That would be the finest bit of irony ever.

Enki very well may be right. Idek if I'd call it irony but definitely poetic. That game went back and forth so much. Bama coming so close at the end with Beasley getting into Young's face to disrupt the throw, missing the field goal. Nearly breaking up the pass to Bru. Then tipping and nearly stopping the game-winning field goal.

For once in my life Tennessee just being a step ahead at the most opportune times to win the big game. And in one of the most incredible games of this century, even the losing team was another half inch of finger (control yourself) away from sending it to overtime... instead sent it on course through the uprights. Just another small detail making that game Top 5. One of the biggest rivalries in sports, 10+ Touchdowns, field goals, missed field goals, 2pt conversions, turnovers... everything.

Here is part of it…… more recruiting staff than anyone else and they have everything they are doing down to the minuscule details…. I don’t know much beyond that but just how innovative the approach is…. It sure seems to work.

140 staff members? How many do we have? That's 1.2 staff per player

Beasley NOT sacking Young on that play may well have won the game for us too, in a roundabout sort of way.

Had he gotten to Young, it knocks Bama out of FG range (or at least puts them into kick-six range, about a 57-yarder), so Saban punts. Then we are driving from deep in our own territory instead of the 32-yard-line. May not have had enough time to get into FG range. Could have still won in OT, of course, but the team had mojo getting the ball back with a chance to win in regulation.

You serious? A water tank? . . whether serious or not, always wanted to try one of them. They say it's pretty wild.

I bet you could make a fortune if you opened a place with 3-4 of them. . . like tanning bed salons, 😂. . . then again. I also read they're pretty expensive to buy, operate, and maintain.

Deion ain't wrong though. I wouldn't have taken the cutting of players as far as he did but he had to see a drastic turnover in talent to have a chance. Plus Venables walked into a premier program and took them to a 6-7 record. My guess is that Colorado is pretty close to that this year.

Eh, Oklahoma was certainly better than what DS stepped into at Colorado, but you're ignoring that Riley took several key players with him to USC.

I reject your level headed and thoughtful post. If we don't sign every single 4 and 5 star that we target it is clearly evidence that this staff can't recruit and certainly cannot close. Also, the SCar and UGA games last year are clear evidence that they also cannot coach, so we will be fahring up the coaching search machine mid-September at the latest.

I'm glad somebody said it. This abundance of positivity is starting to grate on my nerves. I rather enjoy my BVS.

I am serious. Been wanting to do it for awhile. Asheville has one, Chattanooga has one, Knoxville does not. So I am getting a 90 minute session in Asheville for my birthday. Excited to see where the mind goes.
