I can honestly see both sides. Games like Oklahoma are great for the fans, and if we win, it will memorable for years to come and will help us down the road when we get to the level of competing to make the playoff. My hesitancy is because other teams in the East have an advantage every year right now because they don't play Bama as much as we do. Now, an Oklahoma game does nothing to decide the East, obviously, but when we have struggled like we have to get back to relevancy, an extra loss on our record hurts us. I am not afraid of Oklahoma, and I think we can compete with them next year. I am just so over Georgia and Florida and now I have totally gotten lost in my argument, so I will just quit typing. Thank you for your kind words, regardless.DRV, fwiw, I think i agree with you about 99 % of the time on here, but not on this particular issue. Just gave a like for your writing.
Miles Friday was committed to us...when Butch.Recruiting related...anyone know if these guys are visiting, planning to visit or got real interest in UT? I ask because the 24/7 TN offers page list them as "warm" on us.
RB Daijun Edwards (4**** from Colquitt County, GA) - 5'10" 200 .9022
RB Miles Friday (unrated basically, under the radar kid but won RB MVP at The Opening) looks like he's a late bloomer, if he even gets noticed. 5'10" 170s but ran 4.6
WR Kentron Poitier (3*** from Miami, FL) - 6'2" 200 .8788 (camped here great size, may actually be 6'4" 24/7 has both heights on his profile)
WR/CB Robert Lewis (3*** from Newton, GA) - 5'10" 175 .8366 (has great speed on tape, not sure his 40 time 35" vertical though - Rivals actually predicts he's 100% a Vol
OT Marcus Henderson (4**** from Memphis, TN) - 6'5" 275 .8977 was here for Junior Day, has he been back?
SDE DeShawn Lynch (3*** from Folsom, CA) - 6'4" 280 .8715 not heard his name mentioned, great size though and Nieds is his primary.
ILB Noah Sewell (5***** from Orem, UT) - 6'2" 266 .9904 this would likely be a huge get if we managed it, massive accolades, measurables, size...
ILB Len'Neth Whitehead (4**** Athens, GA) 6'1" 230 .9259 (also plays RB, solid speed and great size)
ATH Darnell Washington (5***** Las Vegas, NV) 6'7.5" 261 .9952 (talk about a monster! TE seems his primary position) This guy is impressive, 11.34 100 meter and 4.7s at this size?
ATH Damarcus Beckwith (3*** Florence, AL) 6'5" 215 .8884 (looks to be a run first QB at HS level, big time athlete as he plays basketball & runs track)

I will be one of those that disagree. A college scholarship does have great value. But, with the amount of money generated it is still not nearly enough.A lot of folks will disagree, but I'll say it anyway. I don't think college athletes should be paid anything. Getting a free education at a place like Tennessee or really just about any other legitimate college is invaluable.

Chatt is all inOn "paying" the players -
Things are always changing. Generations come and generations go. The new generations are typically more adaptable than the older generations. jmo
I thought free agency in the pros was the worst thing ever when it came along. Whatever happened to loyalty? For me it took something I valued away from the game. I’ve always been a fan of players, whether college or pros. When the pro players started moving around from team to team for better paychecks I mostly decided to throw in the towel on the pros. I haven’t been to an NFL game I don’t think since Joe Montana’s 49ers last played in Atlanta. There’s not a single game that I’m interested in watching. I don’t even care for the super bowl. Everything is about money. The players, the NFL, the media, everybody is making more money than ever. They don’t miss me at all.
I was a big fan of the NBA and I spent money, went to games, etc. but I was a fan of the teams because of the players they had. Once players started deserting my team(s) pretty much just because they could make more money elsewhere I quit supporting them and quit going and quit watching. It didn’t hurt them at all and I don’t miss them one bit. I miss the old days. I thought those were the best times.
I haven’t been to watch the Braves play since the mid-90’s and I had been going to Braves’ games since the early 70’s. Dad and I were there the night Hank Aaron hit #715.
It’s not that I hate pro sports; it’s just that I’m not interested anymore. If it came to it I’d still take guests to a game just to entertain them but I’m not interested in investing any real time, money, or emotion into “loyalty” toward one team or another, not anymore. Things have changed, at least from my perspective, and I’m not interested in adapting. Obviously, I’m in the minority.
Doug Dickey was my first coach but I never trusted the guy. I mean he was from Florida. What the hell are we doing with a guy from Florida running our football program. I was just a kid but I wasn’t stupid. Sure enough the day came where Coach Dickey ups and leaves and guess where he goes. Frickin’ Florida. See I told ya. Now, many years later, I don’t really have any hard feelings about Dickey. I think in the end the way things turned out he was more Tennessee than he was Florida so I don’t hold any grudge.
I’ve said all that just to say this. I don’t give a damn what they do to the game they’re not separating me from my love of Tennessee football. I’ll frickin’ adapt. A body’s got to hold on to something in this crazy mixed up world. I mean they could hire another guy from Alabama to coach our team and I’m still going to be there week in and week out. They’re not going to win this time. To my dying day I’m a Tennessee Volunteer. jmo.
I think he's smarter than folks give him credit for. I'm NOT saying his feelings aren't genuine but I think he's *also aware of people recording. And that's honestly just smart.That’s good chit, Class act on O’s part, that’s why he gets top recruits, players everywhere respect him and his love for the game. It’s contagious really

Now Dabo, lol. Such a "great guy". And everyone just happens to be aware of it with so much coincidental footage to prove it.
So. Much.
i don' think there's goin to be 2 loss SEC E champion. the winner of the GA/FL game is gonna win the East, and i doubt the winner of that game loses another one. so it may be a moot point. especially if FL wins the cocktail party. GA still has auburn, so if they win, that would be the most likely way to get a 2L east champ.Hypothetical playoff question...
If the winner of LSU/Bama proceeds to go undefeated in the regular season, but loses to a 2-loss SEC East champion in Atlanta, does the SEC end up not having a team in the playoff?
I don’t think you can put in a 2-loss team, regardless of whether they win their conference championship. I don’t think you can put in the team that just lost to the 2-loss SEC champion without also putting the SEC champion in. And I don’t think you can put in the team that lost to the loser of the conference championship game.
I almost think the Big Ten would get 2 teams (Ohio St. and Penn State possibly), the ACC would get Clemson, and then I think one of Oregon or Oklahoma would get in if they win out in dominating fashion.
Yep no way a one loss SEC team is out of playoff.i don' think there's goin to be 2 loss SEC E champion. the winner of the GA/FL game is gonna win the East, and i doubt the winner of that game loses another one. so it may be a moot point. especially if FL wins the cocktail party. GA still has auburn, so if they win, that would be the most likely way to get a 2L east champ.
so if that were to happen, and UGA knocks off an undefeated LSU/Bama....i think a 1L LSU/Bama still gets in the play off.
