If this happens and our OL can block next year (and to be honest they were very good this season) then we aren’t getting stopped in the running game. 4. Headed. Monster.

Oh.. Four Christmases with Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon.. we laugh our butts off every time lol

I don’t want to speak ill about your mother on Christmas, but…

Definitely agree with your second point about not just taking a body and I don't think this staff would do that. I am sure there are a few DB's in portal but getting them would be the biggest challenge as I am sure they will be in great demand. Would love to get a couple proven DB's and yes depth is a concern. I do remember the walk on that had to play against Bama.

One angle we have at this point is we don't have any proven talent in the secondary...so when we approach a guy like Tony Grimes from North Carolina and say "do you wanna come play for one of the biggest brands in football on the biggest stage and get noticed by the NFL?" we're not lying about any of it. Now will he be given a starting spot without any work, no. But will he have the ability to win a starting spot? absolutely and we can point to our previous 4 transfers in the secondary that all have earned starts.

This has that Bama feel to it. Tn beat Kansas by 14 and behind them in the polls. You cant make this stuff up.

Stoops is cooked now

Brohm will coach circles around stoops, marrow and the others on that staff.

Not at all….. we had a really bad loss against Colorado and so had to make the climb back towards the top…. Kansas was ranked higher and only lost to us…. Keep winning and we will keep rising in the polls.

Somewhere Jimmy Hyams is saying his sources still say he will end up at UT…

Basketball is such a different animal, I'm happy we're 7th and the highest rated SEC team in the country right now.

Kansas is the defending champ and has a win over Duke this season already so them starting 3rd has more to do with them still being ahead of us than anything. Our loss to Colorado pushed us back so we had to make up too much ground. If we beat Arizona and Maryland we'll be the highest ranked 1 loss team, might even sneak into the top 5 if any of the undefeated teams get beat. (which Houston and Virginia are about to play so one of them will go down).

and Dwight Yoakum as Pastor Cal it’s so funny to me . Edit: Pastor Phil (watched it last night) lol

Lmao....you're right. That should have never been typed out. I fixed it.

Bowl practices will be fun this year. Having all but two of the EEs in will give an early look at how the pieces might fit together next year. Too bad we can't play some of them in the Orange Bowl.

OK, and where is the recently injured Hendon Hooker in all of this? Will the Tennessee QB's stock drop?
McShay: I still see Hooker as the QB4 in the class. The 6-foot-4 senior suffered a torn ACL in his left knee in November, and while the injury will certainly impact his draft stock, I don't think we will see a severe drop. Hooker was a Day 2 prospect for me even before the injury, and I still think that's when he will get drafted -- just a little bit later on Friday night than previously thought. Hooker reads the field really well, has a nice smooth delivery and knows how to layer the ball to receivers to set up yards after the catch. He only threw two interceptions this year while piling up 3,135 yards and 27 TD passes.

They have Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, and... Levis ahead of him.

At this point, I’m convinced Levis could announce that he’s joining a Buddhist monastery in Tibet, and someone would still project him late Day 2.

With the ACL tear him being a top 5 QB is pretty awesome. I actually want Hooker to go to a good team, so let the Lions, Texans, Browns or other shitholes snag up Bryce, Stroud and Levis....Hooker falling to a better overall team and not being thrown to the wolves will give him the better chance to remain in the league and become a starter for a playoff contender.

I went to that Orange Bowl as a teenager. I don't think I ever knew about the Fulmer conspiracy with the coaches poll.

 

[VolNash17]

That’s a pretty good hire for Louisville. An upgrade really. Brohm upgraded Purdue’s recruiting and results the last few seasons and at Louisville there’s even more potential with a bigger stadium, more revenue and fan support

 

[LA Vol]

Complaining about tampering feels pointless at this point. I 100% believe all teams are doing it in some form or another, even us. It’s the new normal for now.

Workarounds. Everybody uses them-- some better than others.

No way he would fall that far.
