  1. Hey, there is a new sheriff in town. He puts the hay in the barn, then gets up even earlier on game day.
  2. It was Pat Dye's first year, we got beat 17-3 but the defense had the better of Nebraska the whole game, offense could not move the ball. Nebraska was a powerhouse. Pat Dye kicked his only returning All SEC player off the team during the first team meeting. It was obvious by the Nebraska game the CPD was going to build something different on the Plains. CBH has a tougher job, more competition, but I think he is going to build the program. Want a team like UGA then do the things that UGA has done to be successful. We need to quit worrying about immediate results and do the things that produce results. Per Coach John Wooden, do things the right way and winning will take care of itself Someone tell me about the pass catching videos, do we only have one machine for pass drills. Looks like the players are standing around 90% of the time?
  3. Saw MW take UAB apart. Our third string 2019 QB is being picked as the the first QB taken in the NFL draft.
  4. We change a defensive system, how long does it take for the players to understand the schemes, not play vanilla and allow them to play downhill. It took Buddy Ryan and the Chicago Bears 6 years to perfect the 46 defense. Moving Hall around looked like progress. Thought hiring CDM was a great choice, I'm going to give him more than a few games before becoming critical. Just want to see progression.
  5. Lets be clear about what we are talking about. How much money were we paying CTT we he hired TF without an interview. Little doc
  6. I don't think we make the two yards if we ran with a vanilla play. CBH said they had planned for this situation. Penn State had also, placed three receivers wide, confused the defense a little and we lost the edge. That was a great call that had been planned for three months.
  7. I was frustrated last night and I do appreciate the insight. Did see a team that showed up to play in a hostile environment and competed with a chance to take home a win. Looked like an early CPD team. Maybe patience will prove to be virtuous.
  8. Thought Bo played like a warrior. CHB needs to erase all the CGM tapes he has stored and watch some modern offenses outflank good defenses on third and short.
  9. Big headache Found the game on SEC+ through Samsung Smart TV but wanted to pick up other games this year and bit on ESPN+. Can drop ESPN+ anytime. Bizarre method for log on. Why am I using a HULU ID to log into ESPN? If I must do this every time I watch ESPN+ I'll start learning chinese, because they will bury us. However, it is better than going to the cable store to rent a box and being told to leave a $100 deposit. Told them my credit rating was more reliable than their cable service. Followed my father's example and watched the game at a sports bar with a nice hamburger and beer. The Auburn Tigers appeared similar to a Pat Dye football team, well trained and fierce. Don't know how many games we will win but every team will know we came to play.
  10. The picture is showtime. Really!
  11. In my experience the NIP occurs in the morning (late August early September) long before it is noticed in the evening. Take the dog outside when the humidity is low, morning temp < 70 and slight movement of wind from the NE and you feel the need a long sleeve shirt. Its football time in the SEC and showtime on the football forum.
  12. NO it is called the scientific method, it is how intelligent people discern truth from ignorant opinions.
  13. You take care of others by everyone (not at risk for allergic reactions) taking the vaccine, reaching herd immunity and eliminating the pandemic.
  14. The chances of getting myocarditis from the Moderna vaccine is is about 100000 x the chance of UT Chattanooga winning against an SEC football team in 100 years. The chance of getting myocarditis if you get Covid 19 is 2%. And the long term consequences of getting Covid 19 are unknown. The internet is great, you have all the information at your disposal. All you have to do is separate fact from fiction/spin and use your brain to reason.
  15. My concern is when we let Texas into the tent they will have an agenda to bring in more high budget/ media friendly schools (FSU Clemson OSU PSU M USC and Oregon) to form a super conference of their design. When they accomplish that step they will orchestrate to push Vandy MSU OM and USCe out and force the SEC to change its name to the something akin to "The Longhorn Network". Look at the history of college football since the SIAC devolved into the Southern Conference which devolved into the SEC which evolved into a super conference that is willing to chunk 100 year old rivalry games. It has always been about the money. When the status quo changes (gate receipts, radio revenue, bowl revenue, TV revenue now NIL revenue) the conferences change with the big eating the small.
  16. The medical residents jacket in 1981 had a red patch that said University of Alabama Hospital. People start calling the hospital UAB and a law was passed in the state legislature that nobody except the legislature could change the name of the University of Alabama School of Medicine. However the medical residents jackets now have a green and gold patch that says UAB. They do not need to break free from the UA system. They just need to break up the good ole boy system that reappoints the board members.
  17. Had a sales rep uat fan in the office that Friday, droned on forever about why the tide should win. I told him that I agreed with everything he said, they were heavy favorites. But that there was one factor that he had not factored into his analysis. Told him they would have to win in front of 87,000 Auburn fans that had heard a lot of trash jokes from trashy people for a long time. Never seen anyone turn as suddenly from ebullient to phlegmatic.
  18. FCS football. Pay a modest donation and park in a VIP 50 feet from the gates, enjoy a meal and a beer in the hospitality room, walk across the hall to my premium seats and watch some quality athletes with a few NFL prospects play fundamentally sound football against a team of college students from Furman or The Citadel. If they are winning everyone is happy, if they are not you talk to your friends and neighbors and plan a nice evening out. Once a year you travel to a SEC stadium and hope that Rocky can make it to the last round and throw a haymaker. We don't want to throw away college football. When ya'll get sick of seeing the same teams with players who just want to go the Lebron route to win an ugly ring your welcome to come watch, on Saturdays in the Fall. Little doc
