Every damned year we hear this and then every damned year it turns out to be Fool's Gold. It might actually be true one year, but I ain't holding my breath.

Sorry for getting us off topic but thanks for explaining the GPA. A 5 or a 6, never heard that before, really changes how the GPA works. I wonder that schools that are smaller that don't offer all the AP classes are at a disadvantage.

No, that's why UT weights them

If a "Bozo button" is back to back national championships, with a combined record of 25-0, with combined scores of 1,097 points scored and 336 points given up, I'm sure they'll gladly wear the red nose and honk for you.

Also, if you think those back-in-the-day Miami teams, or those back-in-the-day Oklahoma teams, or those FSU teams weren't on the tip of a needle, well...i'll just say, I disagree.

Nobody...nobody...was doing steroids to the level that Nebraska was. It was the CFB equivalent of what Barry Bonds did on a team wide scale.

Jeez...all you have to do is really LOOK at them. They were no more talented than 10 other programs going at the time, it was nothing like the talent gap Alabama and a few others have enjoyed between them and literally everyone else, and they weren't running some new genius offense that nobody could figure out....they literally just bulldozed everyone at the LOS.

Why is it so hard to see what was going on? I'm not the only one tbat believes this, it's not like a million others have not said this for the last 20 years...and I believe that is the #1 reason why those teams don't get the respect that the numbers they put up should have given them.

They would have been really good-great without them...they were insanely, unbelievably, unstoppable with them....just like Barry Bonds.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Who didn't see it? Multiple people, including me, have rightly agreed with you about Nebraska and steroids. What's obvious, is that YOU didn't see it going on at other places.

If other teams with even more natural talent and also good staffs were also doing it at the program-wide industrial level that Nebraska was..then they would not have been bulldozing EVERYONE they played.

That doesn't make sense.

What is the max size TV I can fit above a 53” wide exterior fireplace?

for a 53" wide horizontal space, a 60.8" diagonal would fit barely. That is to the outside of the tv box though, so it depends on the bezels of the tv. If the bezels are super thin, a 60" tv will fit. If not, you'll have to go down to 55"

Here are some dims of a mid-range 60" tv.

Not a baby. Adult, fully grown ringneck (Diadophis punctatus). They eat small insects, worms, slugs, small salamanders and other small snakes.

So, it's a punk tater?

 

[drvenner]

Hmm a Jon Snow series

Hope they put the ginger dude in it, funny as ****

You know nothing!

 

[drvenner]

I’m calling it now. Carlos will be the next Voice of the Vols. Think of it. The originality will be off the charts. “Vamos Vols” will be the next generation’s “give him six.” You can’t recreate John Ward so why not go with originality? He has it in spades.

My wife taught with him at Northview Academy. She says he's a really good dude.

 

[KB5252]

This is absurd.

How so?

I remember those Husker teams...... And there's no doubt steroids were a wholesale institution in that staff/ facility.

 

[drvenner]

That's what you get for flying so close to the pun.

I am Apalloed at this poor attempt at humor.

 

[JCVol00]

Sec teams likely to finish with a top 10 class 2024
Georgia
Alabama
Florida
Tennessee
A&M
Auburn
Texas. Murders row conference

No chance Florida, A&M, Auburn and Texas stay in the top 10, or at least finish ahead of us

Anyone know a good place to watch the game next Saturday in Jakarta, Indonesia? Asking for a friend…..

Home . That's all I got to say.

 

[LaagerVol]

Jeez. What part of town did you live in?

This was all 24 plus years ago. Truck broken into and truck stolen in Antioch. Car stolen and cars broken into were downtown close to titans stadium before it was built.

Nobody was doing roids to the industrial institutional level that the Cornroiders were...it was obvious just looking at them. They were no more talented than 10 other teams at any given time...they just juiced them all into superstars.

If you wanna give them a Bozo button for figuring out that you could take multiple walk-ons, add Steroids and POOF turn them into All-Americans...then that's your choice.

I think they were a well coached team that steroids made infinitely better....without them they were still a very good team imo, but not the bulldozer that their institutional steroid program MADE them.

Sure every team had guys on the juice...but NO other program institutionalized it's use in their S&C program like Nebraska did.

So your saying they had a superior S&C program than everybody else!

 

[Volnut]

Is this true?
Agree with Aggy if so!

When I was 16 working my first retail job, I tried to shake a dude's hand who was not trying to shake my hand. He was just gesturing a bit while I was talking to him, and I thought he wanted to shake hands, so I went for it (I was already nervous interacting with the public anyway).

I'll never forget the mixture of horror, disgust, and secondhand embarrassment on his face.

Sounds like me trying to angle for sugar from the mrs.

 

[Weezer]

So. Very beneficial.

I don't believe in beneficial snakes. They're all the devil.

 

[KPT_VFL]

Joe Milton has that dog in him. I believe he has put it all together. Could have gotten mad and quit or transferred but stayed and put in work. Leader! Going to have a big year! GBO!

 

[Adam Sandler]

So Spanglish????

That’s about the extent of my Spanish and I imagine the majority of fans are in the same category or less haha

When it comes to the greatest team ever, I'm always taking the 98 Vols! Never seen a team that was as destined to win it all as them. I don't care what team in history would be on the other sideline. That 98 team, and that defense especially, would find a way to win every single time even without the biggest weapon on offense.

If not for that damn Rose Bowl, my vote would be for the 1939 Tennessee Volunteers coached by General Robert Neyland. Not a single score allowed during the regular season.

Now, I was not alive for that season myself, but @VolsDoc81TX and @InVOLuntary have both told me how spectacular it was before we blew it in the Rose Bowl.

I've got my game thread ready to go. You give me the nod and I will post that bad boy.
