I can't bring myself to pull for Bob Stoops. Screw it I am for clemson.

Don't know why OU would be worried about coming to Neyland.......Over the past several years we haven't given anybody a reason to fear or worry about us. We have been pretty much the laughing stock of college football as of late. I've laughed to keep from crying to be honest.

We have a chance this weekend to change that.....It's put up or shut up time IMO.

Last years Florida game was loud until Worley fumbled the game away. :(

I was a student at UT. When they left the field at half time, it was the first time I ever heard fans Boo the Vols .

Is that you Hawk?  Long time no see.

Punks 

We just did the same thing to Annie Aldrete.  Limited her choices to 4 schools in California.  Cal Berkeley, SJ State, Fresno State. & Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.

Bay Vol and a few others?

Took his team to the NCAA tourney 19 of the last 21 years.  1 final 4, 2 elite 8's. The same people who are on the Rick Byrd (zero NCAA tourney wins) band wagon,  say Barnes can't win big in the tourney.   Go figure.  I would take him in a heart beat.

I don't think it was about "weight" at what you do at the end of the season. Ohio state got in by TCU basically because of $$$. TCU doesn't have the fanbase Ohio state has, and they won't get the TV ratings or bring the fans to the bowl like Ohio state.

Why would Condoleeza Rice, Archie Manning, or anybody else on the selection committee care about who brings the most fans?

Oh, I gotcha.  With a wink and a nudge.. eh?   

Sounds like you have been "Slived"

Why would they reach out/gauge interest then?

Literally, they didn't, actually they did, but literally they didn't.

The referees will be told to call the game loose on Bama (no or very few holding calls like they normally) and to call everything against Missouri. Look for a lot of "The prior play is under review" calls and no call will go against Bama and every call go against Missouri.  Bama DBs will be able to hold and assault Missouri receivers without penalty. I predict very few off-sides calls because the SEC officials suddenly cannot see them. Even if Rocky Goode is in the replay booth, do not expect many calls to go against Bama.

By the way, I watched Bama several times this year and Saturday was the only time I remember a holding call on Bama.

That is not just because it is Bama because the SEC officials have called games just like this always to favor the higher ranked team or if they just do not like the other coach. If it is Penn Wagers(?), look for a lot of long explanations that make little sense. There is just too much money and prestige for the SEC office to let Bama lose a close game.

I see a repeat of the Iron Bowl. Close for a half and then Bama goes wild in the 2nd half, with or without help from the zebras.

If I thought a scenario like that were true, I wouldn't be able to watch a college football game. It would be like wrestling. The problem with your theory is, eventually it would get out to the public, and that would result in the biggest scandal in college football history. I seriously doubt Slive is that stupid.

That isn't literally how it's done, no.

Literally how is it done?

Raise your hand if you think Slive will allow Bama to lose that game and lose millions for the SEC...

You seriously believe that Mike Slive is going to conspire with SEC officials to fix a football game?

Foley screwed the pooch hiring Muschamp. If he is going to pay this guys 7.5 million buyout, it had better be a home run hire.

What the ell is that?   

OK, I Googled it.  No ads and no tracking? That can't last.

Haven't looked into it yet. But you are correct, it probably won't last if it isn't making money for somebody.

Got an invitation last week, haven't signed up yet.

Thank Wren for throwing big money at BJ Upton, Dan Uggla, and Chris Johnson.  When a budget-minded team is on the hook for that much money for three guys who contribute little to nothing (literally nothing now in Uggla's case), some corners are going to have to be cut.  They were wise, IMO, to lock up Tehran, Freeman, Kimbrel, and Simmons last year, but they didn't have enough left over for Heyward. 

He HAS been a disappointment at the plate.  But I can't ever remember coming out on the good end of a trade with St. Louis.  Ron Gant and Adam Wainwright still haunt my nightmares.  I fully expect Heyward to magically start putting up triple crown type numbers next year.

He will probably win triple crown for the Cards.    I just don't see it as a huge loss, he was probably gone after next year anyway. If Miller can pitch like he did prior to last year it will be a good deal for the Braves.

To the damned Cardinals. 

First they let Brian McCann go, now they trade JeyHey. 

Not a happy Bravo fan right now.   

He is a 265 hitter that never put up the power numbers that people expected from him.  Not a huge loss, but they  also didn't get much for him.

I gotta go with the tiglets tonight.  Don't like them, but I like FSU less.

I use to love the all star game.  Interleague play killed it as far as I am concerned.

Are Volvo's expensive to maintain? I am in the market for a car also.

Doesn't matter, you can't beat many teams when you score 14 points in the second half.

[I wouldn’t say he just stepped over him]

“I recall the incident. [James] had abdominal cramps, full-body cramps,” Bell told Manny Navarro of the Miami Herald this week. “I think it was a lot worse than what Coach Saban knew. I wouldn’t say he just stepped over him. Jeno was in pretty bad shape. I don’t think us as players knew how bad it was.”

LMAO, Yeah he really shot that one down.
