    Here's the thing though - Pruitt is going to win at Tennessee and is a better fit than damned near every other coach mentioned in the above article of insanity. It helps, of course, that Pruitt is going to cheat his fucking ass off, but he'll win nonetheless. They're signing JUCOs to fill gaps and then they're going to cast a wide net on recruits and play the SEC game. They basically self-induced swimming through a river a shit to come out smelling like a rose.

     

    Pruitt will be okay, but he's not going to turn that program around overnight, even with some good JUCO signees.  There's just too much regional competition (Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Clemson, Florida) for high school recruits for a program that's been in the shitter for so long.  As much as it pains me to say it, Georgia is going to dominate the SEC East for at least a couple of years (hopefully, Florida will rise up again to take them down).

  2. I keep my phones as long as I can - I'm still using a Galaxy S5.  I would love a Pixel 2, but I have reservations about not being able to replace the battery and not being able to swamp in a bigger microSD card. 

  3. As a Gator fan, I look on Tennessee as a once-great rival, reduced to nothing more than a has-been program that can't seem to get out of its own way.  Vol fans are so delusional, year-in and year-out, it's sad and comical.

    I still get a toasty feeling inside when I learn that Florida snatched Mullen out from under them, however:

    Interestingly, Currie and Schiano swapped only three messages the night of Nov. 26, also known as the infamous "Schiano Sunday" when the hire was torpedoed by intense public and private resistance.

    Currie's first contact was with Mullen. Clint Dowdle, who works for agency CAA Sports, told Currie on the night of Nov. 22 that Mullen wanted to set a time to talk to Currie two days later, the Friday morning after Mississippi State's regular-season finale against Ole Miss on Thanksgiving night.

    Currie first contacted Mullen early that Friday morning.

    Just before noon on Saturday, Nov. 25, Mullen messaged Currie: "Good luck today. Talked with Peyton last night. Look forward to seeing you tomorrow."

    According to the messages, Currie told Dowdle to sent Mullen a memorandum of understanding, and the two appeared to have contact scheduled for 11 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 26, but his last message to Mullen on the night of Nov. 25 -- "So tomorrow work?" -- went unanswered.

    Mullen was hired on Florida's coach that Sunday.
