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?

Grow up folks. Stop projecting your middle aged white man fondness for "State U" onto a group of kids you literally have nothing in common with. These kids are looking for the best path forward in their lives. If that means wearing a crimson jersey, a orange jersey, or a pink one with black polka dots...they could care less.

Kind of a "Bama-centric" way of looking at this year don't you think? You've missed the whole point here. Why will the Saban "Process" not survive? Because we are now in an era specifically meant to allow players to be more concerned about themselves than their team. And for RTR folks just remember: The "changes" to "stop Saban" were the result of a federal anti-trust lawsuit. To think it had anything to do with Saban is to confirm what most other fanbases think about your opinion of yourselves.

Agree wholeheartedly. If we have learned anything from this team this year, the "lights" and "attention" have no effect on them. Georgia is a great team and showed it as expected. It might be a good time for Vol fans to remember a few things: Vegas had them 8 point dogs. It was CFP committee that had them rated higher than the Dawgs. I'm pretty sure my Bulldog fan friends would agree that when cash money is on the line...you trust Vegas not the the CFP. Kirby and his staff saw some things on film and adapted? But guess what? How they responded is now on film...I'm sure Coach H will find some post game adjustments as well. We are still way ahead of schedule on rebuilding...and this year isn't over. This team has wildly over-performed, and has been a delight to watch. Regardless of what happens over the next 3 games...I wouldn't trade one moment of this season. And I'm not sure other SEC teams that lost last night can say the same thing.

Yup…I’ll bet that’s what the linebackers covering Hiatt will be saying to themselves…”I feel so disrespected….”

Prediction: that "high school" offense is going to up 500 plus yards on BBN.

Met him once...one dang fine southern gentleman. Go rest high on that mountain.

SDS, keep your eyes on this one. I predict she will cause daddy some problems in the future.

Three words blueman: Emery Air Freight Since you may be too young google it.

Yup. It is. Thanks Will.

Easy there big fella...easy...

Amen brother...please chill VFL's Quick reminder...traditionally the worst performing teams we have are favorites at home with big crowds.
