So this is my first big game
without television service. Any tips/tricks for ESPN3? Seems to be doing fine now, but does it get tired?

I don’t have a problem with Alabama being here on merits, but I would prefer to be watching OSU/LSU right now.

But it’s just the thought of that passing attack against, well, either of these defenses.

I agree
Although, with the exception of Tennessee, all of my rooting interests seem to have something to do with how stuff will sell. Still fun, but different. But yeah, Okie State’s offense would have provided something different. Perhaps. Maybe they’d look as bad as Bama’s offense, though. Who knows?

marinate in an imperial stout for 24 hours
then slow cook in said stout.

Hmm.
Help a guy who rarely ever touches alcohol. What would be a good stout? Or is Imperial Stout the actual brand?

you really like the SA imperial stout?
Not a huge fan of SA… they even screwed up the Doppelbock. Then again, Old Fezziwig is awesome…
Sam Adams Boston Lager is my standby when there are no craft brews available.
I really like Old Fezziwig, too. It’s what their Winter Lager should be, imo.
I like some of the others, but nothing really overwhelms me from them.

I get many subtle clues that I would have made a fine British sailor back in the day.
Port is just one of those clues.
Isn't champagne just sparkling wine?
Or am I completely wrong about that?
I’ve never had it either way. It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s a lot different, haha.

Champagne is a sparkling wine that is only from a certain area in France

Funny story.
A friend and I went to Europe during college. Neither of us drank, but we went to on champagne cellar tour for the fun of it while we were in the area. At the end of the tour, they gave everybody a glass of their signature dry.
We couldn’t get past the first sip.
I've had it once... its pretty good.
We actually had it in my Volcanology class at ETSU for some “experiment” that I never understood the premise of.
I don't like all stouts
but I’m definitely a fan of a number of them. Duck Rabbit’s Milk Stout is pretty awesome.

it's a style of beer
basically any high alcohol (>8%) stout.
You could also make a NC style bbq sauce, slow cook the stout in the stout, then drain, chop up, and slow cook for another hour or two in the bbq sauce
basically any "normal" bbq sauce
with a little more vinegar. Try for tangy, sweet, bitter, spicy. Everything all at once… hard to explain
I don't think the stout quality is quite as important when using as a marinade
but I’m not 100% sure. and no, not a brand

Ok. I'll just find one then.
The Mrs. uses wines for cooking and I’ve had success with whites for fish, but not sure about heavier meats yet.
It's a style.
If you have any nearby liquor stores that sell beer, you could probably swing by and pick up a cheaper single bottle.

Is season it with salt, pepper, garlic, etc., slow cook it, break the meat apart, drown it in BBQ sauce.
I like falconnuke’s idea, too, though. I love cooking beef in a strong beer.

It's tenderloin if that helps.

on the subject of cooking meats in beer
I have some ground deer that I’m going to use to make deer chili (probably just with Carol Shelby’s mix because I’m lazy). thought I might throw some Winter Lager in it because I have some in the fridge and thought it might be good. Anyone have ideas on whether that will work?

Kinda pricey - $7ish / pound, IIRC.
$7ish for something, at least. I’m half-tempted to go to the source and get it for half that price, then stick a bunch in the deep freeze.

meh...
I’m in the same place as a lot of folks, the sheer idea of this game bores me.
I know they deserved a rematch, but man… I’d much rather watch any non SEC team in the top 10 play LSU.. Heck, I’d rather watch Houston play them.
The funny thing is, any kind of playdown would make a game like this even more likely.
It’s not that unpossible for a conference to have two teams in the top 4 or 8.
Thats a good point
But at least we wouldn’t have to listen to the “they don’t deserve to be there” complaints as much. (hopefully)
the funny thing
this was the first game in recent memory where, imo, the only two teams with any claim to the game are the two teams in it.
I can see that.
I have no problem with the argument for Okie State, honestly. They were no derpier at ISU than LSU was in Tuscaloosa; they just didn’t get as lucky.
gonna disagree here
Oklahoma State’s argument is as good as Alabama’s argument. Or at least very, very close.
If you think this is clear cut, what do you say about two years ago? More painfully obvious than you could ever imagine something could be?

I'll say,,,
that if I believed in soul selling, that game’s exactly what an Alabama fan selling his soul for an upset would look like.
I was utterly convinced...
that there was a cabal of Bama fans selling their souls for wins over UT when I was little.
The early 90s was a series of unexplainable Bama wins in the series.
Nope.
But it’s like having wild card teams make the Super Bowl. You’re getting the teams that were hot in January, not necessarily the ones that were hot in September through December. I have no problem with that, but it irks me to hear people talk about playoffs as a more fair way to find a #1 when they’re really talking about what they’ve seen during the regular season.

now, the other big-$$$ bowl game issues, that’s a completely different story. Especially with the bull that happens every year (VA Tech vs Michigan, while 1-loss Boise State plays 6-6 Arizona State)
and Arkansas and Kansas State and Michigan State and South Carolina
and Georgia and Oklahoma and Baylor (while we’re listing teams better than either VT or Michigan)

And about half the SEC that lost more games
especially since VT had one of the easiest schedules in the country
That too.
But fixing that would require taking the bowls out of the hands of the bowl committees and placing it in the hands of a central committee.
I'm just gonna say...
I was there for the National Championship, and it felt kind of empty. You kind of expect some great feeling, but once you’re there it’s kind of a letdown.
It’s nice and all, and the bragging rights for a year are great… but I honestly prefer the feeling of winning an SEC title to that of winning the NC.
I guess...
thats because at the end of it all, the NC celebration was really just a celebration of a win over Florida State since I’d celebrated all the other wins already. And its really hard to care about FSU, being a Tennessee fan.

and Bama...
may have not even shown up for their BCS game vs. a WVU or Clemson.
So we could end up with a perception of each team’s quality that is worlds different than what we’ll have after this one with no real change in the quality of the actual teams.
It’s amazing what one little difference can make.

Holy crap...
I thought that was a joke.
Don’t want to get too into politics, but he’s gonna get massacred.
LSU has apparently chosen a slow death
maybe this will at least bore Saban into moving onto a new challenge
Seriously...
change QBs LSU, if he hasn’t gotten it done in the first 3.5 quarters it’s not likely to change.
They almost crossed midfield
Then the force field forced him backwards.
I like Tennessee and Vanderbilt. There aren't many like me, and they're probably better off for it.
Holy offensive outburst, Batman!
I like Tennessee and Vanderbilt. There aren't many like me, and they're probably better off for it.
He's so scared of getting hit
it’s ridiculous.
Yeah, I don't think he understands the option
I like Tennessee and Vanderbilt. There aren't many like me, and they're probably better off for it.
it's not like that type of option works against Bama
if they had been using the read option or the one that Florida used during the national championship year with Tebow, maybe.
Jefferson has been atrocious
Jarrett Lee should have seen action tonight…unbelievable.
I like Tennessee and Vanderbilt. There aren't many like me, and they're probably better off for it.
This is frustating...
LSU has a perfectly competent backup and they refuse to use him in the most important game they could possibly play.
This is like some nightmare designed just for LSU fans

There is no joy in Baton Rouge, Casey Clausen does not play for the Tigers.

Nice to see a New Orleans team
Actually play a game with unbiased refs
oops, that might’ve been offensive….
And the Valley Shook...
is 10% fans mad at Les Miles for not playing Lee, and 90% fans bending over backwards to excuse Les Miles.
Please tell me everyone else sees that their offensive struggles are largely the result of Jefferson being terrible today.
Oh, yes.
But there’s no sense in expecting LSU fans to be unbiased about it. We wouldn’t be any better.

True...
We had fans ready to fire Fulmer after the 99 Florida game, and folks constantly excusing him for felonies committed by his players
and I'm not kidding...
I specifically remember taking a call in the 3Q of the 99 Florida game from a friend’s brother demanding Fulmer be fired.
so LSU's unnecessarily positive....
and we’re quick to be clamoring for someone to be fired?
Sounds about right, honestly.

So, been watching the game, but to ask it
Keeping Jordan Jefferson in the game all game long is the worst decision in the history of against-Alabama football dating back to not getting Lincoln a closer FG attempt, right?

Is there a scenario out there where going 10 days without a defensive coordinator this close to Signing Day is NOT a bad sign for Dooley and our program in general? Obviously none of us knows what is actually going on behind the scenes, and the school isn’t talking, so all we’re left with is speculation and message board innuendo, but am I wrong to think that our inability to hire someone within 10 days could be indicative of major problems for us?

On a related note, I was greatly amused by all the anti-SEC folk

I think the Colts would have had trouble moving the ball against Bama last night.

by David Hooper on Jan 10, 2012 10:12 AM EST up reply actions
But seriously
The only scenario that could explain the delay and not be a bad sign would be they are doing their due diligence on making sure Shannon doesn’t bring some NCAA baggage with him, but that doesn’t make sense either because the Miami investigation is still basically in its infancy (have they even received a LOI yet?) and I doubt anyone’s name can be cleared anytime soon.
I can’t think of any other plausible scenario that doesn’t involve basically everyone we ask turning us down (or Dooley and Hart being unable to agree – frankly, either situation is bad for the program, IMO). It’s just been too long a wait to explain it away with anything else.
Lou Brock loves Lamp.
Yeah, I don't know either.
If they were waiting to interview a Bama/LSU assistant, it would all make sense. Or perhaps some guy from an NFL playoff team who may or may not have lost this last weekend (though that’s less likely).
But the possibility that they’re completely blowing this one is certainly in play. It really didn’t help losing that Kentucky game, as our last image on the year is one of a bad loss, a missed bowl game, and a hot seat. I think it would be a lot easier to find replacement coaches if the team had bothered to win that game.
by David Hooper on Jan 10, 2012 11:08 AM EST up reply actions
Naturally losing to KY was a bad thing
But losing in embarrassing fashion to end the season can’t be the sole reason we seem unable to hire a DC. Teams lose games like that all the time.
But if your point is that coaches are reluctant to come here because word on the street is that Dooley is a dead man walking, well, that’s the “bad sign for the program” that I was talking about.
Lou Brock loves Lamp.
Yeah, that was my point.
The game itself wasn’t so much the problem as was the inevitable reaction to the loss – that UT fans are now upset. (Contrast to before Hunter’s injury, when we had dreams of 50 points/game every weekend.)

Well...
I don’t think the coaching candidates care what the fans think. I’m more worried that word is out in coaching circles that Dooley is already a lame duck, regardless of what happens next year.

I don’t think that’s the case, to be honest, but I can see the concern. I think that 8 wins would be enough to hang on for one more year, and I think that’s a lot easier in 2012 than 2011.
by David Hooper on Jan 10, 2012 12:40 PM EST up reply actions
Well, nobody knows what the case is
We just know that days keep passing without us hiring anyone. We’ve been blaming the recruits we’ve lost so far on things like grades, but I would think at some point not having a defensive coordinator during a crucial recruiting time will harm us. And now is not the time for Dooley to be punting a recruiting class.
Lou Brock loves Lamp.
Hart could certainly clear that up with any prospective coach
and back it up contractually, so I’m not sure that’s really an issue. That would be more of an issue with recruits.
Reality is that this has been done very quietly and we’re simply debating hearsay and shadows due to lack of anything from the AD. This is mostly a result of the 24/7, always on communication technologies moving at a pace that’s different than what the AD and HC coach are ready/willing to respond to.

I'm not debating anything
I’m just making an observation that going 2 weeks without a defensive coordinator during the heart of recruiting season is not a good sign. Dooley and Hart themselves have expressed that they wanted to make a hire quickly. The fact that they have not been able to do so would seem to be a bad thing, and not an illusion of perception created by the internet.

Defensive Coordinator Position
I am starting to get a little bit frustrated with the DC vacancy. Its not the time that bothers me because its only been a week its the things floating around that just make everything look like, in the words of Gunnery Sgt Highway, a Cluster*. Now all I can attest to is what I read on the boards and the internet and what I hear on the Sports Animal. A co-worker is a member of Volquest and apparently according to Volquest Hart likes Shannon and Dooley does not? Not sure if this is true but if it is I am a little concerned by this. Additionally he said that TN offered Phil Bennett from Baylor, (this being the same Baylor that allowed an average of like 40 points a game and gave up 56 to Washington) and he turned TN down. Now this is troublesome to me on so many levels if this is true. Next TN is no longer interested in Kevin Steele due to the Orange Bowl performance however I don’t see this as much worse than Baylor? At any rate the only other candidates I have read or heard about is Tommy Spangler, the DC at La Tech, Sal Sunseri, LBs coach at AL, and the Atlanta guy, VanGorder, that just accepted Auburns DC position. Now I realize Spangler is from La Tech and this would not be viewed very well by Vol fans and I am not sure I would be overly excited about it but aside from Shannon none of the other names appear to be better to me. At least Spangler has improved his teams Defense every year. Sunseri is a position coach and not sure he is even qualified to be a DC and Dooley does not have the time for a learning curve so to speak. Neither Steele nor Bennett inspire any sort of confidence with me, and it appears obvious Shannon isn’t coming because let’s face the contract negotiations could not possibly be that big of deal. So anyone here have any thoughts on our vacant DC position.
That story actually came from FL98
And like everything else I’ve read about the situation, I have no idea if any of it is true.
Lou Brock loves Lamp.
Which story
Which story came from FL98? And if TN truthfully offered the job to Bennett and he turned it down. I have at least two MAJOR concerns with this! First of all why would TN even consider this guy considering the record at Baylor, first year or Baylor’s Defense was mediocre even by BIg 12 standards, and second this guy actually turned TN down? Really this guy?
The Hart likes Shannon, Dooley does not
And the part about Bennett, I think. I believe the first place that stuff was mentioned was here: http://www.feelslike98.com/featured/where-we-are-and-how-we-got-there/01/09/2012/ but I could be wrong.
Lou Brock loves Lamp.
Thanks
All I know is what I read and hear like I said so I am not in the know. However the more I hear about being turned down the more I do not like it. I have been a Dooley supporter and continue to be however I am slightly
Yea
OK now I reading that Steele is out at Clemson and he is calling his recruits? My first reaction is I’d fire him for that showing on National TV too, then I realized he would not be calling recruits had he been fired? Now I am concerned!
At this point there's nothing to fear but fear itself.
We’re all just getting worked up about rumors and inuendos created by round the clock access to blogs and chat boards due to our impatience that the HC and AD refuse to conduct their search in full view of the public. We want the AD and the coach’s business to be a live reality show and when it’s not, we invent the content that gets us all worked up.
I'm not worked up by rumors
I could take or leave them. What has me worried is that we are now on Day 10 of our (official) defensive coordinator search, after Coach Dooley said at his press conference “the quicker the better” with the hire.
Lou Brock loves Lamp.
That story reeks...
of confirmation bias.
See, Dooley sucks and is an idiot… but Hart is a football genius.
Therefore, we’ll be better once Hart gets to hire his own coach and that moron Dooley hits the road.
It reminds me of the average fan’s opinion of every backup QB on every struggling team.
I find it hard for anyone to make the case this year
that Worley or Simms were better qb’s than Bray.
If I understood what you said correctly.
What I was saying...
is that believing that Hart is smart but being hamstrug by Dooley allows fans to believe that the team’s problems will be fixed as soon as Hart is in control and is able to hire his own coach. Aka, the fix will be fast and relatively painless because the problems are entirely the fault of someone we can get rid of immediately.
It’s equivalent to fans of a bad team that have convinced themselves that their savior is riding the bench. It allows them to retain some amount of hope.
If everyone believed that Hart was a moron, or that the bad team they pull for has no good QBs they’d be a lot more depressed.
And there was a sizable contingent of UT fans who were calling for Worley Bray just like there was a sizeable contingent calling for Crompton over Ainge back in 2007. Some folks are just miserable if UT isn’t perfect and will invent their own fantasy version of events to satisfy their desire to believe UT is always one change away from being a powerhouse again.
Ahh, ok.
I tend to not listen to the fans who are a missed pass away from panic at any given moment, so I assumed everyone realized that Bray was this year, by far, the best qb on the team.
Agree about your analysis of the “Dooley stupid, Hart smart!” attitude, though.
solid point
but Hart was a much more impressive hire than Dooley, so it’s not like there’s nothing backing up the “I trust Hart more than Dooley” sentiment
If I cared more about my UNC side, I'd call myself "Tar Volon," and that'd be awesome.
