What happened to Tuberville was pretty sad. I still believe Gus was a good coach and Auburn may come to rue the day they got rid of him.

Interesting your experience is similar to the father of a friend of mine. The friend's father was a football player on the 1952 national championship team though he seldom got to play. He could not bear to watch Tech play even during the remainder of the 1950s and 1960s when Tech was still...

I am kind of pessimistic myself, but the middle group of 5 opponents UVA, Virginia Tech, Pittsburgh, and the other two, can end up being better than they were last year or worse. It remains to be seen. We could have a noticeably better team with about the same record which would be really...

Right now, we are a bad team, perhaps not bottom feeders but close and we have the disadvantage of academics as you point out. I disagree somewhat about the 5 teams being way above the rest. The divide is sharper now and the chances of a non factory team making waves is almost nonexistent. It...

I don't know about that but I preferred just going to bowls and then voting. That way fans could spend a month or so arguing about who is truly number one but that's just me. For the first time, I did not watch a bowl or playoff game. Did not miss it at all. Sad.

This is an unpopular opinion but I do not believe we will win 6 games next year and it may be much worse.

It might be a few more than that. I don't know. I do know that this will lead to fans "opting out" as it were.

There is much wisdom in this. The college football landscape has changed to being a sharp divide between the "Haves" like UGA, Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame, LSU, Florida, etc. and the Have Nots. It can be debated whether or not the Have Nots can further be subdivided into those who are fairly...

Maybe Tennessee and Auburn can afford this nonsense but not Georgia Tech. Let the man coach and see what happens. He may turn it around or it might implode starting next year but he has a contract. Let him fulfill it.

Well, Ron Zook at Florida recruited even better players and somehow managed to get beat at Mississippi State with their players dancing to "Who Let the Dogs Out". Urban Meyer took most of Zook's players and won a national championship with them. Randy Shannon and Al Golden at Miami had their...

That has always been my impression but right off the bat he had that team moving in the right direction whereas his predecessor, for what ever reason, always had teams that looked good getting off the bus and would flounder. Maybe the loss of those two stud running backs and the others will put...

I don't know. The sight of Clemson's punter playing quarterback and getting historically blown out to me was worse but yes, the optics of the Pitt game with "the Handshake" and all was pretty bad. I pray we play better and at least look like a football team otherwise this season has the...

I think we will be fortunate to win 4 games but I do not see this team being able to beat any of the top 5 listed above nor do I see Duke, NIU, or Kennesaw being able to upset us. Surely, we can get one or two wins out of the middle group of "even odds" or can we?

The lack of season ticket sales might be a phenomena that is seen in most of college football. My Florida friends tell me that the days of the Swamp being filled to overflow capacity are long gone. We will see if fans begin to "opt out" but I don't see them entering the "transfer portal" of...

Too early to give up on Coach Collins but he really needs some more wins. No matter what, he will be around for some time to come. We don't need to go the Auburn route.

Nothing is more important in the third year than winning games. Win only three games again and turmoil will be the least of TStan's concerns. Wholesale apathy will be the end result with lots of former fans finding other things to do on Saturday afternoons.

Even former elite factory teams cannot withstand multiple years of bad coaching. Eventually, it catches up to you. Exhibit A would be Tennessee. Always talented but the multiple disasters with Derek Dooley, Kiffin, etc. has finally toppled the Vols into a huge mess that will take the better...

This chart is telling. NC State had a pretty good year but simply cannot get out from under the UNC train. They have 1 four star while the Tar Heels have 11. The ACC is becoming a two tiered conference. There is the top tier of Notre Dame, Miami, Clemson, and UNC. Then, there is everyone...
