If I did not give up on this team during the late 70s and the infamous Bill Lewis era then there is no turning back. Whatever our problems now, and they may seem considerable, they utterly pale in comparison to what Homer Rice and Bill Curry faced in the late 70s and early 80s. Quite...

Boy, this is good advice. I get so wrapped up in my team that sometimes I lose all sense of proportion. It is a game that we as fans vent about constantly without thinking about the feelings of the players. I am as guilty of this as anyone. The players and their interests should be...

I think it is worth watching again. One poster adamantly stated that you should not watch because your head will explode. It was frustrating because of the poor play by the defense and the fact that we were literally inches away from having a chance for a win. I think you would be...

If it were only as easy as firing the coach. Unfortunately, this problem goes much deeper and will take time and recruiting to solve.

I find it hard to believe that we will not sweep Georgia Southern, Duke, and UVA. They just are not that good. The real question is can we steal a win from UGA, Carolina, or Virginia Tech? Not unless, we start playing better, much better defense.

Yep. Please no more quarterbacks playing defensive back, more speed and toughness at linebacker, and more size and pass rush ability up front. Personally, with this recruiting class I would go all out and recruit nationally defensive linemen and linebackers. I would hope that we could...

I understand what you are saying but do you really think that defense was going to keep them out of field goal range? I would have gone for it too unless you have a center running down to block a safety when you only need a yard. What was he thinking? Just a really gut wrenching and...

Stars matter on defense. Boy howdy they matter big time.

I personally believe it is a talent issue. Although the defensive philosophy of bend don't break is not my cup of tea I understand Roof's reluctance to blitz but something has to change.

Nah, I am just letting off steam. There is fault all the way around. I did think the offense played very well against a pretty good defense. I was pleasantly surprised at the improvement on perimeter blocking and the pass protection was pretty good as well. Just need more stops somehow...

I saw what you did! You may be right but I am not sure what anyone could do with that talent level. But then, he recruited them so he's responsible. I am disappointed that JJ Green played a truly great game for nothing. On the fourth and one, what else could Johnson do? But I would...

Well, I understand your frustration but this is really on the players. They don't tackle, play pass defense or half the time they look like they are out of position. We have defensive backs that are not power 5 level players and the linebackers are about as sorry.

We lost a game that we should have won. Thanks to the defense. Our linebackers are terrible and the DBs are worse. One three and out. You can't win football games like that. Roof needs to get in their grill. You mean we don't have anyone better than 17 and 20 on pass defense? Just...

The difference is that if you put people on their backside, their speed does not matter so much. Miami 2014 was a good example of this. Corn Elder made a fine play on their end of the field but the block on the next play put him on his *** and we scored.

I don't know but I would speculate that it is more about Kentucky than it is about Stoops. The Bear was successful there a few years but left as soon as he could. Florida fans call them the "mildcats" for a reason. Just the way it is. In that state basketball and horse racing are WAY ahead...

You are, of course, perfectly correct. I just think it is beyond insane to throw millions of dollars out the window, so to speak, over a football coach without at least giving him time. Gee, this man was an outstanding coach at South Carolina and Florida. I think he would be fine if they left...

I do not understand why would you spend millions on getting a guy like Charlie Strong or Helton and cut them loose after just a couple of years? Some of these fan bases are their own worst enemies. The idea of Paul Johnson being on this list reveals that the analyst did not think about...

I am not sure that it is really a "turning point type game" Coastal contention is pretty much out the window. This is a rebuilding year. The sooner the fan base accepts this the better off it will be. I look for continued improvement from our young players particularly on both lines and...

Pitt by about two touchdowns. I have little to no confidence in our secondary to stop any passing attack with a pulse. I think we are improving steadily on offense but our best chance to win this game is to score four or more touchdowns and it would not hurt to kick a field goal or two. In...

Well, maybe we started putting guys in the wrong colored jerseys on the ground with more frequency and fewer whiffs. I am a big believer in blocking and tackling being the major determinant in who wins games. I also believe that with the triple option timing and getting the little things down...
