one thing to do…

9-3 record he would probably be COY

South Carolina isn’t a coin flip game. They have like 4 good players and are about to start a GA at QB

 

[MrVolton]

100%. I’d be tickled with 7 or 8, and that could be enough for 3rd in East and 7th overall.

Just a heads up…. We need Ida to do a 180 and go the opposite direction if we want some football on the 2nd….

 

[SoilVol]

I’m always so paranoid about this exact situation happening to me.

Hopefully your boss is humble enough to understand that it’s natural for employees to sometimes talk sh!t about their boss and he/she just laughs it off.

I've been given a mountain of work to complete by next Friday. Doable, but my life will be hell and I have to work tomorrow.

Ok I'll bite. How does a hurricane hitting Louisiana affect east Tennessee on Thursday?

Naw it’ll be gone by Wednesday night. Thursday night will feel like a glorious fall evening. Perfect football weather.

I knew the breweries all too well.

What do you recommend (shake wise) for intermittent fasting? I’d like to try it by skipping breakfast, shake(s) for lunch and then eat dinner as normal.
