This "Gimmick" Offense

Honest question from someone who never played the game: Every year, every fan board, it's the same chirping - "Tennessee/Heupel runs a "gimmick" offense that is easy to figure out" If it's so gimmicky and easy to figure out, why have Josh Heupel's offenses been ranked nationally in the top10...

They’re destroying my total points prediction! (400)

And I don’t mind a bit.

College football Week 2 overreactions: Oklahoma unprepared for SEC, Tennessee's defense steals spotlight

Huge upsets and near pitfalls meant Week 2 gave the 2024 college football season some early excitement

Oklahoma is not SEC ready​

Turns out replacing your entire offensive line in one offseason isn't a recipe for success. The Sooners couldn't block, couldn't run the ball and couldn't sustain drives against a Houston team that entered Saturday's contest as a 27.5-point underdog.....

I am glad you pointed out that the pickems were posted. That was very kind of you to do that.

“Pick seis! Pick seis! Pick seis!”

We may have finally found the heir to John Ward.

I wish I was fluent in Spanish. I'd rather listen to him and Fuad calling the games. Eventhough I can't understand fully what they are saying, their exuberance is contagious.

So, if you’re jonesing for CFB Thursday night, which would you rather watch?
Northwestern State at South Alabama, or Arizona State at Texas State?
Well, ESPN thinks more of you want to see NWS at SA.

It will never happen but I wish lower tier fcs/g5/hbcu games between good programs would be televised thur/fri night and/or Saturday mornings.

Your breakfast football game has an appeal, but I don’t see Fox or CBS going up against Game Day.

The Thursday/Friday night games featuring top competitive matchups of lower division and G5 teams is an idea that could gain traction. MACtion did increase public awareness of MAC and its teams.

I'm telling you what, Josh Heupel, he's got something special going on there in Rocky Top, so cheers to Tennessee and the Vol army who got a big win last night against NC State in Charlotte."

NCAA.com had those flipped.

BTW, if you are so hard set on my not engaging you, by your own account, repeatedly asking me to put you on ignore, why can you not refrain from engaging me?

You’re not just a swinging Richard, you’re dripping with disease. I would pity you if you hadn’t extended so much effort relieving me of any care.

You want to let bygones be bygones? You want to interact with me like any other on VN? I’ll read your mia culpa. I’ll witness your epiphany. If you’re earnest, I’ll give you the benefit of my good will.
