3 takeaways from Texas’s close road win over Vanderbilt
That roughing call was not questionable. They went back and added targeting because it was so bad.
I’m just here so I don’t get fined.
Right now it looks like Mizzou in general and Cook in particular are getting a lot of credit for what they accomplished last year. So far this year the offense really has not looked impressive. From an eyeball test I would put Nuss and Nico ahead of him.
Right now we are all kind of guessing on 1-6, until they start playing each other. It is especially hard to know about Ole Miss, since they had the weakest schedule of the group so far.
The one thing I am most excited about with this UT team is that our d-line is the best since the glory days.
That was an absolutely brutal way to lose a game. The officiating was really bad, but the biggest reason for the loss was #5 taking a shot at the QB on the pick six. That game is over if he doesn’t do that.
This is the way I see it
Teams that have proven they are elite:
UGA & Texas
Teams that have proven they are really good:
Tennessee
Teams I think are really good, but the schedule hasn’t given them a chance to prove it:
Missouri, Ole Miss, Alabama
I think 4 of those 6 teams make the playoffs and nobody else in the conference has a shot.
Also Napier and Stoops won’t make it through the year.
Just get off my lawn
I think Nico is going to be really good this year, but this is a game where I don’t want him to be the focal point. Dave Doren is a quality defensive mind and they are good at confusing the QB and creating a lot of interceptions. In this game I want to see our veteran offensive line dominate and our running backs run for over 200.
At a big picture level what is most impressive to me is you could easily have 8 of these guys get drafted in the future.
It wouldn’t surprise me if this ends up being the deepest quarterback year in conference history.
That’s true, but the flip side of that is that Vandy beat a top half of the conference ACC squad.
I’m expecting a really competitive game here. I think Florida starts hot, but I think their pitching staff eventually runs out of gas.
I’m hoping UF can win tonight and force an extra game to wear out whichever pitching staff we have to face over the weekend.
It was a very dramatic part of that 9th inning, but the walk by Peebles was huge. That guaranteed that Moore was going to get another at bat, and with the night he was having you knew he was going to keep it going.
The fact that our 1-4 hitters had 4 straight two out hits to win the game was incredible. Absolutely awesome performance after being awful in the field for the first few innings.
I don’t think he was taking a shot at LSU. I think his point was it is better to win the first 3 so you can have your pitching lined up better for the finals.
That “type” of guy. I obviously know Skenes is pitching for the Pirates now.
I think this is one of the most wide open CWS we have had in a long time. There are no true Cinderella teams, so that means there is no weak opponent that you would “want” to play.
Also, there are several good pitchers left, but no dominant top 5 draft pick type guys either. Last year LSU was almost guaranteed to win any game Skenes pitched, but this year I don’t think that guy is in the field.
I would give every team left pretty even odds of winning it all.
The records suggest you have 4 really good teams and 6-8 more that will probably make a regional.
Kentucky has the best collection of shooters in the conference. If their big guys can control the paint the way they did in the Tennessee game they can have a deep tournament run. If it turns into a perimeter oriented game I like their chances against almost anybody.
What I would worry about if I was UK is a team that has a physical big guy who can push around their interior players.
Probably the Saudis
At this point I would vote for him over either of the other options.
I think the MSU loss is going to come back to haunt us and keep us from winning the conference.
We have to take care of business in our next 6 games, where we will likely be favored in each, before we get to a brutal final four games of the regular season: home against Auburn, @ Bama, @ USC, home against UK.
That was a really well played game by both teams. Both offenses shot almost 50% from the field and 40% from 3, with a total of only 16 turnovers combined.
Basically the difference was rebounding and the big early run Tennessee went on.
The end of that game and overtime was some of the worst officiating I’ve ever seen.
Looking through schedules for next year Missouri has a really good chance to make the playoffs and maybe even make the SEC Championship.
They have 4 easy non-conference games and don’t have to play Georgia or Texas. They do have Alabama, but another 10-2 or even 11-1 type season is definitely a possibility.
I have to disagree on that one. The d line was actually pretty good last year, it was the backend that was the problem.
My Vols definitely need some DBs, so come on down.
Time to come home and let Rodney Garner get you ready for the league.
It was an extremely impressive performance, but in my mind to really be “back” they need to do that on the road.
Sorry this comment was supposed to be for Khanomil
If someone paid me $76 million dollars to NOT work, my happiness would be at an all time high.
Does it really matter if your career is dead if you have that kind of Golden Parachute?
