Should have never gotten rid of Philip Fulmer, haven't been the same since. I haven't watched Tennessee in years.

 

Who's there coach now?

 

 

I agree Tenn should have not gotten rid of Phat Phil. It would have been fun watching Saban crush him year after year after year.

 

As for the coach, that would be Jeremy Pruitt, Bama's DC last year.

I think that Pruitt will be an excellent coach.  The defense really responded well to him last year and Tenn. is going to get better.

What happened to what's his name that coached  them just before Pruitt?

Here is rundown of coaches since Fulmer:

Lane Kiffin - 2009. Lasted one year. Bolted for the USC gig as soon as it opened. Vol fans went into mob mode.

Derek Dooley - 2010-2012. He didn't make it through the 2012 before he was fired. 3 straight losing seasons.

Butch Jones - 2013-2017 was canned during the 2017 season after going 4-6 overall, and 0-6 in the SEC.

 

Irony: After the 2017 season, Bama hired Jones as an offensive analyst. And yes, he did smoke a cigar after Bama beat Tenn this year. Vol fans were not happy.

time for the weekly update and comments...

 

Thursday night:

 

Temple at UCF, chance to watch this mid-major upstart,  first time I've gone out of my way to watch this kind of scene since Boise went to Idaho State awhile back, the game was in a barn with the uprights nailed to the wall of the barn.

 

Saturday nooners:

 

Huskers at tOSU, my what a sad state Big Red has become since it embraced a schedule where there was finally a good team facing them before the year-end tilt with the Sooners.... and speaking of sad states (nah I won't kick the Buckeyes when they are down...)

 

Syracuse at Wake Forest, shout out to excited fans of Cuse and the best nickname in college for that team in Winston-Salem

 

Saturday 3:30s:

 

Georgia/Kentucky which sadly doesn't mean a *****ing thing at all this season

 

Penn State/Michigan, best of the dueling rinky-dink tinker-toy option games on the tube

 

Prime Time

 

Irish at Northwestern, it's such a sad year that the Wildcats are seen as a decent team, yeah they are "a decent team" indeed

 

Bama/LSU, first time Bama has to face a decent opponent, great strategy because they can lose and still get in the playoff while dodging the SEC title game, what genius!!!!

 

Cal/Wazzu because the way it is going a Pac 12 team is probably going to be a #4 or #5 option for the playoffs spots, I won't spend a second on it though

The spread for Nebraska at OSU is down to 17.5. They’ve beaten the Huskers by an average of 50.5 pts over the last two years and they’re at home. Do with this what you will.

 

What happened to Nebraska?  I go back to the early 70s and hold some old fart nostalgia thoughts they should be good....

Recruiting has been impacted by moving to the Big 10, they have no rivals, and they lost their Texas recruiting base. Kids now have no memory of when they were good and no one wants to live in Lincoln.

My Saturday slate

 

On the big screen, Red Dead Redemption 2 :D

 

Moved my bedroom TV so I can watch football and play at the same time

 

Early Games:

A lackluster lineup.  Guess I'll go with Sparty @ Maryland on ESPN2

 

Afternoon Games:

#14 Penn St @ #5 Michigan

#13 West Virginia @ #17 Texas might be worth flipping over during a Penn St commercial break.  Winner probably ends up playing Oklahoma for the Big12 title

#6 Georgia @ #9 Kentucky:  Is Kentucky for real?  I don't think so, my guess is this is a Georgia blowout

 

Primetime:

#1 Alabama @ #3 LSU.  The Elephant in the room. 

#4 Notre Dame @ Northwestern.  Flip over during commercial breaks or if Alabama/LSU is a blowout

 

Late Games

Cal @ #8 Washington St.  When I'm done with RDR2 for the night, take the TV back to the bedroom, turn on ESPN and the sleep timer

Needless to say, this is the best Michigan team Harbaugh has had in Ann Arbor. 

 

If he can't beat Ohio State with this team he has, and this team that Ohio State has, then I don't know when he will.

Michigan was at their best today. Their defense is outstanding. Great getting Rashan Gary back.

 

Gotta keep the intensity up, take one game at a time and not look forward to the Ohio State game.

Texas Tech QB Alan Bowman knocked out of the game at halftime.

 

During halftime warmups Bowman was hit in the head by a stray football. Bowman was not wearing a helmet and has been ruled out for the rest of the game.  No word yet on the exact injury, most likely either a concussion or hit in the eye.

Very odd set of circumstances, no doubt.

Anyone still watching T.T. and U.OK?

 

Exciting stuff! 

 

Texas Tech just scored, went for 2 points to tie; picked off in end zone, Sooner runs the ball like 105 yards for 2 points going the other way!

 

 

 

Big12 had the two most exciting games of the day

I was watching Wisconsin./Penn State and there was no energy on the field or stadium so I switched to Bedlam.

 

 

 

How did you switch from a noon game that ended at 3:15 over to a game that started at 3:30 on the same network?

 

I enjoyed the Penn St game, but then again I'm a Penn St homer.  Bedlam has been exciting lots of points on the board.  If you prefer defense, Northwestern@Iowa on Fox is 7-3 midway thru the 3rd

I DVR everything and then pick what I want as it goes.

 

 

Who won ?

Not much on the schedule this week. 

I got Penn St at noon of course, but the rest of the schedule isn't that interesting.

 

This weeks is like the calm before next week's storm of rivalry games

ND-Cuse from Yankee Stadium 2:30. Bad unis tho.

 

tOSU at Maryland at noon. Shouldn’t be a nail biter but probably will be. 

 

UC at UCF is a good matchup, probably not of interest to anyone who doesn’t follow either program. I follow UC a bit they have some former tOSU coaches on staff and a lot of CBus area kids play there.

A game featuring those uniforms should be watched on a black & white TV

Imagine if you will, the chaos a Maryland upset of Ohio St coupled with an Ohio St victory over Michigan would unleash on the Playoff picture.

The only thing it would unleash is someone overtaking Michigan for the 4th spot. Osu isn’t getting in unless the committee has no other choice. It’s pretty obvious. They could win out and everyone else lose one and i still don’t think they would get in over a 1 loss ND, Oklahoma or WVU or even a 2 loss LSU. Committee has shown what they think of them.  Don’t lose by 29 to Purdue.

Playoff picture is Bama and three “whatever’s” that will be steamrolled by Bama
