I personally think that we have far and away the best head coach and OL coach. They will have the best players playing at each OL position by the first game.

In previous years and previous coaching staffs, we were scrambling just to find 5 players, much less the best. Many years, hoping that a freshman OL could play at the SEC level.

No freshman OL have been mentioned as must be ready by first game that I recollect this year. Arguing over which upper class man is ready for the first game puts us in a whole different category than we were in with the four stooges (kiffin/dooley/butch/pruitt), so I am going to stick with

15-0 🤠
Four Stooges - I like it!

Surprisingly, only one player ever died from an injury received during a game. Ray Chapman. In 1920 he got beaned in the head during a game and died several hours later.
Led to rules changes. Pitchers used to intentionally dirty the balls to make them harder to see. Not after that.
 
Honestly though, out of the not even handful of times they have beaten us have they ever smashed the Vols?? They are so delusional. Huep is Stoops daddy. Fiddy burger for them. I've seen their DBs and not that impressed. Good size but not much speed. WRs will have a field day
They smashed us one time. Another thing to thank Jermy for.

Best ATHLETES don’t necessarily dominate the game of baseball. Ty Cobb, Pete Rose, Lenny Dykstra et al peel them out of one era and slap them into another and they bring it. Lou Gehrig is timeless. No way Christy Mathewson, Whitey Ford or Walter Johnson don’t supersede Justin Verlander nowadays. And Greg Maddux never threatened the number 90 on a radar gun and dominated the modern era. It’s tragic that Satchel Paige, Cool Papa Bell and others didn’t get to compete on the biggest stage (or in their prime in Satchel’s case), but that doesn’t erase the great players not excluded by racism. Athletes have ALWAYS been around. Wilt Chamberlain and Oscar Robertson with today’s training and nutrition would have set unapproachable records. Nothing is absolute.
In 1969 Nolan Ryan put up 9.3 K/9 with a 3.53 ERA

In 1992 Nolan Ryan put up 9.0 K/9 with a 3.72 ERA

Apparently he didn’t get the memo that at that point he had been outclassed by bigger, better athletes 😖
