Awwweesome man!! I’m going VIP seats for second year in a row. Both nights! When you only make it to red rocks once a year, I think they are for sure worth it. Not terribly more expensive than GA yet you’re guaranteed a prime seat without having to wait in line. Can’t wait. Arguably the coolest venue on the planet! And Derek Trucks and company always bring their best

Agreed. His 1st year success hasn't been great in the past, but his last 3 stops he was starting with a new QB (Eason was a FR, Peterman was a transfer (bad one at that), and Brandon Allen was starting for the first time as a SO). We have too many skill pieces to only get 25.6 ppg (article noted this his is 1st year PPG average). His last 3 stops the offense regressed by 3 PPG year-over-year, but we aren't changing much on offense and are set up for success. I expect something more like the 2009 offense - about 29-30 ppg. Drop our defense to about 22-24 ppg allowed and there's a recipe for 8+ wins.

I'm not worried about him scoring less ppg this year. That stat can be a result of schedule, system or just all around coaching changes(typical year to learn new system).
TN struggled in 2008 and put up only 17.3, ppg after a similar 5-7 campaign. Chaney and Kiffin put up 29.1 ppg the following year.
It's all situational.

Social media has resulted in far more deaths than Sandy Hook.

The perpetrator was found to have spent most of his time alone in a basement, on the internet. I wouldn't necessarily separate the 2.
But the op is just trying to say something shocking or annoying, that's his schtick. Not really worthy of consideration.

Is it just me, or is the amount of information we get in here drastically decreased since the end of last year? Right now is the time of the year that info and recruiting really picks up and it seems like nothing is going on. We are talking about the same 10 kids over and over. Our insiders, including the most reliable ones, either have conflicting info or just flat out wrong more often than not these days. It also seems like we are dropping down the board because things are picking up with guys like Eason and Henderson out of Memphis. Not that they aren't quality players, but it seems like we are swinging for the big names this year, and now we are changing gears?

And then we'll get a commit from some highly ranked guy nobody's heard of before out of nowhere. There is probably a lot of momentum behind the scenes. We just have confident coaches that don't feel the need to leak information to make themselves feel better.

I think they have really clamped down on the flow of information that comes out of the program. Seems like our media guys are totally lost a lot of the time.

I've noticed most of those things. But I'm just keeping in mind that the staff surprised with a few last year and we still have our season ahead.
Things could look vastly different in December.

I think the only reason we know about Sewell and Smalls is because the National Recruiting guys know to follow Neids around everywhere he goes. I don't think we are in trouble recruiting wise, and I do think we get a few of those big names, and maybe more if we win. I just remember it's been leaked that Pruitt said earlier this year that we would have the #1 class if everyone committed to a recruit. The flow of information isn't supporting that statement, and we know this is staff has some big time national recruiters on it. Tee has been missing though, and Ansley hasn't made a difference yet.

I don't recall seeing Rivals or 247 listed as the scouting services that UT or any other P5 paid to help their with their recruiting efforts. Maybe I just missed it.

Trust the coaches until the results on the field tell you they cannot be trusted anymore.

There's a good article in the athletic this week about the recruiting services that Tennessee does pay for. And what they provide and how much they pay.
