Buzzer beaters

I think it’s a little better question to ask how this ranks among buzzer beating wins.

I’m a post Goheen fan, so this is number one, ahead of the Lawson over Louisville shot.

Re: Tennessee in trouble

About passing up the dunk.....I would speculate that the last thing the UTK coach said before sending them back on the floor was "Whatever you do, don't shoot the ball...make them foul." How many times have you seen that last "unmissable" dunk or layup get missed in the last sec...

Re: SOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad to have been wrong...

I did not get to see the game, but listened to the last 2 minutes on the SEC radio (which was UT announcers). At the end the color guy said "it was after the horn, it was after the horn, it was after the horn." Regular guy says "they will look at it," and the color guy in a very...

Re: Stadium naming rights sold

I still can’t believe they called a press conference for this. I saw there was a press conference about Vandy United, figured a big facilities announcement was coming, and instead got to hear about some bank. I want my ten minutes back AD Lee!

Different game, different win. 2013 was at home and on CBS, and 2016 it was in Athens on SEC Network.
Clearly we own UGA. :D

Re: Closest comparison: 94 Dores

That’s an interesting comparison. We really didn’t have much of a passing game under Dinardo, but that I-bone offense was designed to wear teams down. We had some terrific individual players on that defense (some of the players you mentioned are all-timers), but we always struggled with D line depth...

I’m struggling with how to watch this also. I’m guessing that the game is being streamed also and there is a single game option on Paramount?

Re: Recruiting tidbits

I taught 3 years at MSU in the 90s. Starkville is a very nice, quiet, out-of-the-way little town. As college towns go, it's very laid back and the townspeople and students are quite respectful. Aside from some fan's behavior in Omaha in 2021, State people/fan's are actually very nice. And I wonder ...

Re: Michigan coach and former VU asst Erik Bakich takes Clemson job

Good for Bakich. Not good for the sport of college baseball. The Big Ten remains the one major conference that is just not that interested in baseball. And the same can be said for the Midwest in general. No one even thinks about college baseball around the Midwest.

Re: duke basketball....

CJ Stroud, the tOSU QB, just got a Bentley. Legally.

By comparison, Eric Dickerson, who I consider one of the all time greats, “only” got a gold Trans Am from SMU.

UGA is a worse job than Fla. So that pretty much tells you he didn’t feel like he would keep the UF job long.

Re: Can't ask for much of a better start than that

If we do indeed have pitching depth, that would be tremendous. Last year we obviously had unbelievable top end performance, but if you really look at it Corbs only completely trusted about 5 or so pitchers.
