It is similar to Butch Jones but with one major difference, Butch managed to beat UGA that time on a ridiculously improbable Hail Mary. No such luck for Geoff.

You are probably right. At this point, I am just trying to find something positive. After all, we are in the Coastal where just about anything can happen and usually does. I can't remember exactly which teams but a number of our opponents are going through transitions of one kind or another...

Coach Collins might be able to hold on to his job with 5 wins but that is the absolute minimum I would think. The exodus of starting linemen on both sides of the ball has become a serious issue. I see the very real possibility of another 3 win season but I can also see us winning 5 with some...

That camel is in some serious hurt and not likely to get over "the hump".

Really? Disappointing but I don't blame him a bit. He has been in the trenches a long time.

Thank you Red, that was my impression from other fans I had talked to. As I understand it, the only one coming back then is Minihan? Now Coach Key can really show his stuff and earn his salary. Never mind, I see where Mikey is hanging up his cleats. Can't say I blame him. This is going to...

He has been there quite a while that is for sure. If he is playing next year that would be a major plus. My understanding, from other sources was that Cochran was the most consistent and best overall of the linemen but who knows?

We lost three players from the offensive line Mikey Minihan, (spelling?) and two others, whose names, mercifully perhaps, I cannot recall. My question for those more knowledgeable is were these three the best performers last year or are they more like the ones in the secondary who struggled so...

That is disturbing. How can this defense possibly get any worse? We got outscored 100-0 the last two games.

I am about at the point of just admitting the college football landscape has changed to where it is impossible for academic schools that still cherish the idea of a true student-athlete to compete anymore with the elite factories that have morphed into professional football training grounds...

Well, he says the right things and I am encouraged that he is working exclusively with the defense. I was shocked at the sheer number of players who had started at least six games that were either graduating or left via the portal. Coach Collins has his work cut out for him as do all the...

This could happen or we might win 6 games or so. It really comes down to whether Sims is able to put this team on his back and carry them. The defense can't get any worse than the 34 ppg. it gave up last year...or can it?

We are not quite on the level of Tulane, Vanderbilt, and Duke but give it time and we just might join the club.

I hate to say it but there is a lot of pressure on Sims to be much, much, better than he has shown thus far and now there is no Gibbs to lean on. It might help if he could get the ball and have a couple of seconds to actually look downfield.

Ballin has a point though. The coaches can't do it for them. Brings to mind what John McKay once said after an ill advised move from USC to the Tampa Bay Bucs. Asked by a reporter about his team's "execution" said the coach: "I am all for it". I can just imagine the frustration going on...

Charmin soft? Besides everyone knows that "ballin" was a four star back in the day.

Yep. Instead of losing to Mississippi State we would have to lose to The Citadel...oops, been there, done that.

These are "men" who we like to think of them as "men" but they really are not in terms of thinking and planning ahead. Give them some slack, let them say their piece, and move on. As you implied, many if not most of them, are moving on for a reason. They have been weighed in the balance by...

I don't see a midseason firing either. Tech just does not do things that way. Florida infamously fired Ron Zook in mid season after losing to Mississippi State. Wags on Gator Bait claimed that Athletic Director Jeremy Foley got his "bell rung" (so to speak) by the State fans in Starkville to...

He avoided them for good reasons...financially and in the case of Ole Miss, the talent they had in those days. Dodd once said that he did not get many players from Mississippi but of the ones he had, he never got a bad player.
