Leak the Vols opponents daggummit. Everyone else thinking we drop Missouri in 2024 for one of OU or Texas and possibly pick up Auburn? UF, Vandy, Bama, SC, UK, UGA remains.

Trying to whitewash history. This is false. Everyone knows Huggy Bear predates Mr. Furley.

Do we know the exact date Fly Guy was in the game?

Florida trying to bring back the urban Meyer glory years.

In the state of Florida you only need a ski mask for one thing and it isn't skiing. Idiots.

"I couldn't see his face officer. But he's #8 on the Florida football team. I know because his official team ski mask had his number on it."
 
If you love WW1 history...I'm reading "The Guns of August" by Barbara Tuchman....great book that really puts you in the feel of the late 19th-early 20th century period.

The more I study WW1, the more I'm convinced it is the biggest turning point of world history.

Great book. I’d say the revolutions across Europe in 1848 and WWI are maybe 1A/1B.
 


Surprising. Also ammo for AD White. Interested to see this number for 2023

2021-2022

Not a huge surprise. Heupel's first year. Basketball and baseball, etc don't add that much (relative to football), despite success.

Purchasers of gear, etc were on hold post-Pruitt and waiting to see what Heupel did. I'd bet we're top 10 for 2022-2023.
 
Mandel’s mailbag ranking of SEC football:
1) georgia
2) alabama
3) lsu
4) oklahoma
5) texas
6) florida
7) texas a &m
8) auburn
9) Tennessee
10) arkansas

Really?

“Last season was the first reminder in a while of how special Neyland Stadium can be when it’s filled and rocking. I only have it this low because the VOLS don’t have nearly as much backyard talent as others on the list.”

Now, that’s Malarkey.
Whether we agree or disagree, there's no doubt OU and Texas are hurting are relative position, at least historically speaking...or at least filling up our tier.

The Sankey-ism of the SEC just makes things tougher.

Hard to disagree with. At least in modern, western civ.

All goes back to German (ethnically) nationalism and all the crap happening from 1880 up to the actual outbreak. But it spent decades and decades boiling up. Disastrous for everyone else.

That was a great book. I think that's the one that described how Germans didn't breach the walls around Belgium until enough bodies piled up to crawl over them.

My grandfather fought in it. Marched across France he said.
