It's so refreshing to not have to sit here and think "well, we might be competitive in 2-3 more years if Heupel is truly the guy. He's gotta get his players first and we've gotta cycle out ALL of Pruitt's players."

Since Kiffin, we've had ridiculous discussions like that in these threads. And then Heupel comes in and just starts winning with the guys he's got.

What Heupel is doing is not normal....it is dang near miraculous. Those are legitimate thoughts.

Yes indeed.

"Year 2" means something completely different than it used to around here.

Realistically, how much better can the offense get? Hooker has been phenomenal and only a handful of things he could improve on. Our production has been incredible. The O-line has been dominant. Receivers are elite. RB is the only weak spot.

I’m not sure but this could be the best producing offense we see in the next 5-6 years. It’s been so incredible to watch.

We are in great shape if RB is the weak spot. It's not getting talked about much, but they did a great job against Bama, really, against everyone.

Those convos were most prevalent during the Butch era and we were bought in with the year zero and Team 117 BS. So glad it’s a distant memory

The conference hates teams storming the field. I'm sure Sankey will use the Burton incident to further chastise UT for "failure to implement procedures to ensure compliance with SEC policy." Sankey has the power to enforce stricter penalties for violations. It wouldn't be surprising to see him put school admins on notice that he will do so, especially since the fines are relatively inconsequential to SEC schools.

It really is dangerous, but it really looked cool. It doesn’t matter now. We have reestablished ourself now, no reason to storm the field.

No way to really stop it. It is also a very rare thing....NOTHING outside of shooting people was stopping that from happening Saturday....NOTHING.

I can confirm this. The energy in that stadium could be cut with a knife and served on a platter. Any security that tried to stop it would have gotten trampled and they knew it.

Did the floods affect your property like damaging your home, etc??

No...I actually live on a ridgeline instead of down in the river bottom...plus Harlan didn’t get the flooding this time, but we did get really bad flooding here back in 18...Thanks for asking.

Good..Glad that you were in a safe spot.

[Glitch]

Ok little Nicky sorry. Oh go sit in the corner

I think it’s cool, but would be really hard to pull off imo..

We already pulled off the checkerboard stadium. You think wearing a black shirt is more difficult than wearing a white shirt?

 

[Glitch]

I think it’s cool, but would be really hard to pull off imo..

UT would likely have to provide the black shirts for people in those sections.

I 100% agree that Heupel is a better human being and I love the way he represents our program. In my opinion, he is the next big time SEC coach.

Saban recruited exactly the way everyone else did. Cheat your ass off, land studs, etc. I don't want to admit that he has been the greatest coach of the recent era but he is. It's amazes me how he can continue a dynasty year after year while losing his entire staff most years. I agree the man is a prick, but the players love the guy for some reason.

I wasn't calling you out specifically. I hear this in multiple circles. The fact of the matter is that half of their job is to land elite recruits to win with and build a winning culture with them. And yes, Kirby smart is a damn good coach. He's not the best, but any coach that wins a title is a damn good coach, period.

You missed my point...the Bama "system" is the reason he got all those recruits, not because he is so great..just like Kirby is the beneficiary of now at UGA.

Saban is no better football coach than Kirby.

Wait. . . you mean there is more stuff on the internet besides VolNation?

There are gifs, but that is it.

 

[VolGee4]

What a douche! This guy questions Herbstreit’s objectivity when he ranks UT #2 in the nation because he lives in Franklin, TN (yet his sons play at Clemson). Meanwhile, he’s actively arguing that Georgia might have the most impressive resume in college football (which is an absolute joke right now) and should be ranked #1 while he has Georgia memorabilia on the shelf behind him, he’s actively selling a Georgia book, and he’s offering his listeners a discount code for Doordash with “DAWGS” prominently included in the discount code.

Pretty sure Herbstreit now lives in Cincinnati, and he picked our opponent to win the last 3 games. Typical biased fan doing a podcast or video.

 

[engineerVOL]

Lol

 

[UTSuave’]

Top recruits taking notice of 6-0 start, what Tennessee is building under Josh Hepuel

 

[SugarCC]

this is what it would look like

Much cooler if it's an all black out, to match Dark Mode.

Not the gif, but:

Pure Gold !!!

 

[VolInDayton]

Does anyone think that Nashville might get an SEC championship game or a bigger bowl game when the new Titans get their new stadium

 

[Z06VolinWV]

Good afternoon VolNation! Just got back from my 2 week elk hunt in Colorado. Have I missed anything?

Tag out?

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Have you seen the movie?

Yes. What does that have to do with him stating what his favorite line is? Favorite line or not, you (people in general) are an absolute idiot if you post that on social media. 99% of the people who read it are gonna peg you as a racist idiot, or at the very least, an absolute idiot. If you give off the perception, people are gonna question anyone associated with you.

I'll admit Saban is the GOAT (in modern football) in my opinion. That's why Saturday was so great. It cracks me up when people argue "it's cause he's got all dem cruits!" No **** shirlock, recruiting is half their job.

I got home last night and put YouTube on the big screen. Wife says "Are you going to watch this again tonight". I said, "Well, yeah". She said "well I'm going to bed." I said "Good Night, Sleep well."

I had it on at 7am today. I may have a problem.
