I have to think this season has been a financial windfall for the university and this, plus more willing donors, would be very happy to make significant contributions to the coaches' bank accounts.
Because people possess political biases and persuasions that can affect their overall opinion of an individual. And folks should compartmentalize whatever they may think (positively, negatively, or indifference) of both his previous life as a politician/local celebrity entrepreneur and any potential future political/business aspirations with his service to our University.
*if* we're going to lose one, the UGA game is the one to do it. .. let UGA take on bama in the seccg and beat them for their 2nd loss. SEC puts an undefeated team and a 1-loss media darling in the playoffs. ... and, quite frankly, that's the exact same scenario for UGA. The loser of this game is going to end up #3 or #4 at the end of the day... depending maybe on the closeness of the score. Winner plays Bama in the SECCG and loses, and that's that three, 1-loss teams scenario that I don't be liking very much. that said, i do like the notion of just winning out.
But you said if you can set aside as if you are assuming that has any impact at all. It shouldn’t and if it shouldn’t then no need to mention.
No, it shouldn’t matter. Perhaps it could for others. Hence me mentioning, briefly. By far the most unimportant part to the overall theme of my appreciation post of Boyd’s UT presidency
What we are seeing this year is the equivalent of Usain Bolt inviting everyone to a track meet. Good luck, kid. UGA's two best receiving threats are TE's.
Georgia opens as a 9-point favorite, which is the same as Alabama was three weeks ago (despite this one being a road game—that’s how much our perception has changed since then). We’re not likely to win, but that’s well into “Georgia is worried about us” territory. There’s absolutely a path to victory.
Tennessee received 3 million in anonymous donations during Bama week. I did a paper, in 2008, for a class that showed the economic impact of a good football team. It was over a million dollars a game then in revenue. Knoxville and UT have completely revamped since then, I imagine it's more. I can't remember the exact number of out of state applicants, but it was 5 figures when Tennessee was ranked in the top 25. Tennessee athletics, especially football, gives this University its personality
I argued daily with a professor about that. I told him, for better or for worse, more people knew about Tennessee because they beat Alabama at football instead of cancer research.
Definitely scared if he's telling fans to be loud. That's something that should not need to be said or brought attention to, it should be expected. I really hope WGWTFA.
