  1. A few things.

    Key has us to the point where most of our games WILL be close. So when we win it will be heart thumping excitement like the end of FSU. When we lose it will be demoralizing at the end. That’s where we are which is a huge improvement over 100-0 and being made fun of on national TV. Key has...
  2. Louisville Postgame

    My exact thoughts. If I’m Pyron I’m pissed after this one. If I’m King I’m pissed after this one. How hard is it to lineup under center with Biggers playing halfback? Philly has shown everyone it’s not a complicated play. Strong QB being pushed by DLinemen works.
  3. Louisville Postgame

    Yeah, today was pitiful, but we have at least moved from the bottom tier to the mid level tier where we will be in most games. It also means we will lose some ones we could have won but we won’t be embarrassed. Let’s see if Key can get us on the positive side of the tier. So far we are 1-2...
  4. Conference Realignment

    Did y’all forget SMU in the 80’s? They sold out and had a fanbase. If you win and have some stud players the eyeballs will come. Everyone loves a winner.
  5. TN to add 'talent fee' to all tickets

    I agree. But I can’t be naive. The NCAA showed us that the enforcement branch is easily manipulated or out right bought off with suites, family admissions, masters tickets, etc. No difference than every cop or prosecutor has at their disposal - DISCRETION. And much like the committtee did...
  6. TN to add 'talent fee' to all tickets

    Illegal bagmen won’t be competing with NIL. The cheaters will give the legal NIL - so the player will already be offered the lambo and a direct deposit. The illegal money comes in when a GT and UGA both offer the same player a very nice NIL package. Then suddenly a bag of cash shows up at...
  7. TN to add 'talent fee' to all tickets

    Agreed. Except there will also be an another source of compensation. The illegal bagmen. It’s not going away especially with caps in place.
  8. TN to add 'talent fee' to all tickets

    In this environment? What? We haven’t been competing the past 50 years because they paid players while we didn’t. Now that it’s above board suddenly you are upset. I can’t understand why fans are upset now when they have been watching their beloved GT lose year after year to UGA in an unfair...
  9. TN to add 'talent fee' to all tickets

    What was their bagman budget? I know several Auburn booster families down here in Albany who WERE the bagman. The stories are funny as heck regarding how players were paid or induced.
  10. Brian Kemp signs NIL --- Executive Order

    Come on now. Anyone who has ever followed GT knows the answer to this. I get that we are all in love with JBatt and Cabrera right now, for freeing our football and basketball programs from horrible coaches, and yes, they have opened some resources. But GT has some serious forces working...
  11. TN to add 'talent fee' to all tickets

    I get all that. But that’s my point. When both UGA and Bama offer a Gibbs type player 3M and the players rep goes back to them we all know these teams will do what it takes to get the player. If it means going outside whatever system is in place they will. They have a 50 year track record of...
  12. TN to add 'talent fee' to all tickets

    Not at all. The only teams that will follow the cap are same ones who wouldn’t cheat before. If Bama and UGA both offer a kid the max cap, what do you think they’ll do when the players rep tells both sides? They’ll sweeten the deal. And just like Burger King bags of cash well never know, but...
  13. TN to add 'talent fee' to all tickets

    Cap? That has to be a joke, right? So teams that paid players when the cap was $0 and probation was a possible penalty are gonna magically stop at whatever the cap is on paper? This is laughable. I can see it now, “here kid, here’s your 400K wired into your account. Now, next Tuesday stop...
  14. VMI post game thread

    This is it exactly. King had a fantastic year last year yet everyone always bring up the picks. Not all picks are created equal. Are end of half or end of game picks that important when they are essentially hail marys? He’s playing very tentative right now because that’s what he’s been told...
  15. Conference Realignment

    The only line the ACC will see is about 8 teams walking out the door as soon as the door is cracked. Whether thru expiration, negotiation, or litigation.
  16. Conference Realignment

    Welcome to the world of message boards.
  17. Conference Realignment

    That’s fine, but neither was Bama with Milroe at QB. But they sure were given the chance.
  18. Conference Realignment

    And you are leaving out the part where FSU’s defense was top tier. The Ravens and Buccaneers both won Super Bowls with very mediocre QB’s (Dilfer/Johnson) because their defense won it. We’ve seen it in college too. Do you believe Bama or Michigan would have been left out if either Milroe or...
  19. Conference Realignment

    Exactly. They, for the first time EVER, used injury as a talking point only AFTER Bama beat UGA and they were in no way, as Jim Prather said above, ever going to leave the SEC out. The committee took the route of least resistance and it was the ACC. And it proved to be correct from their...
  20. Injuries

    It’s clear by now that Key plays word games when it comes to injuries. I’m fine with it as it keeps our opponents off balance but it makes him look like a light weight sometimes. Alexander is obviously hurt and we know nothing about Cooley. I expect Cooley, Alexander, and Rutherford to all be...
