Yes, 2016 has turned out to be a largely forgettable year if you’re a Georgia fan. Which is not the same thing as saying there haven’t been certain pleasures worth savoring.
For example, Booch will walk away with this season’s doing the least with the most in the SEC East award. (No, Mark Richt didn’t retire the award. Smart ass.) That’s only a little part of the fun, though. Way more enjoyable is discovering how inept he is with spin.

I swear, you can’t make shit like that up. I just hope UT’s learned the wrong lesson from its coaching carousel and lets him hang around for a while. He’s fun.
Get The Picture 
I needed that today. UT will always be the laughingstock of the SEC least.

Confession: I never gave two hoots in hell about the Vols when I was a kid. We didn’t play them all that often so they were just another SEC team. Then in 1988 I moved to Tennessee, and they quickly vaulted to the top of my most-hated list. Now I hate those obnoxious jackasses and their square dancing theme song. Anytime the Vols are in turmoil, air smells sweeter, food tastes better, and I sleep a little bit more soundly. I hope Sgt. Carter sticks around a good long while; they deserve each other.

I hate the Vowels more than any other SEC program–even FU. But when it comes to hoping Bootch stays forever, well he’s the most successful head football coach they have had since Phat Phil and he has beaten UGA the last 2 years. Just sayin.’ Maybe we should hope that he gets offered another job and takes it. Then the Vowels can go through what they have gone through the last 10+ years all over again.

Agree Senator, never expected the face plant that was UT this year. Even with injuries, Booch has had 3 years of very good recruiting classes, so no excuses about depth plus even when his guys were all healthy early in the season, they still looked terrible.

Mizzou, most total yards even against the vaunted Vol defense led by Shoop. Another great HC hire by TN, heard he has commitments of almost twenty 3 Star recruits thus far. Also had two starters quit the team in mid-season this fall, things are starting to smell again on Rocky Top.
Now you just hope Vandy can get bowl eligible against them next week. Speaking of Vandy, what a home run hire Kingsbury would be for Mason’s OC when Pretty Boy is fired at TT. If I were Vandy, I would back a Brinks truck up in Lubbock, lasso him and head to Music City. They need that type of Big 12 offense to compete with the athletes they are able to get.

I definitely think the weaker power 5 programs should run a version of the spread. That way they only need to have a couple athletes better than their peers, not an entire 11 man offense.

You may see it differently, but Sgt. Carter didn’t beat us, either year. I know every one likes to place all blame or credit on the coach but most of what they do happens before the team takes the field, or even begins the year. Butch isn’t someone I would dodge, or be concerned about facing, in any contest. He seems lower third of the HC community, imo.
