Who here isn't still on a high? We freaking ended the regular season with a win. That's been done oh twice in the last 30 years.

Are you really that dumb? They get nearly a month of practice.

Maybe they should practiced the Monday after UofL and went hard for 3 weeks and burned all 15 practices they get and just rest the 2 weeks ahead of the game. SMH

That's not true. They use a portion of the 15 practices for the RS's and younger guys to get them some much needed reps, etc. and they will get after it.

Then after 7-9 practices of that they'll probably start working on GT.

I'm still on a high too. Just watched it again. I think I could watch that first shot of SJ smiling, on a loop.

Misconception? You do notice that you said THEY ARE PRACTICING TODAY, correct? And the game is on the 31st. Sooooooo, what is the misconception here coach?

I bet you would be surprised how "off" these kids are!They are only allowed 15 formal practices but there are lots of FB related things they are expected to do!

Need to build that confidence and believe in yourself to take that next step. When these guys believe in their coaches and trust the guy on their left and the guy on their right to do their job then we have as good as a chance as anybody to win the east next year.
Vandy will beat UT, Georgia and Florida every other year but we have such difficulty doing so. Vandy believes they can win and doesn't fold. When we show up to games with that same mindset and cast that monkey off our back then you will see the streak end and routine wins against those teams.

You couldn't be farther off of you tried. They are not going to waste 15 practices on a walk-through. They are going to use a good portion as a mini camp. Then they will start working on Tech. This is an opportunity these coaches and players have yet to have. They damn sure are not going to waste it.

And Ulismyman, in addition to completing finals, don't you think it was good to have the players nurse those nagging injuries after 12 games in a 14 week (or so) time period, or would have had them "getting after it," whilst still just a bit hobbled from a grinding regular season?

Stoops might not have a lot of Bowl practice experience in the last 4 years, but calm down . . . . he has lots and lots of relatives and close acquaintances that have and will advise him on this stuff.

Good for them, they deserve it. Now it's time to "get back to work" and get ready to beat GT.

Hopefully they use the majority on GT. This is gonna be a tough game.

Folks. This is pretty monumental. Beat the no 11 team on their home field ? Hell yes. That's what's it's all about. Next year is going to be special.

They deserve to feel great after the big win over UofL, they will come back to earth systematically as Bowl prep work and the actual game gets closer. Also I believe finals are done now, so that frees their minds to get ready for GT.
