I cannot begin to tell you all how much the tidal wave of well wishes I’ve received over the past week plus have meant. It’s been inspiring.
But I probably need to make clear that the last few days have been more of a respite than a resolution to my health situation. In fact, as you read this, I will be undergoing what I hope is a final resolution of that. It’s pretty substantial and I expect I’ll be out of commission for at least a week afterwards.
I promise I’ll return to blogging as soon as it’s feasible, so bear with me. And, thanks again.
God speed, Senator! We’ll be here when you get back.

Had it not been for the Nov. 19 loss at unranked South Carolina — an ugly 63-38 drubbing while playing without SEC Offensive Player of the Year Hendon Hooker — the Vols would have had a chance to make some history.«

Just to add to all the other comments, you might recall that the Vol fans were of the opinion that we won because of the rain which held their score down. Just for the record I re-watched that game this week and the rain did not even begin until about 5 minutes into the third quarter when we already had a sizable lead. In other words they weren’t scoring when it wasn’t raining. I think the rain had an impact – it kept us from scoring more and making the beat down even worse.

I dont approve of it whoever does it. I think a lot of people tuned in to the final who hadnt watched womens bball out of curiousity. A lot of those people thought Reese was a jerk. And the reflexive YOU CANT CRITICIZE HER some of her defenders jumped to dont change that for me. If thats what the women’s game is , i have no interest in watching it or supporting it. I saw the tail end of the UGA-Iowa game, thought the UGA girls took a couple of cheap shots in the last minute of a game they were losing and knew they couldnt catch up in. I didnt think much of that, either. Dont like cheap shots in the mens game, either. Its a weird foex to me to say “hey, theyre taunting jerks in mens bball, WOMEN CAN BE JERKS, TOO.” And, miss me with ” thats our culture” , too. Play hard? Great. Be fiery/competitive? Fine.

In baseball, the Diamond Dawgs get swept by Vandy in Nashville in embarrassing fashion. Is this truly the beginning of the end for Stricklin? If the Dawgs find a way to salvage a berth in the NCAA tournament and get bounced, does it save him?
LikeLike
I don’t know whether or not it is the beginning of the end for Strick or not, but the SEC is truly an embarrassment of riches in baseball. Seven teams ranked in the updated top 11 (LSU [1], UF [3], Vandy [4], Arkansas [5], USC [6], UK [10], and UT [11]). But no other team from the SEC ranked 12 -25. I don’t know if the problem is recruiting and/or lack of development or if he can’t manage or what the issue is. The Dawgs’ remaining SEC slate includes Kentucky, at UF, Arkansas, at Ole Miss, UT, at Missouri, and LSU to finish out the season. So 15 games against teams currently ranked in the top 11. Good luck with that.

Diamond Dawgs are already cooked unfortunately – because of the remaining schedule it will be nearly impossible to get back in CWS contention. Saw a bunch of power rankings on twitter that listed us last in the SEC. Not great, obviously.

Do people actually go to Vandy baseball games or is their facility just for recruiting?
Everyone around us has invested in their baseball programs, but we sit on a ballpark that’s quaint and quirky. When the team is good, the place is packed. I don’t know what is the best thing to do. I like Foley as a spot to play baseball. As a spot to watch, it seems dated (but I haven’t been to a game in a long time). I have no idea if the player facilities are competitive with the rest of the league.
It just seems Stricklin has peaked.

Some years we have had great pitching with no hitting. This year we can’t get people out.

wrs2410,
I have done much worst. But it did not cost me a couple of million dollars. I hope those owners and coaches have the ability to watch film. The main problem is a fifth round QB gets MAYBE 2 chances and if he does not shine, he is gone. A first or second or third round QB gets chances all day long. Stet can win for a team if they give him a chance. As could have Murry, Zier, Fromm and several more, if they just give him a chance. Stet did not help himself in TX.

Just watched the Stetson police video. There are happy drunks and there are mean/asshole drunks. Stetson appears to one of the later. A friend of mine growing up was a great guy if he was drinking beer. When he drank liquor he became the biggest asshole in the world, always starting fights. He finally figured things out and hasn’t had a drop of liquor in 30 years. Still drinks beer with no problem.

I’ve learned not to swallow too much of the spring Kool Aid. But, what else have we got to do in the offseason but obsess over that kind of stuff? I expect no real clues from Kirby; nothing for him to gain by giving people outside the building insight into who is ahead, or behind, or whatever.
I admit I have no clue. Beck seems to have the best accuracy, and the most experience. BVG is the biggest, strongest and most athletic, it seems. And Stockton may be a good combo of accuracy and athletic. I havent got a clue.
The TE room sounds like it’s in great shape. Ditto the WR room, and the RB room. Looks like we have plenty of experience, talent, and depth at OL; SVP coming back really solifidifed that unit.
The young defense that crushed almost everyone has almost everyone coming back, and while Ringo and C Smith were great, there is a load of talent coming in behind them.
What a time to be a Bulldog, huh? Some things cant be prepared for or predicted (injuries, bad calls, etc), but if we can avoid self inflicted wounds, we might be pretty good. Again.

After the NC in ‘80 I had hope for another NC just to be disappointed. Had hope ebb and flow through the late ‘80’s and 90’s. Real expectations were shattered under Richt. Renewed hope when Kirby was hired only to watch an almost disastrous 8-5 first season. ‘17 in the playoffs. Finally. That gave way to “just glad to be here” at the half against what turned out to be Choklahoma and first real chance at a NC since ‘83. Refs fucked us. I reckon that’s better than fucking ourselves. Excitement from that bitch Hope only to be met with disappointment until the Dawgs spanked that Gump ass. It all culminated with the biggest ass whipping ever in a NC or any bowl game. This is what I’ve always wanted. Georgia is the most dominant program in college football and runs the score up on second tier programs as a matter of course with the second string. Throughout it all I’ve been a Dawg. Never wavered. But never forget…
I’M A MONKEY! I’M A MONKEY!!

Its been quite a ride. And while we all know the ride wont last forever, it seems to have some run left in it. I am grateful for it, and every day it goes on is a bonus. I hope to enjoy seeing our enemies scattered before us, and the lamentations of their women this fall. Be ause FTMF. 😉

ADaB, I’m rapidly accelerating downhill; so, I know I was on the mountain top. But for the life of me I don’t remember when or for how long. I wandered in the wilderness for 41 years. Now by the Grace of Dawg I’m twice saved. If you were downwind from me today you’d believe my nasty, sweaty ass was freshly baptized in Shithole, Bay at low tide.
Might have to move that Saturday bath up to Friday afternoon.

He will burn it if he can.
I hope he can blame the AD, (Fat Ful) for his actions.

Saturday down South, Drew Peterson,
Kirby Smart’s most recent group of Georgia seniors went out with a bang.
Two national championships. A school record-tying 17 consecutive wins. A school record 49-5 mark. Talent alone doesn’t get a team to those kinds of heights. The culture has to be right. The mentality has to be right.
And it certainly was.
Smart praised the Bulldogs’ latest senior class during a recent appearance on the ‘Basketball and Beyond with Coach K’ radio show on SiriusXM, saying they didn’t step onto the field on Saturdays worried about the score. Their intent was nastier.
“That senior group, they wouldn’t sacrifice what they believed in, how they’d practice, the work ethic in the offseason. It was a special group of leaders,” Smart told Krzyzewski. “They went into every game not thinking about the score, not thinking about wing, they wanted to make the other team quit.
Damn just damn. Love my Dawgs.

““We say it another way that I understand a little better where I’m from,” Smart told the Macon Touchdown Club. “Are you willing to eat off the floor? Like seriously, are you hungry enough to eat off the floor? Because if you’re not careful, you’ve got a nice white tablecloth, you’ve got all the silverware, you’ve got all the good stuff, but are you hungry? Are you willing to go sweep the sheds? … Are you willing to leave it better than you found it?”
