Could be 19th though.

Are mormon women even hot? Asking for a friend...

Quantity over quality.... thats why they get more than one.

 

[Ten_Titans]

Anyone listen to the VQ podcast? It was... Damn... I would say not to quit their day job but... Anyway.

"There are zero NFL players from Butch Jones on this roster."

" Callaway, D Taylor, Warrior, Trey Smith... "

" I meant first rounders. "

Lmao

I am not sure why college football coaches don't operate more like NFL coaches/organizations. In practices that are open the media can watch the entire practice and comment on players all they want (i.e. Player X made several great catches, the OL struggled a bit, Player Y left practice early with trainers, etc.).... but they can't comment on plays, formations, stuff like that. Being that "transparent" doesn't seem to hurt NFL teams, so why don't colleges follow suit?

NFL are full of pros. College teams are filled with young men that coaches sometimes need to protect from rabid fans and media. I suspect that is one reason.

It's always fairly hard to listen to. If it wasn't for the recruiting info they get, I wouldn't listen. They aren't the best at actually evaluating football talent.

 

[SweetasSoda]

THIS is the correct answer. I started watching UT football in the mid 70s and my top five QBs would be:
Peyton
Shuler
Dobbs
The Artfull Dodger (C. Holloway)
Tee

Yes, although I still love Andy.

I would love for someone to straight up ask them, “have you ever played a down of organized football past pee wee league?”

 

[Freak]

@Freak Are we gonna have a college pickem this year?

Yeah, I'll post it probably this weekend.

 

[RiotVol]

FYI, Per Hubbs UT closed today's practice so no access for media.

This is what I would do if I knew I was going to start practice by announcing to the team that they’d better tighten up their chinstraps and jockstraps, because Big Trey has been cleared for contact.

(Pure speculation on my part...)

 

[pismonque]

H to the E to the Double-L NO, especially not to the Texans and for Clowney.

fyp to give it more of a ring... almost sounds like a cheer now.

 

[reVOLution33]

No he would not.

He beat out Dobbs and then hurt his leg. Would have been better or at least as good. He had a better arm and was just as elusive with his feet.

 

[TheMagnificantOne]

Moose with the savagery

Yes

Not humanly possible.

 

[eVOLve]

Left tackle is still a big question mark at this stage. Wanya is not ready and may not be until the second half of the year. I do think the O-line will be improved overall.

Just need to make sure they at least put a block on somebody and not let them through free of charge.

 

[Geaux_Vols]

Daaaaaaaamn.



he's since unliked it, apparently. but going through his likes to find the post, i noticed a sizable chunk of them are family members of recruits he's on. dude is a killer.

further update, hendi deleted it lolololol.

 

[eVOLve]

Somebody hit the shine a bit too early

 

[NMVol]

You may be right but I didn't see those guys play. Holloway was QB when I first remember watching UT. So my list started in the early to mid 70s.

And you know Casey Clausen had more success than a few of the guys on your list?

 

[rocktopper16]

Yeah, I'll post it probably this weekend.

Woot woot!

 

[Kingston Vol]

The Athletic ranked every college football program, and Tennessee checks in at #64, which is 10 spots higher than our Week 2 opponent BYU at #54. The only Power 5 school on our schedule ranked below us is Vandy. It's going to take a hell of a first few games to convince the national press that we're worth a crap.

I'm getting as pumped up as others on here by all the camp/scrimmage reports, but I'm desperately trying to reel my expectations back in to something realistic (I'm hovering in that 7-5, 6-6 world right now).

I’ll be honest with you, I’m more worried about BYU than South Carolina or Kentucky.

 

[RikidyBones]

So there I was...

At chickfila with my son, Peyton. He notifies me that he has to go to the bathroom. As we are walking to the bathroom, a police officer walks out of the bathroom and Peyton yells...

"EXCUSE ME, POLICE OFFICER.. DID YOU GO PEE OR POOOOOP?!?"

Me: *sigh*

 

[smokeyz1]

If I had carried the list to 7 spots .. Casey would have been #6 and Andy #7
