Seems like Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, and Texas A&M are the Super Bowl for South Carolina, but the other programs certainly don’t reciprocate that feeling

Problem is, the talent disparity at Kentucky is significantly lower compared to the top end competition in this conference. Distance between Kentucky and Bama/UGA/LSU/Tenn is much wider than NC State and Clemson/FSU

Why do we respect the opinion of a guy who was balls to the wall crazy over Clausen?

Georgia may win, but dominate? I don’t think so

Would be pretty interesting to see a corpse ride a bike.

Hard to say that the NFL, as a whole, evaluates QBs well.

Gimmicks are usually easy to stop. This doesn’t look like a gimmick.

They already adopted the checkerboard pattern, so pretty soon I'd say.

Tennessee is 82–26–9 against Kentucky. I would simmer down on that criticism, kitty cat.

Saying that with a K badge next to your name is quite ironic.

That’s what the playoff format has done to the sport. If you’re not one of the four competing for a championship, there’s zero benefit to participating as an athlete. Hard to fault him. Best case scenario, Tennessee gets an extra win (which, let’s be honest, y’all are more excited about the extra practices for your rebuild then you are the prospect of playing against some middle of the road ACC or Big 10 team). There is very little he can do to improve his draft stock at this point. However, there is a lot he can do to kill it such as a poor performance or, God forbid, an injury. If you’re not in the playoffs, there’s no upside and everything to lose by playing in a bowl game if you have NFL potential.

So Kentucky lost to a mediocre Tennessee team when they had triple the time of possession? What does that say about Mark Stoops’ ceiling?

After two decades of national relevance, it wouldn’t surprise me to see them pull a Tennessee and go irrelevant for a decade or so.

If you ignore the wide splits, the option routes that Tennessee appears to run in the seams, and the preference for bombs down the sideline….. yeah. Just like a two minute NFL offense.

Parcells used to say that the nfl is a result of what college gives them with respect to scheme and players. RPOs are more frequent in the NFL thanks to college. Wouldn’t be surprised to see offenses like Tennessee’s become common as well.

They would have beaten Pitt and possibly could have beaten Florida and/or Ole Miss as well. At that point, you’re looking at losses to Bama and UGA and toss ups in their other two SEC matchups. That’s a potential three game swing. Give them some credit.

To be honest, most people don’t listen when you talk.

Bailey is hot garbage.

Bailey would be terrible in this offense and you know it, gwhite. He’s slow.

Bailey isn’t going to start. He’s not good enough.

Your five star QB wasn’t good enough to earn the starting job on a 3-7 team. Getting transfers was your best option for a quick turnaround.

This is the kind of player Tennessee should be recruiting more of: good three stars. Develop them and prove to four and five star talent that you aren’t a talent graveyard.

As an impartial observer, this sounds more like a UK pipe dream than reality. The ceiling at UT is higher than it ever will be at Kentucky.

Truth right here. I’ll say this though: the quickest way to relevance is a great offense. Think about the last 15 years with Oregon and Baylor. Those two programs had unstoppable offenses under Chip Kelly and Art Briles. Ole Miss has something in Kiffin. Time will tell for Tennessee.

100% ok in my book. Don’t want to get shown up? Just pitch and play better.

The only team that has a realistic shot of doing this is Tennessee. They're the only other program in the East with the ceiling of Florida and Georgia. Kentucky lacks fan support for football, Missouri and South Carolina both lack the resources and the boosters to compete. Vanderbilt.... well, they're Vanderbilt. Tennessee has the ability to get back there someday, but probably not for another 5-6 years.

As long as the NFL draft has been around, You can argue that some people make it more about themselves than they do the team. This isn’t the start. This is a logical step in this long sequence of events

Bro, Hooker is your best option. Tennessee’s quarterback play was awful last year. You might as well go with the only quarterback with experience who wasn’t part of that mess

Based off how y’all did last year, no QB on your roster can throw so you might as well roll with the one on your roster that can run.

Well at least he's consistent, unlike his Bulldogs.
