Re: SEC Football Discussion Thread

I know we get jaded with dudes like Mathieu and hiring and firing million dollar coaches and alleged shady recruiting, but there's plenty of great kids playing this game. Every team has kids like this, but here's a lil piece about the guy who's on "my" team that make putting up with hearing about all the other BS worth it:

Players like Stacy are kind of what makes college football still worth watching.

Auburn has a guy, Ashton Richardson who went from walk on to scholarship athlete who is #2 on the LBer depth chart and has just been announced as a Rhodes Scholar finalist.

Re: SEC Football Discussion Thread

OK... Back to million dollar coaches... Can UT get (or would they want) John Gruden?

Its probably the most likely job that would entice Gruden to the college ranks. I think they'd pounce if they can afford him.

I know he's got a few Tennessee ties, but you don't think he'd go for either Arkansas or Auburn?

I think if Tennessee wants him bad enough, they will get him. Auburn would be a second choice but the money would have to be right and Auburn would have to go for him. I don't think he'd go to Arkansas.

Re: SEC Football Discussion Thread

There is just no way that the Vols should be 0-5 in the SEC....and this is becoming a trend. If the Vols want Gruden, I think they'll find a way....

Here's some intrigue:

Re: SEC Football Discussion Thread

Couple of of posters on other football boards are saying the Lattimore injury reminds them of the Theisman injure. His kneecap is sitting on the outside of his right leg while the leg itself is straight. You could tell Marcus was going into shock.

The JT one was worse to watch because the camera caught Lawrence Taylor unobstructed while Lattimore's was mostly blocked by tacklers.

Broken femur and all knee ligaments torn for Lattimore is what I'm reading. Horrible if true. That's not your "routine" ACL type rehab. He's going to have a hard road ahead.

(when I say routine I am not trying to poo poo it, but it's pretty much a 100% return to form rate these days)

Re: SEC Football Discussion Thread

That Lattimore injury was horrific. I'm no doctor but if the reports coming out are true, I just hope he can recover and spend the rest of his life walking normally without pain.

Where would Willis McGehee's knee injury fall in comparision? I know he spent about a year rehabbing after he was drafted but his was pretty bad wasn't it?

Don't think Willis had any femur damage, just ACL/MCL/PCL.
