    Puzzies! Back in the '70's the team used BB guns and their own chemistry lab plastic safety glasses. And the whole campus was the "playing" field. Avoiding Campus police added a live action variable.

    According to 247 coaches handed out bags of cash instead of using bagmen. Doesnt bama give recruits cars? Never gonna win a war like that!

    There is still a non-zero chance that Pruitt was an Alabama plant used to get back at Fulmer and destroy the program even more.

    From what I hear, the 70s at UT were pretty wild

    80s werent tame when Dale Carter, Alvin Harper, Pickens, Reggie Cobb, etc were on campus. Pre cellphones, fortunately for everybody. They hung out with students quite a bit more then as well. Cant do that now without getting a picture taken and posted somewhere.

    Tennessee gave recruits cash in McDonald's bags. I thought Knoxville was Hardy's country.

    I was just glad that when I came back from the "Conflict" slide rules had been replaced with calculators.

    That’s why we got caught. Got sloppy. Didn’t want to pay for the Hardee’s breakfast and ordered off the Mcdollar menu instead.

    You know what’s tough is thinking about how rigged CFB is. Yeah we know everyone cheats, but it took obscene cheating 2007-2011 ish for Alabama to lay the foundation for what it has. Same for what Georgia is doing. And it just makes you so mad you can’t see straight. And the storyline is the people who do get caught just aren’t as smart. Yeah there’s a kernel of truth there, but the bigger factor is that nobody is watching them AND nobody will ever look unless they have to.

    And then for a second I think about how college football doesn’t really matter and it’s silly to let yourself get worked up over it. Problem with that is then I remember the world is a helluva lot more rigged and dishonest than CFB and I’m more pissed off. Ugh f**k 2020 and now 2021 too with a rusty shovel.

    it's one thing to know life ain't fair. it is quite another to have it stamped on your face with a boot. Obviously there are far worse fates in the world than that of an American college football fan from Tennessee, but [uck fay]ing hell.

    In the early days of Facebook and social media, Clemson commits were routinely posting pictures of themselves with stacks of cash on signing day. 10 years later, nothing but trophies and great times.
