I don't recall seeing them mentioned in pre-season polls. Looking grim again, eh? new coach, less than stellar recruiting...will take time... we haven't fallen as far as Tenn Ain't that the truth. Dooley and Kiffin really did a number on us. Almost like the NCAA giving us the death penalty for a few years. Seriously, when you actually have to send a manager to a frat house a half hour before the game and get a former walk on to come dress because a starter got injured in pregame warm-ups, it really speaks to your lack of depth.

I agree that in the past few years that is enough, but found it interesting that when they play Michigan to start the 2017 season it could be their first such win in 70 years. Really? 70 years?!?! Strictly as a fan, the cupcake non-conference games scheduled by big time teams -- and obviously, SEC teams have been particularly prone to this -- are pointless. If you think you are the best team in the country, play a tough non-conference schedule. Even in the SEC, you will likely get a couple of cupcake conference games most years. Well, in all fairness, every big time program schedules cupcakes. I will say this about my Tennessee Vols… they are good about having at least one quality non-conference game every year. In 2001 Syracuse and Notre Dame, 2002-03 a home and away with #1 Miami, 2004-05 Notre Dame again, 2006 #12 Cal and a pretty good Air Force team, 2007 Cal again, 2008-09 a home and away with UCLA, 2010 Oregon, 2011 Cincinnatti, 2012 NC State, 2013 the Ducks again, and 2014 and this year we have Oklahoma. Down the road, we’ve got games lined up against West Virginia, Nebraska, Virginia Tech, and Pitt. So I think our AD is doing a good job of at least having one “quality” non-conference opponent every year (to go with our annual match ups against Florida, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and the rest of the SEC).

Since it's post your Hangman #3 week...

Just a beautiful copy! DC didn't crank out many Hitler covers, All Star #24 Batman #18 Boy Commandos #2 More Fun #75 Sensation #13 Superman #17 World's Finest #9

That's always been one of my favorites of the run. Incredible detail.

Very nice pick-up. Lots of cool Hitler covers in the Big Shot run.

Tough call - sell it to me and remove the dilemma!

I love, love, love this cover - had a chance to buy a waterstained but decent looking copy from Rich Muchin, but the price was too high and the moisture damage bothered me. It sold of course before I got a second chance. Here's my copy. As far as I can tell, the only work done to the book is a little reinforcement and color touch at the bottom staple and a 1 inch tear seal on the back cover. Was think about sending it to Matt to see if the work could be removed. Opinions?

Great book. I jumped at a copy last year. Nice pick-up, Adam. And glad you bumped this thread. (thumbs u

I've got this old label Church book and saw a 9.6 new label Church copy in a dealer's booth at Chicago a couple years ago. The 9.6 had the coding, but mine doesn't. Duplicate or mislabeled?

Thanks for the kind words, guys! My collection isn't a bunch of NM books, but I love 'em nonetheless!
