I thought that was someone else?

I don’t know what I’m talking about

 

[Weezer]

I had Gooden confused with Emerson. Makes sense for Gooden to be there. My bad.

Think you have to tier these:
Likely W's - Bowling Green, Tennessee Tech, South Alabama
50/50 leaning W - South Carolina, Vanderbilt
50/50 leaning L - Pitt, Mizzou, Ole Miss, Kentucky
Likely L's - Florida, Alabama, Georgia

Pitt is too early in the season to call one way or another. I'd think we'd still be gelling but it would be a helluva win early.
@ Missouri is asking a lot, but maybe Heupel gets the team up for a former employer.
South Carolina features a new coach as well, the game is at home, likely a bounce-back spot. Maybe our offense is clicking by then.
Ole Miss is at home, and will likely be a raucous crowd if we're filling it up, but Kiffin has a big head start on Heupel in a lot of ways. I do not envy our defense on this day.
@ Kentucky is also asking a lot, and they are a steady program now. Would be a tall task to outperform them on the road late in the season when attrition is catching up to us.
Vanderbilt is a huge game for both coaches, but I think we have the edge. Chance to end the season on a high note.

It bodes well for us that so many split games are at home.

I could see 5-7 with 6-6 as a manageable stretch goal. I think we have 3 wins coming out of the bye with Kentucky, Georgia, South Alabama, and Vanderbilt left to get to bowl eligibility. You just have to wonder if attrition, injuries, or attitude are an issue. You also have to think our defense is wrecked by then. Can we score 150+ points in the month of November?

I would love to be at the Pitt game. Can’t wait to see what ticket/capacity looks like.

I have a patient dealing with a past Achilles injury (fully healed now) and I had him doing Blood Flow Restriction training with his eccentric loading. Worked well for him and some good research with BFR.

Excellent advice! BFR is really great for recovery with lower loads.

So what's with Emmit Gooden hitting the transfer portal?

He hit something alright but it wasn’t the portal

 

[franklinpence]

Size?

Yes.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Speaking of crazy, my brother told me he and his wife was going to bed one night and she told him when he falls asleep she’s going to cut his throat. Needless to say they’re divorced now

not a proponent of divorce but, makes sense here. that's crazy

 

[Weezer]

Adds to the phantom number and more articles.

Yeah, probably the intent of going in now. But for whatever reason, when I read Gooden, I was thinking Emerson. I thought we were actually losing someone new, not someone we lost a long time ago.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Yes.

Could have cut something worse. Her name wasn't Lorena was it?

In ur dreams pal

I usually don't feel too comfortable sharing personal information online and such but I spend a lot of time on here.

My grandfather passed away today. I've had great grandparents pass when I was a kid and teen. But this is an indescribable pain at the moment. He was my papaw. But growing up without a dad he also stepped up in that role so much throughout my life. It hurts because he was only 63, I never thought this would happen anytime this soon. He never got to see me marry or have a kid of my own, I have a lot of regrets but deep down I know he wouldn't want me feeling guilty about anything. He would want me to live. That's what I plan on doing.

Oh by the way, BIG ORANGE FAN UNTIL THE VERY END. He always joked he wanted to be put in the body farm in Knoxville. But hes being buried with a beautiful power T. This is why no matter the state of the program, I'll never give up on UT. It was one of things I bonded with my papaw the most.

. My condolences and prayers for your family.

Seal team on, that's all

Actually in Volnations dreams. JK

 

[drvenner]

the baseball team is bad

They won

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Go look up the Allar thread and watch the highlights. Ohio kid. May be a blessing in disguise the others committed elsewhere. OSU already has the #1 rated QB committed.

We will not get him.

 

[drvenner]

Good QB play and a good offense changes everything in college. TN can win 1-10 games next year. No one knows.

I hope we win more than one.

 

[drvenner]

we may not...

Don't believe this at all

 

[LoudOrange]

So what's with Emmit Gooden hitting the transfer portal?

Idk, but I'm sure Hyams will tweet about it to portray Tennessee in as bad of light as possible.

 

[The Dog]

U do know if UT makes the Sweet 16, this year, in men's BB, cat is closing out his VN account, 4 - evah ? I don't really want that, although that changes daily, but I do want a Sweet 16 +, so bad

 

[volbeast33]

I’m a redhead and I can safely say, I’m an anomaly. Don’t like the cray cray stuff.

The cray cray person rarely thinks it’s them..... they consider it normal.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

We lost all the best pieces from an objectively bad defense. I’m not really sure what you mean by “pretty good”. We were a scrimmage game for all the top dogs

I said the year before last year man. Come on.
