They’re Baaaaack…to Off-Season Greatness, Once Again

How many iterations of this are we going to see each and every year until the end of eternity as long as Texass has the deep pockets and heaviest bankroll in the SEC?

Respect? They enter the conference in 2024 and declare that they will run the conference, then losing to Georgia not once, but twice. In 2025, they couldn’t get out of their own way at times and Archduke oscillated between horrible and great, at times. Again, they visited Georgia, predicted to shock the world, just to get Kirb Stomped in Sanford and limp into the Cheez-Its bowl.

To their credit, at least they went an played the bowl game, and won it, beating a B1G team in the process.

But I believe it was off-season last year where some sports pundit asked the question: is Texas the new Alabama?

The answer is no. Alabama isn’t even Alabama. Funny how NIL can’t buy you everything, amirite?

Monday Hating: The Really Bad Week that Was Tennessee Athletics

Boy, I tell ya, I love to see this. First, video was leaked that showed the Everything School’s baseball coaching staff were dealing with their feels.

Honestly, you can’t blame them. Their baseball empire is crumbling and it just got worse with the weekend series with Vanderbilt, which walked Tennessee off not once, not twice, but three times in the series.

And, the icing on the cake, Tennessee is yet again denied a trip to the Final Four, getting destroyed by Michigan on Sunday night.

Lolz.

Couldn’t happen to a better group of assholes.

FTMFs.

Your Sunday Reminder That Auburn (and Tennessee) Sucks

Allow this to be your sacrilegious Sunday hating post.

You hate to see it, right?

Meanwhile, up the road a ways, the other Everything School in the SEC just lost another SEC series to their in-state rivals.

I’ll be cheering loudly for Michigan today in hopes that Tennessee is locked out of yet another Final Four, too. And no worries, Hillbillies…you’ll probably have your championship winning coach back next year the way the season is starting off for San Francisco.

FTMFs.

Your 3/27/2026 Reminder That Auburn Sucks: Final Fours

People, this is a real thing. When folks ask me about a bizarre happening in my life, I ask them, “could I make this shit up”? In this case, I can’t:

Yayyyy. We earned a participation prize.

That toilet paper usually is smeared with feces, so it’s only fitting that they adorn their campus with it whenever they accomplish the most middling or made up things.

And here I was thinking only Mr. Rodgers has a land of make believe in their house.

Shocker.

Hogtown Snub

I’ve gotten a kick out of following this the past couple of weeks.

Now, if you’re wondering “JP, why didn’t you share this with us?”, it’s because I find it to be a flawed exercise.

What really, really horrible fan base is missing from this? Yes, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Alabama, and Tennessee are all insufferable.

But a poll like this that excludes the jorts-wearing jerks of North Florida cannot be a serious poll. There are at least half of the teams listed on this that couldn’t sniff Florida’s Busch Lite soaked jock, and I find it to be an egregious an outrageous denial of having a national poll prove that Florida, in fact, possesses the worst fan base in the nation.

I did vote for Ohio State, though. They really are up there with the Gators and the Hillbillies.

How would you have voted?

Your 3/19 Reminder That Auburn Sucks

Folks, this isn’t parody. Auburn actually posted this, and were genuine about it.

Of course, Pearl and the Aubies are rightfully mocked in the comment. Let’s focus on the 16 losses, and being gifted a team that won 32 games the year prior from your dad.

But Auburn’s gotta Auburn.

Question About Glory, Glory…I’d Buy That For a Dollar

Easy post question here…is this worth the price of paying to the Glory Glory?

Let me guess…it probably goes like this:

“If you want to be developed, you come to Athens”.

Later:

“Iron sharpens iron.”

And more:

“This place was good to me and my family”.

And I think that sums it up.

Folks, you pay nothing to come here, and it seems most of you have fun with it. Pay something to read Glory Glory, which, from what I can tell, is authored mostly by undergrads or recent grads, and get something with little fun. But you can watch a practice or something something.

Call me crazy, but I enjoyed reading the Sports section of the Red and Black, and it was free. Maybe it was the free part I enjoyed the most, or that it was I could wipe my hands on it after eating at Bolton Hall and not think twice about it.

Oh, by the way, I will be talking with Otis about merchandising. You can support GTP Refugees by buying a three-quarter zip fleece for whatever the cost is plus shipping, and we’ll make no money whatsoever for the glory of knowing you’re in the right.

Also, a flag idea:

Act now. Supplies are going nowhere.

Another day, another lawsuit against the NCAA’s eligibility rules

I have no idea if UTK is supporting this action or not.

I’m getting sick and tired of this. Go get a job, Joey, whether that’s in football or something else.
