Gaiz, you could like totally absolutely tell by just looking at them.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.

Are these people not using ther got dern eyeballs. I mean imma sayin!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.
I think Heupel does a good job on keeping the focus where it should be during fall camp. He's always upbeat but doesn't overhype. Closes a lot of practices. Gets down to business.Camp intel is not always a great indicator of season success. Case in point: camp reports from Summer ā98 were apocalyptic; camp reports from 2005 were ānatty potential.ā
Born and raised in Memphis. Still live in Shelby Co but in the eastern suburbs, away from most of the crime. Although crime is slowly creeping into areas that it used to never be.
I used to have a lot of pride for Memphis, but the cons of the city are overshadowing its redeeming qualities now. Poor infrastructure, crime, leadership, and the judicial system are all major issues. I thought that when I got married a few years ago and bought a home that this is where I wanted to be. Now, Iām looking for the next opportunity to get out. Depending on where my career takes me, I have a preference to become a Knoxville metro resident. Being near UT isnāt a bad perk either.
