Spittin facts. The slow developing counters drive me crazy. When lining up the heavys it looks like we would have a play drawn up to dump a pass of to a TE. Your right. Everyone knew what was coming

Sad day to be a Tiger. As soon as I saw CK was out, I thought we would probably lose again, based on the “strength” of our backup QB. Except I didn’t think it would be the DEFENSE’S fault! CV did enough to keep us in the game and put up some big time throws. We could’ve won this game, if only the defense held up their end. It’s like they threw the game and didn’t try when they found out CK was out. What is up with our team?? Where is the heart; where is the creativity; where is the freaking run game; where is our pride? We truly are a long, long way from the teams of old, who would impose their will on other teams, especially AT HOME! About the only one I see ballin’ on this team is Wesco. But he can’t do it all.

Unfortunately, that ship has sailed. We are never going to pry BV away from the promised land of the SEC, at a blue chip program, for a school in an area of the country where he’s from. OU won the lottery with Jimmy Greenbeans, to Clemson’s detriment. I mean, Tom doesn’t even have a “get back” coach!

Well, tough loss for sure. The better team won. Hopefully with next week off the Tigers can regroup and made a winning run to the end of the year.
I will say more things are becoming evident on the troubles but I will still let the year play out before making comment.
Can't win 'em all. Until the next game,
GO TIGERS

Dabo has just gotten too comfortable. 17 years living in a warm multi million dollar bubble surrounded by friends and family has destroyed his sense of reality.

Time for a hard reset! Dabo, gtow a pair and eother quit or be a man and fire the coaches, begonning with Allen, that need to go. Bench the overpaid, fat and slow spoiled babies on both lines and find someone who wants to plsy. Cade, thank you, you have done an admirable job but its now CV's turn with the young guys for a 5 game preseason for next year. If we can generate EVEN an AVERAGE Ol you and the returning backs and WR can roll.

He's asked some tough questions before but David is smart enough to understand it would serve no purpose. Dabo knows what he's looking at. I'm quite sure that David and other press will ask the appropriate questions after the season.
Dabo said last week he's not thinking about next year. So he's well aware of what's being posted on T-Net. Dabo's heard it in private.

It did not seem like a rally in the valley today. The article is pretty accurate. I know all of our fans want to be “All In”, on the “ROY bus”, and “Bringing Our Own Guts”, but truthfully, and we know it because we see it and we don’t WANT it to be true, but we are on a downside from being elite. It started with DJ and all the time Dabo gave him to continue to be terrible. Then Cade was supposed to be the next Trevor…not so much. We’ve had Russian roulette with coaching staff and it just feels like a sinking boat that Dabo is trying to bail to save. That time is passed. We lived in mediocrity for decades and then we could see the greatness that began in the 2010’s and we rode that seeet wave to two national titles and gobs of ACC Champuonships. That time is also passed. I don’t know what the right answer is here. Maybe they need to force Dabo to pull from the portal instead of bringing unprepared kids that he wants to mentor along. There’s nothing wrong with mentoring until it’s not helping anymore and you cut your losses, but more than that, they need to teach first string to the water boy to be ready to go when someone is hurt. The backup QB’s should be able to step right back in and keep going.

"You can't live in last year's house"
Than is a direct quote from Dabo and yet he always wants to talk about how successful the program has been in the past.
Going to win again? Do not see it this year. Maybe the Furman game.

I would LOVE to hear David
Hood's real comments about
this game. But, Dabo would
probably not let David close
to the locker room the rest
of the season.

Every other program in America would make a change. Dabo didn’t earn a lifetime contract with those natty’s. His time has passed. Thank you for all you’ve done…lets put up a statue at the top of the hill…but let someone who “gets” 2025 college football take over.
