How many SEC quarterbacks were the SEC Offensive Player of the Week for their play against Tepper's defense?
One thing that's rarely mentioned is the loss of Mason Taylor as a reliable outlet.
Whatever happened to Joe Brady's goal of 10,000 catches over the summer, for a receiver? Virtually eliminated drops in 2019.

re: NIL era coaches contract

There's a market for the top head coaches. Most have several schools they can pick from. You either pay according to the market, or you settle for less. If you settle for less, you may get lucky; but don't expect to play hardball with a top-level head coach and his agent.
Kelly is a victim of his own BS, and of the BS surrounding his hire; that he came to compete against the best; that he would have more resources at his disposal than at Notre Dame; that a national championship would be the expectation; to wait to judge him until after his third year.

This is his fourth year, and he has yet to field a complete team. Is it misses and/or poor evaluation in recruiting? Subpar player development? The failure to instill an atmosphere of toughness surrounding the team? The failure to hire competent assistants; other reasons or all of the above?
The fans and the band should be the show—not piped in music. Let’s hear the band between plays with Tiger pep songs.

Game Day Mobile Phone Service

I am a long time season ticket holder, and it's frustrating that I can't call home to check in during the games. I have AT&T service, and it's non-existent in and around the stadium.

What companies offer the best service in and around the stadium? How is T-Mobile, for example?
How about the new run game coordinator? Wasn't he supposed to improve our rushing attack?
Surprised me. He was impressive tonight!

Check out YouTube to see if it's free there.
Easy choice--418. 411 puts you in the sun, much too close to the visiting fans/band. We sat near there for the afternoon Tennessee debacle. Never again! Roasted and overdosed on Rocky Top.
If seats are available in the SW corner, many of them are in the shade for afternoon games.
Makes a big difference. The fans in the South end zone are the most loyal in the stadium.

Not a problem here, although occasionally the app requires you to log in with your provider again, a minor aggravation.
Burrow is a much better QB. Hurts has a far better supporting cast.
If you’d like a little cooler weather at the end of the summer, drive the winding mountain roads to Cashiers and Highlands, NC. Beautiful hiking trails, vistas and waterfalls. Welcome relief toward the end of a long, hot summer!

Early Enrollees

Do we know who the early enrollees will be among our high school signees, as well as our transferees from the portal?
My wife and I are retired, and we spend two months each year in our RV. We have a 33' fifth wheel with 3 slides that's plenty enough room for the two of us. Our tow vehicle is a 3/4 ton Ford Super Duty that is a great tow vehicle. We just surpassed 125,000 miles, having towed from Louisiana to South Dakota and Yellowstone, to Nashville and Canton, Ohio, and multiple trips to the Asheville and Atlanta areas. The Super Duty has never failed us.

Having said all of that, I can imagine that we would feel cramped, even with a larger RV, with two young children added to the mix. While the children would have the opportunity to witness some remarkable travel experiences, I would be most concerned about the absence (for the most part) of normal
socialization opportunities with children their ages.
One of the most enjoyable games I've ever attended. The Tigers' first half performance was like watching a video game!
