I guess long gone are the days of Florida or Tennessee being able to just throw money at whoever they want and get that coach.

Super Coach!! Lands all the recruits. Can never be second guessed in a game (particularly clock management late in the first half). Beats all teams by 30+. Hockey stick program win trajectory that ends in a national title by year 4 and unending national titles thereafter.

Can’t believe Florida settling for Napier when Super Coach was right there. Boosters just didn’t pony up enough $$s…

Can't handle crowds and in my case, I explained the gatherings were huge. I didn't know half the people there.
Much less feel like that's how I should be spending the time that I wanted to spend with my mom and siblings. Whom with I didn't end up eating in the same dining area.

All because 1 family member wants everyone she knows/close with, to be the same. But you can't force strangers to be family.
Whoever the people were that I did eat beside, laughed & were glad someone finally said so and broke the ice.
And like your's vs mine, I assume everyone here has their own different family dynamic going on. Idk the details of each but guessing they have their own reasons - which aren't necessarily sad or bad.

Well...that's weird and not what me and Sweets were talking about at all, that sounds more like a Chamber of Commerce mixer than a real family Thanksgiving meal..😳 I can understand why that would suck to be a part of...I also don't think that is Weezy's situation either.

No they don't. They play the WCC after playing the toughest non-conference schedule every single year.

And in the WCC you got BYU and Saint Mary's who play at a high major level every year.

Then think about how they are everyones super bowl every single game. And every team in your conference knows everything about you.The conference really isn't that bad. If anything there's way more margin for error in a conference like that. In a P5 you can lose like 8 games, go 15-14 and make the tournament because you have so many opportunities for marquee wins.

Wouldn't matter if they were in a high major conference theyre still probably winning it because theyre one of the best teams in the nation every single year. Their prestige is not inflated at all. They're just literally incredibly good in a mid major conference.

I really like Gonzaga and think Coach Few is a fantastic coach, but the WCC is a very weak conference, especially compared to the Power 5 conferences.

I watched the Wade twins last night and they are good. They are also two of the biggest, fastest athletes on the field which helps. They would be great additions but not at the positions they have been promised to play at Ky. Linebackers and edge rushers........yes, QB or RB, maybe but I didn't see it last night.

Florida is a buzzsaw for coaches, it just doesn't get the same media attention (or bias) that we constantly have to deal with.

Face it, we deserved everything the Media stated.

We have been pretty Dysfunctional since 2007.

5 ADs, 6 Football Coaches, 4 Men's BB Coaches, 3 Women's BB Coaches, 4 Men's Baseball Coaches
Several NCAA investigations.

Passionate Fan Base
A dysfunctional Athletic Board and Boosters calling the shots.

Although Flordia did have issues they managed to cover it up more than Tennessee and offered more Stability.

Tennessee's Hair and Pants have been on fire for a lot longer than most.

Where are you guys from/shopping? Picked up 3 Blantons last week at $69 a pop. Picked up 2 weller full proofs this week for $90 a pop. EH Taylor has been pretty abundant around here lately. Always listed in the $40s. Full disclaimer I waited outside for about an hour for the weller full proofs but that’s hard to get lately. Stores marking blantons up that high are jerks IMO. It is a fantastic bourbon and a great gift though.

The better question is where are you shopping?!? Hahaha!
Blanton's is great. But once it starts crossing that $70 barrier there's better stuff out there at that price in my opinion.
I'm in Charlotte which is run by the ABC's so when you do find it you get it at retail but you almost never find it.

🦬💩..the media has a hard on for negative Tennessee material and always have. Tennessee giving them that material is irrelevant to that fact.

The one Wade twin appears to be a legitimate LB, but the other wants to be a QB. He won't stay a QB. Stoops promise of "giving him a shot" has no real value. He'll end up at another position.

I agree totally. The one that wants to play QB is big and strong and don't get me wrong, he is good but, I think that he and his brother will either change positions or jump from school to school until they find a place that will let them play where they want on the field. They are both REALLY good athletes.

Whatever...Yes, I agree with the Hard-On. When did it start? Manning and the Heisman, Trailer Trash Statement, Coaching Searches of the Past? Before or after the NC? Keith Jackson? Sugar Bowl 86?

Tennessee Fans are the Best. GA, AL, FL, Auburn are obnoxious, rude in their own right.

Tennessee contributed and added to it, so it is relevant.
