    Football question

    Agree completely. Regardless of who plays and who doesn’t, if we don’t physically dominate these guys and look like a disciplined, well-coached team, that’s going to be concerning. Other than that, my only concern is whether the coach has been lying about injuries. I still maintain that guys...

    Football question

    So which guys do we expect not to play tomorrow due to injuries? I suspect the list is much longer than Brent suggested it would be when he downplayed injuries throughout camp. Gibson, Gibson, Eli were the ones we expected, but I have heard some speculation that a couple offensive linemen might...

    Be careful, you got the Coach laughing emoji … no comeback for that! Joking aside, you’re absolutely entitled to state your opinion. Coach just takes personal offense whenever anyone says something that he doesn’t agree with, and acts like he is a better fan than all of us.

    He has to be nicknamed "Dingo," right? "Maybe the dingo ate your baby!"

    2026 recruiting

    Moser was on the radio with Neal today but no info of note. They spent half the time talking about football and a few minutes recapping last year, and just a few minutes about this season. He said we are longer and more athletic than last season, he likes the fact we have five guys back who were...

    Football question

    TE is awful. Running back remains to be seen outside (hopefully) Ott. We know what Barnes is at this point. Tatum is going to have to make huge strides with ball security and blocking to ever be a factor. Robinson showed promise but needs to show he can do it consistently. And despite the...

    Football question

    I wish I shared your optimism and I hope you’re right. I just think people are putting a lot of faith in reports that all our players are “dogs” and studs. A team with one guy likely to be picked in the first three rounds certainly has a lower floor than 8-4 in the SEC, unless you think Brent...

    Football question

    Who knows who will/won’t return? And the schedule remains to be seen. My worst nightmare is an 8-4 season and the new AD deciding that’s good enough to warrant a fifth year with a DC masquerading as a head coach. Especially if that 8-4 record is full of coaching errors and roster misevaluations.

    Football question

    Reward for what? Being the better player? I genuinely am not trying to be obtuse. I just don’t understand. Is this like the Little League World Series and everyone gets to bat, or is it D-1 and you play the best guys? If RSJ is healthy and the better player, he should start. If he isn’t healthy...

    Football question

    Oh I have heard them talk for years about his pass blocking. But he has been a good blocker for three years, and we have all seen how bad/mediocre our running game has been. And if you weigh pass blocking that much, then why go out and spend so much on Ott? Other than Mateer, he is the best/most...

    Football question

    You're right, it is Sexton who is the OR at LT, and he also missed way more time than Fasusi, correct? I guess I forgot that Howland also missed time at RT -- hard to keep up with all the people who missed time on our supposedly healthy team. What's the word on RSJ not being the clear starter...

    Football question

    Fasusi missed what, two or three days? He clearly practiced far more than Simmons, so if there is any consistency to Brent's thinking, the same rationale should apply. I hope the people who are confident that Ott will start week two are right. I hope he and Balylock and/or Robinson are the guys...

    Football question

    Then why is Simmons listed as a potential starter on the O-line, when he also missed a ton of camp? Seems like if you're going to hand out starting spots as "rewards" for practice time rather than simply starting the best players, that would apply at every position, not just running back. Again...

    Football question

    The 2000 team isn’t a bad analogy from that standpoint because you’re right, that wasn’t nearly our most talented roster. But … that team has a brilliant, aggressive young head coach. His coaching won us games. Now … our coaching loses us games. I truly think that all the other stuff can be true...
