Pons won SEC Defensive Player of the Year

Hells to the yes!

Routes against air, but that would have got him a starting job at the Elite 11.

Poor footwork. Over rated

 

[NMVol]

Wait, is there a QB controversy?

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

You know things are going good at TN when Fitz turns down Saban and Bama to stay at TN.

 

[SpringBokVol]

I like what Pruitt said about all 6 QBs getting reps and there being a full competition.

Did Cincy really cancel their spring game for the coronavirus

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

Don’t even care. Jimmy B is a steal for us at DL coach. If JG takes a seat and HB5 takes over we going 15-0

"Jimmy Brumbaugh and I don't care Jimmy Brumbaugh and I don't care..." Come on Volnation all together now!!

I’m wondering how it’s gonna affect sports this year. They’re already starting to shut down classes at campuses and moving to online stuff

I would assume being a D1 athlete is one of the best ways to stay away from it. You have 24/7 access to medical resources. You are always practicing and rarely out doing anything else.

On top of that institutions like UT can easily establish a protocol to test anyone for the coronavirus weekly. They have the funds and the means to be able to. So.... doubt it really effects any major college sports too much.

SP+ thinks we’ll have a better defense this year than Alabama. SP+ is usually less favorable toward us than FPI. In fact this year, according to SP+, in regards to our schedule, only Florida and Georgia are expected to have better defenses. On the other side of the ball SP+ thinks there are 7 teams on our schedule with at least a marginally better offense. Our offense is expected to be better than Furman, Missouri, South Carolina, Arkansas, and Vanderbilt. Charlotte, Oklahoma, Florida, Alabama, Kentucky, Georgia, and Troy are all expected to have somewhat better offenses that us. Obviously we expect our defense to win against Charlotte, Kentucky, and Troy but we need a much better offense of our own if we’re going to compete with Oklahoma, Florida, Alabama, and Georgia. I hate to admit this before practice even starts but I'm really hoping Bailey is able to significantly distance himself from the other QBs and take the job outright. jmo.

Honestly, I think the spreads on UF and OK should be swapped.

If I bet on such things I would take those SC and VU spreads all day.

Holiday looks like a physical freak/ house call waiting to happen. Look for a move to WR soon. Bailey looks like Herbert from Oregon size wise already. His ability to process and deliver the quick strike will have him as QB1 soon

Just saw that Applebees is offering .25 cent boneless wings for a limited time. Nice gesture for a five star establishment to help out the middle class.

Other notes from Tennessee’s first day of spring
• Inside linebacker is the biggest position of need for the Vols, especially with Quavaris Crouch sidelined for the spring after undergoing shoulder surgery. Henry To’o To’o was the first linebacker through drills on Tuesday, and Solon Page III and converted defensive back Aaron Beasley were second and third, respectively. J.J. Peterson, the highest-rated signee in Tennessee’s 2018 class, was working near the back half of the group, behind at least one walk-on.

• Cooper Mays is one of four early enrollees from Tennessee’s 2020 class, but he will not participate in spring practice after undergoing surgery to repair a stress fracture in his foot. Pruitt noted on Tuesday he expected him to compete for playing time, but Mays first suffered the injury last season and played most of his senior season at Knoxville Catholic with the injury before having it repaired shortly after he joined the Vols.

• Defensive lineman Darel Middleton, who faces misdemeanor charges of domestic assault and public intoxication stemming from an incident earlier this month, practiced on Tuesday. Pruitt said his punishment will be handled internally.

• Jordan Allen was the lone position change on Tennessee’s roster. The former junior college signee who’s played sparingly at edge rusher and missed last season with a groin injury is now working as a tight end.

You'd get the coronavirus 2000% faster eating at Applebees than you would going to a sporting event.

All SEC coaches hate the spring game so I’d imagine these get cancelled quickly

Going by the mortality statistics, it might not be a bad idea to bar admission to anyone over 60. It might not slow down the spread of the disease, but at least you wouldn't be killing off any old folks.

"Old folks" should be making up their own minds the level of risk they want to take.

I’m pro old folks. In these final 37 days of my 30’s, it’s becoming more prudent

 

[Pepe]

But we are now in the environment that requires the government to hold everybody's hand.

I think it is interesting that a boneless wing and a napkin cost the same amount at Applebee's. It doesn't say much about the quality of their wings IMO.

As a soon to be 40 year old myself, I am moving more and more into the pro-old folks camp. Viva le Old Folks!

No we aren't but many do believe that. I want the government to stay as far away from my hands, and wallet, as possible.
