I said a few weeks back we can't outscore them.....I still believe that. We best have a run game and go on long drives and keep their offense off the field.

The United States Attorney General (Sessions) is a Alabama law school grad. Saban is protected more than Fort Knox.

I think Jones has definitely strayed from the original intent of the VFL program, and several players aren't happy about it.

JMO....but I think some VFL'ers figured out Butch and his BS and Butch doesn't like it.

Georgia ranked No.1 in the first playoff poll.

I see no way a coach...any coach knowing a kid had a concussion was allowed to play. There are trainers and teams doctors on the sidelines for a reason. If the player says nothing and continues to play with no signs it's hard to blame anyone. Also the refs are schooled to watch for such things and report/stop play on the spot.

I've read?.......that it was coming off the board (shut down) today at noon all along.

Kelly's SC was imposed in 2013, and was only 18 months long.  As far as the NCAA is concerned, he's now in the clear.  But this new SEC rule means that any coach who has had NCAA issues at any time in the past will have be approved by the commissioner.  So as far as the SEC is concerned, all NCAA actions against a coach have no expiration date and last a lifetime.  Pretty severe policy, if you ask me.

That's what I thought too.

Don't care how bad I hate the coach and want him fired (whoever that coach might be) I will never pull for the team to lose....EVER!! Those kids put 12 months of blood, sweat and sometimes tears into the game. I want them to succeed for them....they are the ones that have hard earned equity in the program.

Did Auburn do this for Pearl?

What I think this really means is that Bama and Saban have to approve it.

We can all get mad at Butch and the coaches.....We can want him fired yesterday...today or tomorrow but sometimes damn players have to make plays. And for some reason (much like Vandy over the past decades) we just can't make a play when it's there to be made or not make a stupid mistake. It goes back several years involving many games even before Butch. There were plays last night to be made that we didn't make that resulted in a loss to KY. Maybe this team needs a psychological evaluation.

I'm back and forth.....Name like Gruden who all kids know and it would spike recruits from the get go....Verses a guy who has been successful in big time football. Last time Gruden was in college was 1989 at Pacific as the TE coach. Like said above that would be a huge money gamble. He'd need to hire top notch OC and DC.

I'd roll with Gruden but I just don't see why he'd want to do it. Chucky walking up to the podium would be epic on the surface....and more so if Peyton were sitting up there with him.

Has to be more to the McElwain thing....He has looked disinterested all season to me. I think losing those 9 players did him in. You don't fire a coach that's won the east 2 years in a row unless it was a mutual thing. The death threats thing was odd.

Maybe Florida did us a favor and called our hand....If so...good!

Griffith was the one on Finebaum a few days ago that said he didn't think UT would make a change unless we could get David Cutcliffe. So I wouldn't believe Griffith if he told me today was Sunday.

Just a few minutes ago ESPN reported it's not official yet....Said Florida is wanting him to accept less than his 12.5 million buyout.

Got a feeling Mac wanted out more than the AD wanted him out.....That man has looked miserable all season. I think losing those 9 players did him in.

This weekend there will be around 83,000 in Neyland but the announced crowd will be 147,354.

Because we have some idiots on defense and a slow MLB....and 2 undisciplined players who got kicked out of the game sitting on their asses in the locker room.

Could have gone up 8 but should have been up 20 anyway. I'd never kick another FG with our kickers unless it was to try and win a game with 1 second left in the game and the ball inside the 5.

They did everything to hand us the game and we could not take it. KY had the ball for only 10 minutes the whole 2nd half and we lose.

Richmond would have played his last game for me tonight. Even if I had to play a walkon.

Put the ones still standing after the riot on our damn defense.

Give OSU credit they played great the last 6 minutes....Winners find ways to win. We use to know that feeling

Brilliant!!!
