1. Vols take offense and believe Pat Forde is taking shots at them in article where he lays out how the SEC office made the 2024 schedules.
Excerpt from Pat's article that has them all fired up:
"Without publicizing a specific breakdown, the league is operating on an eight-team “A” list of more successful teams and an eight-team “B” list. The SEC neatly divided every team’s schedule into four “A” games and four “B” games, two apiece at home and two apiece on the road. It’s airtight (though still subject to debate, of course).
The As: Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M.
The Bs: Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Missouri, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vanderbilt.
The Vol reaction to a factual statement.
"The truth about Tennessee football is an insult to Tennessee Football Vol: Clown!! Pat “The Clown” Forde is at it again. Man that guy is butt hurt.
"We labeled a decent man an enabler of sexual predators. So what?" Vol: I will give my opinion in this: I believe he must be a Schiano fan who is angry over that deal. Being linked with Sandusky is not a good look, and we all know the media can spin whatever narrative they choose. Did he know about it, did he not know? we may never know the real answer to that question. The fans are the ones who pay for tickets, concessions, contribute to the Vol funds, make large donations to the university. I don't believe it had anything to do with whether or not he could win in the SEC. It was all related to the Sandusky problem.
"How dare he report facts!!! Cancel him!" Vol: He’s a miffed talking head who got sideways when we didn’t accept what was being shoved down our throats. Continuing progress and ghosting him is the way.
2. Gumps believe that since they lost two games and did not play the national champs, the 2022 title is suspect.
"If a Gump shites away two games, is there a legit national champ?" Gump:
hey we beat TCU for the title. KSU says hello… last years CFP was a complete break down so back to back titles is a real joke… kudos for 2021 they won it on the field…. But last years was gift wrapped by the CFP… but hey congrats SB on the fourth round pick… it probably has happened but has a NT winner ever went so low?
RTR!

3. Florida can't get over one flip without another happening.
Pre Flip post when finding out Simmons was reclassifying to 2023:
"My new GF just inherited a fortune. Bye bye b****" Gator: I love this kids tape. It may also be why Lagway is possibly visiting Clemson.
"Billy playing chess" Gator: This has been the plan the whole time after the Rashada debacle and lack of traction in the portal. Shouldn’t be news.
Don’t think Lagway leaves. He committed after the Rashada commit and was fine with that. Now if Simmons gets PT at the end of the season and balls out, then he may dip out.
"The UGA negative bump" Gator: He'll be downgraded no doubt because he isn't going to Georgia.
"The jinx" Gator: In before we find out he did reclassify but uf wouldn't accept some of his homeschool credits and he signed with ole miss.
And then the hammer fell.
"Gator Bob sucks" Gator: Every time one of our insider’s tries to break news on something, it not only doesn’t happen but seems to almost go the exact opposite and burn us. Undoubtedly there are bigger issues and the problems are so deep we may not be able to recover from them. But I can’t think of a single UF media, insider, etc. that isn’t a complete embarrassment. It’s like they almost turn kids and their families off with their stupidity. Napier needs to address this.
The Edge Gator: I say this without the slightest hint of sarcasm as I’ve sadly become emotionally numb: this program has become a f****** embarrassment. I think it’s very clear that Simmons wanted to reclassify from the get-go but admissions is blocking it as they’ve done many times before. Napier, or any coach, doesn’t stand a chance of bringing us back.
Doesn't remember he's not as good as Vandy Gator: It’s clear that’s where we’re headed and no one gives two effs. We’ve decided that academic excellence and athletic excellence are mutually exclusive and our quest is to become Vandy.
Red pill Gator: Yes. I know I know, makes zero sense bc we all know that kids only go where there's no depth and if they don't sign with us it's bc they're scared of competition and can't handle the pressure of UF and we didn't want them anyway and, well, whatever other sht we can throw against the wall.
"Under is easy money" Gator: Bottom is 5.5 wins this year and 3.5 next year, it’s only going to continue getting worse
Patriarchal Gator: Yeah, I agree. One of the things that our staff has been focusing on is building the relationship with mothers. What we have found out is that really is the relationship with fathers. We got burned with Harold Perkins and now we’ve been burned with this.
Knoxville South Gator: I don’t know if it’s the admin handcuffing Billy, his pass unfriendly offense, the sabotaging media, or what…..but we have become what Tennessee has been since Fulmer left, and I’m not sure there is any way back. Billy was brought in to land the top players to compete with UGA and Bama and he is failing in that regard.
Doyle Hargraves Gator: Sun Belt Billy doing that has got to be one of the douche-e-ist recruiting ideas I’ve ever seen. This clown is in wayyyyyyy over his head. The sooner we acknowledge & fix this mess, the better off we’ll be. Ahhh, maybe not. We’d probably just hire some other lightweight to replace him.
Billy playing checkers on a chess board: Looks like Billy has to get backdoored fifty times before realizing what he’s doing is failing miserably. He can start by telling prospects to not commit if they are visiting elsewhere . The nonstop trolling is a ducking embarrassment and unacceptable. Anybody remotely competitive would be breaking **** or flipping over tables right now .Especially for a guy who was hired in large part due to recruiting. Best as I can tell we don’t have a single man in the AD office or at head ball coach.
"Mmmm..mmm French fried taters Gator:
How long before Lagway switches to Clemson? Not a matter of if but when at this point.
The only thing Karl can close is a case of potted meat.
