The thing with Tennessee is every year we actually do have a chance to win with the talent we have, even though some of the coaches seem to be the best at wasting potential NFl talent year in and year out. I mean, Tennessee is the winningest program in the modern football era (1926-now), so I guess we do have a reason to think the way we do. <_<

Tennessee seems to always find a way to lose a game that talent would dictate a win, but alas it is a loss. Today, you must be able to win the early game against Florida to win the national championship. Tennessee may survive the SEC and still make it to that championship game (mostly because Florida typically gets beaten when they should not also), but by that time of the year (SEC championship game) it is too late to be in the hunt for the national championship with the one or two losses Tennessee seems to put up every year.

That's why the NCAA needs to have a play-off system like basketball and other sports do. Losing the first game of the year shouldn't cost a team a chance to play for the National Championship. Some teams go undefeated and still don't have a chance to play in the title game. Auburn last year is a prime example.

Actually in the BCS system it is better to lose a game early in the season rather than losing a game in the last couple of games. So Tennessee is in better position for the national championship now then they would be if they would have lost a game in November.

Very true, but how many teams has ever played in the BCS NC with a loss? I can think of one right off, FSU against UT in 98!

FSU in 98

FSU in 00

Nebraksa in 01

LSU and OU in 03

 

FSU made it in front of another one-loss Miami team that had beaten FSU earlier that year.

 

Nebraska lost their last regular season game against Colorado and didn't even play in the Big 12 title game and OU got drumed by K-State in the Big 12 title game and still both made it.

 

Go figure.

      Problem with DB football goes beyond coaching. Like Waco said. Thr band is the main focus of their community and school. They have the resources to be a championship level team. Guarantee Ballard or Witten could have them nationally relevant at some point but everyone down to peewee would have to buy in and at DB we all know that would never happen.

      I know the RB from OR he’s fast and has good hands. Is good on special teams also. Didn’t want to play defense over to the Ridge.

      Clinton Problems

      By SheriffofRedRock · Posted

      5star put out and article about the QB competition for Clinton like they have 9 other schools. They listed a QB that was previously on Powell’s roster last year. He was the Frosh that could throw great wearing number 5. He was not mentioned as a transfer.  HC was quoted in getting two running back transfers one being from OR that has been mentioned on these boards as well as another from TKA.  I had heard about these and more transfers. It is impressive that Clinton is able to steal away from the recruiter at Powell.  I wonder if the issue with the principal will change that or open the gates even more.
