14-13 vs UCF at the end of the 3rd qtr....nuff said.

You could also define "speed bumps" as those mysterious injuries that seem to crop up on opposing SEC teams after TN crosses midfield on offense...

Can't do that...any additional revenue from increased game ticket prices will be needed to pay for bail and fines for the 25 players who've been arrested for traffic offenses....

Uh....what's your point caller? Of course it's for the gamblers! The question to be asked if the SEC did this with prompting from TV networks. Methinks the answer to THAT question in "No"....

Item 1: "We" is one SDS writer with questionable judgement. Item 2: You are correct-let's reconvene in one year and revisit the Nico/Heisman question. Item 3: Please VolNation...calm down and stop feeding this sort of nonsense...or we will be facing another ESPN campaign to rob a QB of his rightly deserved Heisman.

Exactly. Gator fans: Pay close attention to your university administration as this year goes by. The walk through the CF "valley of death" can be long and mis-steps by university AND athletic administrators can extend that walk. And who knows how NIL and federal courts forcing institutions to pay players will affect the sport. Finding the best fit at coach is the ONE variable that universities in this era can control. Hiring the wrong one can put you on the long road back to relevance.

Gawd...its nice to have a rent free location to call home...in your head....

Uh…yeah…that’s why you were the first to comment on another team’s thread…because it was so unimportant….

I understand that Ruggs is looking for Bama fans to visit him in his Nevada prison cell…you want to go?

And the best part: he isn't doing any of the this for the kittens...LOL!

So...a redshirt freshman (who cares how many stars) decides to transfer to a community college...and this rates a SDS "article". With all due respect SDS "writers" and "readers" need to update their calendars and get off the "clickbait" train. Unlimited transfers, NIL, round-the-year recruiting, etc., has resulted in college athletics "free-agency" whether it's for dollars, grades, girlfriends, or a change in scenery.

What surprises me is the only person with any real gonads in this league right now is a female. The rest of you all ought to quit hiding behind her skirt.

AFan...speaking of coaches making bad decisions...would you define as a "bad decision" the Tide head baseball coach who tried to bet on his own team. Huh? Would that be classified a "poor game plan"? A 15 year show cause ruling against him won't "Go Away Quietly" either.

As with most things...this chain included...there is a little bit of truth to what everyone is saying. Bama will lose more games than usual. But Bama is still Bama and will always win more than they lose. Bama fans have been spoiled by success. Nicky told them so many times...they just didn't want to listen. But lastly...and what should concern Bamers more than anything is "change is coming and is planning on staying". Whether the new coach will attract the same number of 5*'s with NFL aspirations is yet to be determined. But any Tide fan who thinks the next 17 years will resemble the past 17 years is delusional.

Stop "clutching your pearls" Bama fans and welcome to the NIL and portal era where loyalty is a joke. What you are discovering is that 5* kids aren't going to Bama because it's Bama...they were going because of Saban. Did you actually think the statistic about the number of players Bama sent to the NFL was because of your dear ole alma mater? Grow up...they went to Bama because they wanted 7 figure paydays at the next level and Saban was their best bet to make it happen.

Good, bad or indifferent, Bama and Saban have lived rent free in most of their oponents heads for years. Without a doubt Bama forced SEC teams that REALLY wanted to compete in FB to adapt or risk being run off the field. It's complete conjecture about "who" or "if" any ONE team will benefit. With only 2 or 3 years of real NIL and portal experience behind us...I suspect that it will be a decade before the verdict is in on that.

Grow up SEC competitors. The man is and always will be a legend for what he achieved at Bama. To deny or argue about that means you simply are delusional.

Puleeze TN fans, lets not continue to show our collective rear ends. I can't stand Bama, but to deny their success with Nicky (and before Nicky) is borderline delusional.

If anyone watching thought for one minute that Milroe wasn't going to be the FOCUS of that play...well...you know the rest. Let the Bammers decide if that is on the HC, OC, or someone else. Sports radio call in shows down there now have a year full of programming....

Amen brother...you speak the truth. Loyalty is nothing more than a word to the NIL/Portal generation. We all know D1 college football is a big business, in fact WE are partly what has made it big business. Perhaps its time for fans to admit to themselves what they suspected for several years: these 18-22 year old kids are exactly THAT...kids.

TN fans shouldn't argue much with this observation. All D-1 universities have great traditions and marvelous fan bases...too many to list here. Every fan thinks their school has "the best tradition"...otherwise they wouldn't be "fanatics". If TN fans want to prove Danielson wrong...do it. You have your chance every home game this year.

Not even close to a Bama fan...far from it, but this SDS column is totally without context and show how lazy these SDS writers are. Re: Dallas Turner...how about a stat of if he was getting double teamed...and if so how much. Re: Kool-Aid...C'mon SDS...basic journalism requires you provide how many times the receiver he was covering was targeted. Was the QB throwing to the other side to avoid KA? Re: Burton...any receiving stat should include the TOTAL number of snaps with a breakdown of how many were run plays and how many were pass plays. Columns like this one remind me that SDS is about click bait and not real sportswriters who take their jobs seriously. Consume this information whether its for your team or its hated rival at your own peril.

Absolutely true.

Hey BlackandGold...you really should be charging rent for the space between your ears that is occupied by Vols.

Yikes! As much as I want my team to succeed at the expense of other SEC teams...it's painful to see another SEC team meandering down the same road we've traveled. A few mis-steps with coaches...and it's 10 years back to being relevant. Be careful Gator Nation!

"History like DeVonta Smith, Jerry Judy, Julio Jones, Henry Ruggs, Jaylen Waddle and Amari Cooper did? Best not post nonsense and remove all doubt among readers as to the level of intellect they are exposed to." Are we including the murder charge Ruggs in facing in this history?

Oh yeah...medical problem...got it...

Probably good to note that Simpson is a coach's son as well. That never seems to hurt a QB's development. Plus he's a good character kid...Bama got a good one with Ty.

The reason why "Kirby knew something didn't look right" is because he heard it on his headset. On every play a QC coach counts the players on the field. He says nothing if its 11...alerts the DC or OC if there are more or less.

This just in: “a coach says his team deserved a better ranking”, “our team cared”, “we had to earn back respect”. Really? Wonder if the comments would have been the same if Young and Campbell opted out? Or if Bama hadn’t purchased insurance policies on both of them?
