that smells just like ashtray & syrup.

You older farts will get it.

Someone tell Toot to be his own man.

Samoan culture... will never happen

Yep I watched 90 day fiance very true

AP sounds like he has no confidence in a Tennessee pick, then says he told Ty exactly how to throw everyone off.

 

[scienceteaching_vol]

Missed it at first.

- AP

I’d interpret that as he has a direct boss instead of being fully his own show.

Heupel seems like a guy that stays in his wheel house and let's his coaches do their jobs. Wonder if if doesn't see Artis as proven or competent. Wonder if he was kept for continuity with the coaching transition and now Heupel doesn't like what he sees.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Hubbs said main reason Henry T isn’t coming back is because his dad doesn’t want him here

Sounds like Toot’s dad taking all the heat so Henry doesn’t. Henry isn’t going to come out and say, “yeah I don’t want to be there”

Players love Artis so this is a concession and an honest audition imo.

I guess he still hit the jackpot in his mind, got 3 meals a day and a bed instead of freezing under a bridge. Learned a lot about society working at that store. Always funny when people from the same church/work would wind up at the register and have that awkward moment.

I know what you mean. My Grandmother lived in a small God Fearing county near the Tri-Cities and was actually told to soak raisins in gin to help her arthritis. When her county finally got a liquor store she would still drive to all the way to the other side of Johnson City so no one would see her.

Lot of sour grapes for Henry T in here

Kid is a star and we really need him here next year. Culturally, his dad is running the show though. I’ll hate it if he leaves. I really want to like him but once you take off that Power T its peace out unless you are looking for playing time, which I can respect

 

[WarMachine]

there is something or at least some messaging to these recruits tweets about "earning" an offer.

Can you expand on this?

He’s one of the biggest quitters we’ve ever seen. TOTAL LOSER!

Growing up going to Waffle House was how I spent my weekly mandatory time with my dad. All these WH jokes are like a warm hug.

Gibbs was bigger...back in the day Devonte Borque...

Tennessee basketball now experiencing the maddening inconsistency of programs that have the “one and done” talent each year.

The previous squads were less talented but far more consistent over the season. Each have their pros and cons and it takes a rare combination for those to hit in all cylinders

Borque....

“Hi, I’m Daniel McCullers”

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Lol...not Mississippi...Chattanooga once, and Atlanta three times (one of those at a Skynyrd concert at Lakewood) ..and it was the mid nineties

I was hoping for a crack house story but a Skynyrd concert will be just as good

“It still hurts!”

 

[WarMachine]

SAIP... SMH. Holy crap, we are giving away the best players in the transfer portal. Makes me sick (from a team perspective). Not faulting the guys making business decisions, but it sucks, nonetheless.

Well, Artis has never actually ran his own show. Last year was going to be his first year doing that, but with COVID it didn't happen really.

Ask Calipari

Agree completely; but, another issue right now...need to get healthy. Banged up.

 

[Dudley Smith]

Brumfield sounds like a good one and if it is the case we have a HC thst actually cares about special teams being a focus. Special teams coverage and return units were so poorly coached under Pruitt. That was one thing Butch was good at was the return/coverage game. Pruitt idiot wanted fair catches all the time instead of returns.

Do not care if Artis is unhappy or not. He should be lucky he was kept around. I doubt he has many opportunities with same title.

Imo Gray will regret leaving TN. Does Oklahoma run the ball? All I see them do is pass. I have wondered if he was encouraged to leave for his part in the investigation.

OU runs the ball a lot.

Respect your elders.

Talent wise next year may not be "as good" as this year's squad, but I actually think consistency wise we'll be stronger next year while still having good success. If any 1 of the likely 3 draft guys returns (Keon, Springer, Pons) then we may see the squad picked to compete for the SEC.

I feel like a few guys on the squad could have that 3rd year bump that seems common among Barnes developed guys. Gaines, Olivier, and even Bailey would all be entering their 3rd season with the staff going into next season.

Gibbs is still on the team. Borque had a kid he wanted to go home to from what I recall.

Henry’s excuse is “my daddy wants me to go pway wiff Nick saban”

 

[Dudley Smith]

Everyone speculating on the bar fight litigation seems to be missing the point that most Plaintiffs' lawyers don't want to spend the time and effort to get empty verdicts. Suing two Okie amateur cage fighters who don't have a pot to piss in isn't going to result in a recoverable judgment even if they do convince a jury that they committed battery.

If there's going to be a claim, it will be against the bar for negligent security.
