“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23
It would be interesting to compare/contrast the punishment these “characters” would receive from different schools.
LSU- Players take a vote.
UGa- Have a seat on the bench son.
Florida- Half game suspension
uSC- rehab

AHD – you forget the rest:
Bama – police take the players directly to the Bama athletic building to either have scholarship revoked or “discipline” based on contributions to the team
Auburn – players suspended from one practice and then immediately reinstated prior to game against longest running rival
tOSU – we pass them off to the NFL and then deny everything when implicated in a murder

But do those awbarn players have their PAY suspended from that practice? See there’s the rub…

Sounds like the weekly speaker program isn’t working for them. Maybe they should try something else.

This is what kids do. It doesn’t rise to the level that would promote one of them to starting QB at Auburn.

It’s all good that they got in trouble with the law, they are good guys so it doesn’t matter what they actually do.

Butch Jones is just happy that Bert Bielema joined the conference to take the spotlight off of what a complete hack he is.

Bert is a slighty dumpier, more haggard, flintier dump truck with feet than Butch, and he also has a slightly worse crew cut. Plus, Butch can get corn from a jar. Knoxville is a dreary hick town, but it’s Paris compared to Pig’s Knuckle, Arkansas (which basically describes the whole state). I wonder who Bert looks down at from his lofty perch in Arkansas? Oh, wait: it’s the whole Big Integer!

A: This, but I don’t think he calls her the Big Integer

props to Bert for outpunting his coverage, but it just goes to show you what lengths some women will go to in order to get out of the Midwest.

“we have great character kids … if you look at our community service hours.”
Exactly! Danny O’Brien and A.J. Johnson alone will be contributing 64 hours of service to the Knoxville community! It’s a truly civic minded program.

I don’t think what these kids did is much of a big deal and hardly makes them bad characters, but they would both sit out two games at UGA and make Spurrier a happy Cock.

Everyone around that place simply needs more orange dogs statuettes and orange slacks. That should smooth it all out.

” …we have great character kids if you look at our academic success that we’ve had, if you look at our community service hours … ”
Is he referring to “forced” or “voluntary” community service hours?
