They really dont. If you were reading the Game thread on reddit last night and not watching the game youd think Tua turned the ball over on every 3rd down possession after throwing the ball into the dirt on first and second down.

Tua really wasnt the problem tonight. But if youre the QB and youre getting paid $50million plus, youre getting the heat.

He certainly hasn't played great either. He's only about 75% of the player he was before the hip injury.
That was pretty interesting. Wonder what that full context was.
frick

He's horrendous

Then again, the only good SEC head ref is someone we cant get because he played at Bama.

Knowing Oats did everything he could to land this kid and because UK comes in a couple days before his commitment with an offer 3x ours it all meant nothing


Yeap and I think it means we lose Oats unless the new settlement deal really does work to slow down NIL spending outside of the school's pool.

He's too competitive to be stuck losing due to a factor he cant control.

I know the school would never let the football team take any kind of reduction, but just a little bit of football resources with a coach like Oats would mean multiple national titles.
Love hearing the production side. So much more goes into this than we as fans realize.

best defensive lineman and linebackers in our program's history during that time.


2015 and 2016 were the 2 most talented defensive lines in CFB history. There's no one else in the discussion. Both teams ran DEEP with future longterm NFL starters, multiple pro-bowlers/all-pros.

Those 2 teams had exactly 1 holding called on their opponents in the 30 games they played

frick that fat frick. That last 30 seconds was pathetic from that fatass. fricking jackass. Could have gotten someone from his team or Bama hurt. fricking loser arse bitch.
The Cricket will be for sale soon. Bought a Vulcain gf buckle to go with it. Its a 38mm, 40 with crown, very 70s style. Keeping great time, been my alarm the last 2 mornings. Same watch on Chrono24 is $1900, but ill probably sell it under $800. Pass the good deal on to someone else, lol.

Already sold the JLC and Geneve.

I wanted to keep them all, but need to fix my car and pay for the Zodiac service. Gonna keep the Seamaster though. Apparently that band is hyper rare, one of my friends who only collects Omega said in 30 years of collecting he's seen less than 5 of them. And when am I going to buy another one for under $40? :lol:

That was an excellent trade. Black or silver dial? I think those have Schild movements in them.


Black dial. Cosmetically, the condition is probably an 8 out of 10, ish. It is the A Schild 1402N.

The Omega I traded was recently serviced, and did have the original beads of rice in 14k GF. But I got it for an incredible price, and never imagined I could turn into a grail watch.

I made that trade last Thursday. Monday I walked into a jewelers in downtown Charleston and talked with their watchmaker. He handed $2500 in watches and told me to pay him $390. Got a pre-62 Omega Seamaster Auto with the 2 tone beads of rice(worth $350 alone), a 70s Omega Geneve(the PRX looking one), A 1951(first year of production) JLC Wrist Alarm, a jumbo Vulcain Cricket in 38mm, A Helbros military with fixed lugs, a 1944 Euro market Vulcain Grand Prix, and a couple more odds and ends. I felt like a 12yr old again when he told me the number he would do for me. Was practically jumping up and down.

I have had a GREAT 1.5 weeks as a collecter.
Thats awesome! Those Cameron's are definitely one of the dreams

got one of my holy grail watches this week! A Zodiac Triple Date Moonphase from the late 50s/early60s. Traded an Omega Seamaster DeVille id paid $250 on for a $2000 watch. Need to get it serviced, but I have it!
Sherrell always seems to have lower body injuries that are hampering his movement. He was sitting on the bench icing his knee for most of the second half last night.

that got me more excited than anything I've heard about the team since Philon announced he was coming back.

if Hannah is that good a defender, this team will be so much better than many were thinking it would be. Because that comparison is crazy. Herb walked into the NBA and was instantly a top 10 defender in the league. Hannah in the same breath is extraordinarily high praise. Because we have had some decent individual defenders since Herb.

top 15 team, but a little thin on depth at C and PF. Have a lot of athletic length this year though. If we can stay healthy should be a top 3-5 team in league.

The old dudes will try to justify some old Nebraska team or something, but every major advanced analytics model has that 2019 LSU team top 3 all time.

You have a Heisman NFL All-Pro QB, the two best WRs in the NFL, an AA RB and a bunch of other NFL draft picks scattered in there.

The best defense we played was 2011 LSU and the best team was 2019 LSU.

That said with a healthy Tua we beat LSU in 2019.



I do think 2018 Clemson belongs in that discussion. That team had NFL talent all over the fricking place.
