UGA won't come close to running the ball like they did against OU....Fromm won't beat Bama throwing. Bama wins their 47th national championship...or will it make it 48?

Barnes has to recruit some difference makes...types that can put the team on their backs come nutt-cutten time. We have a rag tag team that plays hard but not a difference maker down the stretch in a close game. As long as Barnes keeps bringing in 3 star blue collar type players we will lose more down to the wire games than we'll win.

AU beat them every where there is a stat....Just a sorry a$$ effort. Got up 14 and AU punched them in the mouth and they folded like a cheap suit.

I look at this way............We've gone the past 8 years without a coach, what's one more week! 

Just make sure you're losing with ~5 minutes to go, and you should be fine.

Yep.....if the game was 35 minutes instead of 40 we'd be undefeated.

Yep   

The score of the bammer game is impressive, but as usual their D bailed them out.  The first int leading to a score was a bit of a fluke.  Bammer did take advantage by scoring off it, but it also killed a good deal of Clemson momentum.

Oh well.  The silver lining is that our future HC did shut Clemson down.  This year.  Also since there is only a week to the final game, HCJP will be in Knoxville soon enough.  A bonus of bammer losing would have been an extra week on the 'cruiting trail for him.

Believe it's still the dead period?

I was pissed at OU because they played not to lose in both OTs.  Extremely conservative on the play calling, and it cost them the game.

They missed their chance when uga had to kick a FG on the first OT.  All they had to do was let Baker be Baker, but no, they went into a shell and accepted the tie.  Worst part is that they FG kicker is shaky anyway.   

^Exactly.....Lincoln Riley went full Butch Jones at the end of regulation and OT.

The only thing I dislike about Clemson is that Dabo Swinney is fleecing us of our best in-state talent. And that makes them unlikeable in my book, even though Dabo seems to be a standup guy and it's our own damn fault that we can't secure our borders.

The game that really hurt was Georgia coming back against Oklahoma. I'll be man enough to admit that even though I should be bigger than to care what some 18-year-old kid does on Twitter, seeing Cade Mays' cute little video that included mention of Tennessee makes me want to see UGA destroyed in every game they play. The longer Tennessee sucks, the more vengeful I become. 

And Todd Blackledge had to tell the nation last night that those 2 Clemson players were from Tennessee. Didn't hear him say anything about the kids from Georgia, Florida etc...

Much like Boise State a few years ago where they loved playing the giant killers in bowl games UCF looked to play the same part......Auburn played like they didn't like playing in the same city and stadium they played in 3 1/2 weeks earlier in the SECCG. Yesterday UCF was better no doubt.

Our last staff position opening is for a WR coach.....just saying. 

Cowboys have more issues than just Dooley....Jason Garrett is a YES man to Jerry Jones so he will be there forever.

Happy New Years!

At 63 I just drank a beer and ate a pizza on my couch with the wife. Retired from going out on NY Eve about 10 years ago. Will try to see the new year come in but I wouldn't take any bets on it.

Finebaum is the college sports version of Jerry Springer.

This is one game I blame Barnes as much as the players.....No reason to slow it down and go deep into the shot clock. Up 9 with under 5.....Good teams should punch it up to 13-14 in that position. Just dumb slowing it down there.....And for gosh sake work on your out of bounds plays.

Hope this team isn't like ones in the past that get to SEC play and decide to disappear for a while.

Just think of the 4 and 5 star talent Butch had on campus that wound up transferring out.

Agree....I do in the regular season but not bowl season. Too many players held out for injuries and surgeries and then some players that don't play because they are entering the draft. Then you have teams with interim coaches like A&M etc. I never touch bowl games.

He didn't have a real good season this year and was suspended for a game for being stupid. Wish him well but IMO with all the RBs in the draft this year he'll be down the list.

Only 10 more SEC schools and Chief will complete the cycle.

He will find out that it will be very hard to get the talent he had at UT...LSU and A&M to come to NW Arkansas.

Good luck to him....Probably a 3rd or 4th round pick.

Apparently, for a change from the norm, we will be helped by his F$U buyout as well

That doesn't happen at UT...does it?! Believe I read on here or another site that Butch is going to help on the Knoxville Catholic staff which will screw UT on his buyout. I believe his contract said he must seek employment.....The UT lawyers should hold him and his agent to it or stop the checks.

Saying he says he will graduate this Spring and move on and not be back. Kind of surprised because I think he would be more suited for Pruitt's offense...Odd.

Reports saying he will coach special teams and help on the defensive side.

I'm sure he won't.....And yes we need help...our OL was SLAW (Slow...Lazy and Weak). Can't compete in this league with the OL we currently have.
