It’s about TV. Has always been about TV. TV Is why the sport has “declined” in to what it is now.
TV and gambling power these things.
As long as a dude will lay down $50 on Arkansas State to cover 7 on Northern Iowa, things won’t change.
My dad used to tell me TV is going to ruin sports
At 52, I now understand.

Sanford is good. Athens is a great college town (I lived there for 3 yrs). A lot of things to do.
Jordan Hare is fun. Cool little southern campus. Folks there have always been nice to me, win or lose
Neyland looks great but I went to that monsoon game in 2018. Also, they sucked. Didn’t get to really feel a large Vol crowd. Nice campus. Cool to go down and see the Vol navy come in. Calhoun’s on the river is a great place to hang. We took over and literally drank them out of Jack, bean, turkey, and southern comfort.
Commodore is fun because tickets are (were) easy to get. Nashville is fun but getting a bit out of hand.
I’ve been told to make a trip to Lexington. Someone who grew up there told me “it’s Nashville before Nashville got to be too much”.
Of course, Death Valley trumps all.
I need to hit more away venues.

I love JB. My second favorite Tiger of all time. He seems so apathetic at times. About anything. I guess his real joy is just playing. His mic’d up moments are great, but he’s as stimulating as salad bar with media.

I’m an average, middle aged dude that played football through high school. Watched a lot of it and feel that I have a pretty strong (amateur) understanding of the game. I can pick up on trends and identities fairly quickly. Other tiger fans are, for the most part, pretty knowledgeable as a fan base. We’ve seen everything from Curly Hallman to 2019. To receive 5 interceptions (at home) and come up with 13 pts is an issue. We saw it. The press saw it. To call us “spoiled” was such egotistical and dismissive move on his part. We saw the issue from a mile away. F that guy.

I will never understand not signing with a school because of a position coach leaving/being fired when he doesn’t even coach your position. We just made the best hire (on paper) with the #1 sought after coaching commodity in the market. Shows we’re willing to do anything to get the brand back to excellence. Everyone else is on board. Why not you?

As long as we keep paying rising ticket and parking prices, this runaway train won’t stop. Couple that with TV revenues, expanding conferences, expanding playoffs and this is what you get AAA NFL.
Pay all student athletes the same. Open the portal one time- after the season. 1
Week. Before national signing day. The ONLY national signing day. Must stay at a school minimum 2 years and you get 1 transfer.
