I think Holly's downfall will be recruiting, especially In state recruiting. In the 2016 class she is losing the top two in state players to UCONN and Vandy!! Both of those players are top 10 in the country. and they have no top 60 verbal commits. 2015 class is only ranked 14th in the country and no top 10 players in the country were signed, and they signed 1 instate player Meme Jackson from Blackman (35th national) 2014 class had 1 player top 10 in the country, and they signed 1 instate player Alexa Middleton from Riverdale (28th national)

I disagree that it kills any chance of getting Lindsey, does it hurt the chance... possibly. Kill the chances? No I think there has been enough of a relationship built with Lindsey by Cuonzo and Webster that it doesn't kill the chances, now will the HP coach try and deter Jalen because of the mess with Landry...definitely. The HP coach didn't help Landry's chances of keeping that scholarship at Tennessee either, based on how Travon regressed under his coaching. Yep. In the short term it's better not to have Landry taking up a scholly, but you can guarantee this will be used against him in recruiting and probably kills any chance at Lindsey in particular. I don't know what he was thinking ever offering Landry.

not true about Tennessee having 5, it is 4 with Peyton winning it 4 times
Only other SEC player to win NFL MVP since 2003 is Shaun Alexander, so that part of the stat is correct.

is at the airport and has reported that Dave Hart's car is outside the Pilot Hangar, he is trying to find out where Hart is/where the Pilot plane is gone to.
According to what I have heard Rucker says that plane is headed to Louisville... haven't been able to verify that

I want to know how they explain the fact that Strong is mulling over a UT offer if Gruden is to be announced today or tomorrow.
I honestly don't understand how any rational person can believe it.
Don't you know that Strong mulling over a offer is just a smokescreen... hahaha

Who is Tenacious D?
If I am not mistake he is the owner/moderator of 8thmaxim, he has been sticking by his Gruden story since the beginning.

I know this won't be a popular opinion but Tressel would be a huge upgrade over Dooley. I am not saying I think we should hire Tressel but he is ALOT better than our current HC.
With that being said no one will hire Tressel until 2017 and maybe not then, due to his 5 years show cause letter.
On December 20, 2011 the NCAA placed Ohio State on an additional one year's probation and banned it from postseason play in 2012 for numerous major violations under Tressel's watch. It also imposed a five-year show-cause penalty on Tressel, which means any NCAA member that wants to hire him would have to "show cause" for why it shouldn't be sanctioned for hiring him, and could face severe penalties if he commits any further violations during that time. The order stands until December 19, 2016; given past precedent, it will likely have the effect of blackballing Tressel from the coaching ranks until the 2017 season. If Tressel ever coaches again during this period, he will be suspended for the first five games of the regular season, plus any conference championship game or bowl game. The NCAA came down particularly hard on Tressel because he'd had four chances to tell the truth and failed to do so

NO WAY that is legit... do we really think Dave Hart would mention Orange Pants and the Orange Dog???
"We know this is an odd situation to place Derek in, but if he can show improvement over the remainder of the schedule, I don't see how it could hurt his chances of being reinstated as head coach, unlike orange pants or orange dog statues."

Who is your favorite SEC team (not counting UT, of course) and why? Mine may not be as popular as most but mine is LSU. Those fans are crazy and I can catch myself cheering for LSU anytime they play anyone except the VOLS.
Who is your favorite NCAA D1 (not calling it FBS, or whatever it is) team and why? Michigan used to be when I was growing up, now I would have to say it is VA Tech.
What non-SEC game (neither opponent is an SEC team) would you like to go to? I think I would like to see the Red River Rivalry - Oklahoma vs Texas
Who was/is your all-time favorite college player? Tee Martin
What are you dressing up as for Halloween this year? Not dressing up, never been a thing for me to do.

Didn't even think about it, reach out for the orange shirt. One quarter doesn't impact my support. It's not about one quarter for most people... it's a culmination of the last 3-5 years and it reached it's peak last Saturday because we ALL expected to win and to turn and watch your team give the game away and give up and quit when they got down, it makes it hard to be emotionally invested in this team when time after time they let you down. I know for myself I drove there expecting to win and invested way too much emotion and refuse to invest that much more until this team proves to me that they can win a upper echelon SEC game.
