There's some rumors out there that UNC stole signals last week, and it's why Richt had words with Fedora post-game.

I never understood this. If you think your signals are being stolen, come up with different signals. I mean poo poo most of the players carry an encyclopedia on their wrist.

They can definitely afford it. Tennessee athletics makes a shitton of money and our biggest booster (Haslam) is worth billions. My guess is they're waiting to have the new guy ready before they announce Butch's firing. Or their looking for a way to reduce the buyout. Affording it isn't the issue.

There's not any 16-17 numbers yet but UT reported surplus earnings of over 13 million in '14-'15 and 12 million in '15-'17 - that's the athletics department as a whole.

In 2015 Forbes rated Tennessee #3 behind Notre Dame and Texas as most valuable football team.

Holy hell, why do they make so much?

I know Miami has some injuries but it did seem unusually close between them and UNC, who is giga-rear end.

If you are doing signals that can easily be tied to plays, it isn’t the other team’s fault they took notes.

A lot of that was probably sales from new Nike apparel when they switched from Adidas but Tennessee has generally done pretty well overall.

We use a shield during the game, so they had someone placed specifically to look at it. Richt was covering his mouth in the second half, and one of our backup QBs started standing in front of him as well.

Still, change the signals.

CSU is fine but they're definitely not "really good." Same with Fresno, who is way better than anyone could have reasonably expected but also just lost to UNLV. The Mountain West is pretty bad right now.

Clemson - Kent State, Auburn, Citadel

I'll be interested to see how Miami does against VT this weekend. This is entirely the type of game UGA couldn't win over the last part of his tenure in Athens. We'll see if heading south really made any difference.

So that'd be what... ISU winning out and having 2 loss champs out of most conferences (and probably a bad Notre Dame loss) plus Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and TCU only losing to each other?

Nice deflection, but the argument was that somehow Bama couldn’t help that they didn’t have a tough schedule when they absolutely can.

Absolutely zero, unless an App State happens. The pollsters don't give a poo poo otherwise. It's is why the conferences are requiring their teams to play at least one other OOC P5 team every year.

What I don't understand is why, when I was 25 and could drink for 24 hours straight, every game was played at noon. Now I'm pushing 50 and we had to sleep in the RV in the tailgate lot because we were all too sleepy to drive home in spite of the fact that I drank coffee in the third quarter of a 7:30 kick off.......get off my lawn and give me some noon kick's with a 3:30 now and then to spice things up.

The SEC is pretty bad this year. You've got Alabama and Georgia, two legit title contenders. You've got some quality teams in Auburn and Mississippi State. LSU is ???

Everyone else is a dumpster fire.

Most conferences have a sizable middle class of some sort. Instead, the SEC has a bunch of bad teams beating up on each other, plus some good teams beating up on them too.
