We need recruits willing to buy into this program, who recognize that though we may be down right now, the potential for greatness is still there. Tennessee has so many positives that a good coach, the right coach, hopefully Josh Heupel, should be able to return it to prominence. We have the facilities. We have the fanbase. We have the program history and we play in the premier conference. Up until recently, we were handicapped by an idiot administration. IF that's fixed, then the right guy should be able to turn this program around. My biggest concern with Heupel ATM, can he sell all of this to recruits?

If I were a elite talented HS QB, WR or RB...I would be begging to play for him.


I would be seeing all those guys running wide ass open down the field and think.."If I was there I could win the Heisman"

Not just that. I think Banks may turn out to be a pretty good DC with the staff we have. The defense has done a better job than I thought they could with the personnel we have. Hopefully some of these kids on defense can see where they would fit in as well at UT.

Back. It's been a mess ever since I broke it after my transplant. Just can't seem to get relief.

I have three extremely herniated discs in my neck, and three extremely herniated discs in the lumbar, also have stenosis and spurring...so I understand.

I do have a really high tolerance for pain...thank God for that.

I know today's game is expected to be a blowout, but I'm looking forward to seeing some of the back up players get some time. This game is in no way a true reflection of how they'd do against tougher opponents, but it'll at least allow us to see some of their potential.

I tolerate the pain, I don't have much choice since the only pain med I can take on a regular basis is Tylenol, which rarely works for anything but headaches. But it interrupts my sleep a lot. I also have herniated discs, stenosis, and all that. I have a spot in my lower back, when it really flares, the pain wraps around through the groin area and down the leg.

Moments away from beating a meaningful top opponent on the west coast, Luke Jackson live tweeting in B9 while home with new a baby. And Will Smith proceeds to blow the save. Bruh.

It’s baffling to me still why the Braves think Will Smith is a closer. He alone will cost the Braves the east. How many blown saves does he have? It has to be double digits. He’s a set up man at best.

A one run lead is never safe when you put Will Smith it. It is 50/50 at best that he'll pull out the save. More likely than not, he'll give up a homerun on a hanging breaking ball within his first 7 pitches.

Iowa...haven't paid attention to them recently, but that stability is really paying off. Won 21 of their last 26 games and their worst loss was by only 7 points. And they were just 7 points away from going 8-0 last season. Have begun this season with back to back ranked wins...nice developmental program. Likely hit their ceiling, but it just shows the payoff potential when you invest and let it grow.

Kirk Ferentz is like the Rick Barnes of college football. His teams are always good, sometimes great (but never the best), and he almost never has a flat out bad season. Very high floor coaches that I don’t ever expect to win a national championship.

The defense forced an early throw, the receiver was not expecting it right out of his break across the middle. It was thrown into an area with three defenders. The QB rushed the throw. That was on the QB.

That is some mental gymnastics. The ball hit the WR in the hands. Perfect throw? Absolutely not. QB fault it was intercepted? Absolutely not. WR is biggest blame.

He said it twice! The play right before when UCF DL picked it off.

Bob has always had cutting edge material.

Nowadays he's nothing short of a tour de force trendsetter. Make way, folks, for a generation of monotonous visual descriptor transcribers blurting out at a comfortable 30 decibels "what a turn of events..."

For real! How many homeruns has he given up this year? I don’t know how many times he has pitched with a 2 run lead and seems to always give up a home run to make it too interesting. Why in the world they did not make a move before the trade deadline to try and get a better closer is beyond me!
