To be fair, Pruitt said it all and 10x harder. Talk is cheap either way. Everybody wants to win and win asap. Most won't though in a zero sum game.

I do agree he's setting lowered expectations and for a reason. It's scare me as a UF fan...if I could be any more worried with that goober looking guy...

Pruitt gave a halftime interview where he said he needed to bring in new players. Totally different message. Heupel has never complained about personnel or the program and said his job is to win quickly. Every coach “may” want to win quickly, but we’ve had some coaches express the opposite message.

Yeah that was the first big red flag to me. Was shameful to just throw your team under the bus...and at halftime at that.

Well besides being a Bammer and speaking about as well as a 4th grader.

These are nothing new.... The first recorded foundling wheels appear in 12th century Italy (at least the first recorded ones in the West). They were set up so you could drop the baby off and be completely anonymous - a wheel was used to bring the baby inside so the operators didn't see who was dropping them off. Of course, some Italian women being pretty wise to what it meant to be a poor woman during that era would drop their baby off and then have themselves hired by the place they dropped it off to as a wet nurse. They were basically being paid to feed their own child. But the options for employment for women in that era were basically to work as servant (if you were very lucky because at that time wealthy families tended to take only one house servant and usually they were about 10-12 years old with employment not lasting too long) or become a courtesan (prostitute).

Prostitution became so prevalent because of the limited income options that at one point courtesans were required to dress a certain way so that they wouldn't be mistaken for respectable company. With abortion restrictions foundling boxes will likely become more common. At least, I hope they will - it's far better than someone abandoning a baby in a random place.

Just saw that AL is at #16 in recruiting on 247 and about 7th in the SEC. Is Saban coming to the end of his reign? Players beginning to have doubts? Did TN start his downfall?

Just say yes!

Saban has already told Sankey, "Get me the special refs at home this year, and then get me out of the third Saturday in October, whatever you have to do to do it! Or you're fahred, aight? I don't care if you have to re-do the entire conference schedule."

"Also," Sabey said, "tell the 'AA we games shortened, Sankey. (I'm blaming it on that).

"And you need to get off your a-- and make Tennessee forfeit wins if they celebrate! That might be my best chance of not losing going forward."
