Does trolly ND deserve a little credit? No, Bama literally took their foot off the gas against ND. I think Saban respects ND and never felt threatened. Coaching at MSU, I'm sure Nick had no problems stepping on the buckeyes throats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artesian_86 Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 I guess in a very small way I am going to throw Ohio St. a bone.....but ONLY for the sake of the BIGTEN & IU. I just had one of those what if moments. It's obvious the Tide is a superior team, with superior talent, as always. Alabama's season ended, playing 13 games and a N. C. and the Bucks finished with 8 and (not even close- runner ups). That is a 5 game difference OR advantage, however you want to take it. Had the BIGTEN started the season like the SEC, would it meant more games, or more cancelations? We will never know. Hind site is always 20/20, but the BIGTEN brass bungled the handling of our football season. Before the National Championship game, Alabama benefited from playing 12 games and Ohio St. just won their 7th game. In conclusion, any team playing 5 more games than their opponent should have an advantage. If not talent, but experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarkisian and Smith wore that pour OSU defense out. Without the help of Sermon to gobble up yards and extend drives, keeping Bama O off the field, it was over. This is the same OSU defense that gave the supposed best quarterback prospect since Peyton Manning one of his worst performances, just one week ago. That and Fields playing through pain. It would have taken perfect circumstances and perfect performance to beat that Bama team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Looks like Tennessee found the goods they needed. Jeremy Pruitt to be relieved of his duties today. No doubt the search committee can handle it better this time around. Doesn't carry the same weight as 20+ years ago but still a very attractive job. Can't wait to see who they get this time around.

I would imagine this year's LOI's aren't worth the paper they're printed on once a coach leaves? With the NCAA allowing one time transfers for kids already on campus, and the NCAA usually allowing kids out of commitments when a coach leaves, I would guess it is open season on Tennessee recruits. Same with other schools who lost coaches. I wouldn't have any issue with trying to poach a few guys who are already committed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally Allen's name would be in conversation for a job like this but I think word is spreading how happy he is in Bloomington. Not saying there won't be opportunities down the road if we continue our trajectory... but I genuinely believe Coach Allen is here for several years. Of course all of that takes $ and the biggest way to do our part is ticket sales. Hopefully each and every game next year is sold out. No questions asked. When I first started attending IU football games in late 80's it was always sold out. No reason we can't do that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the part I saw. Fulmer saying recruiting is good....at a press conference for firing their head coach for recruiting violations was pretty funny. Secondly...Freeze and his baggage won't be on Rocky Top anytime. As Btown said Fickell....or Chadwell is the hot name. What they need to do down there is shake up the way things have been. Schools like Michigan, Texas, Tennessee, UCLA, Nebraska, Florida St.....should never have the seasons they had ever....let alone collectively. Of course we know what that feels like on the hoops side of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think another reason for CTA not going to UT(hypothetically) is because the NCAA is about slam the hammer on UT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierfan1901 Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 From what I have found so far: -Allegedly they filled McDonald’s bags full of cash on visits, had money men throwing cash in bags when recruits arrived -Pruitt’s Lawyer is claiming that Tennessee is making Pruitt look negative so they don’t have to pay the 20 million buyout on Pruitt. Said there was a lot of irregularities before he was fired, like the UT President didn’t see the evidence and that they fired him during the investigation. Which in Pruitt’s case, saying the firing was premature since there isn’t too much evidence saying Pruitt was directly involved. -Kevin Steele may be given a chance to be the HC for this upcoming season -Expect a death hammer on Tennessee soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billingsley99 Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Listening to Scott Drew on DD did not realize his team was #4 offense and #1 defense. 5 Big 12 teams in top 10 in defense. Pretty impressive. I guess you can be great at both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
