So you admit that LeBron doesn't have the heart of Jordan??

I concur.

Michael Jordan is the GOAT.

I don’t know if I’m “admitting” anything other than the obvious. I don’t think Lebron is as competitive as MJ. I never said he was better than MJ, even though that’s a more complex debate than most want to admit. But it is a fact that he will be the all time leading scorer when his career is done (barring injury) and is currently one shy of Jordan for championships with a very good chance of equaling or surpassing him. He may or may not end up with more rings. I don’t really care. But to say he sucks at basketball because he dives is ridiculous. And let’s not hold MJ up as this paragon of humanity. He was, and is, a petty a**hole with a gambling problem with a list of grudges that would make a high school girl blush.

So now we’re positive we’ve seen every minute that Jordan played and never once did he take a dive to get a call. Ok lol. The same MJ that couldn’t handle letting his little kids win at rough-housing or a flag football game has never taken a dive. Got it. That’s completely laughable. I’m not even that big of a Lebron fan and I can at least acknowledge that he will, statistically, be the best player in NBA history.

I don’t think that anyone has said that Jordan never flopped, but what lebron does is on a whole different level than anyone I’ve ever seen. It’s cringe to watch. I’d be embarrassed if it was my team.

I watched a ton of Jordan games and I never saw him flop around like LeBum does just about every freakin game.

I don't know what you just said, but I'm gonna guess it's along the lines of Michael Jordan is the awesomest of awesome and greatest ever.

Your math’s off. Jordan has Lebron by 2. 6 championships vs 4.

Heupel has to find a way to stop the run in particular. I think teams will run straight down our throat to tire our defense and keep our offense off of the field. Powerhouse pro style teams that focus on clock bleeding will be our biggest challenge. DL and LB depth is huge for that reason imo. Limiting 3 and outs are also going to be more crucial than ever.

Key in football today is holding teams to 3, bend don’t break. Focus on great red zone D.

With the last commit, Tennessee is at 85 scholarship players for their fall camp roster.

If you had followed any CFB media outlets and the transfer portal the past few months you’d think that’s an impossibility, but yeah we’re full. That being said We’ll probably have quite a few leave after they realize they won’t play or they may have other issues. But most would’ve laughed at the statement in February that by late may Tennessee would have a full roster.

All the seniors don’t count against that number...so we’re technically under.

He also needs to not run his offense like someone having a panic attack. I don’t think these hyper fast offenses are good. Especially when your defense is poop

He’s pretty good at putting up points.. something we haven’t done in a long time playing from the 90s playbook the last few years

I guess. His Mizzou offenses had inflated stats because they ran up the score on bad teams.

I like Heup but I think he’s a young head coach in a bad position. He’s gonna need time

Idk about GOAT, but I love that attitude

I just want someone who competes to the extent that the rules of the game allow. I think MJ was definitely that guy. I think LBJ is a the same sort of competitor. I think flopping, for him, is just a way he thinks he can create a turnover.

A flop doesn't have the same footprint as a forearm shiver but the result is the same. It influences the game and it forces someone to play a different game than the one they came to play. I'm not going to argue the semantics of it. It's an effort to make a play until it isn't.

What I can do without is LBJ's stupid attempts to explain something that's clearly a way for him to try to get a call. Just "no comment" that stuff. This ain't professional wrestling... an eye gouge doesn't mean you have to wear an eye patch for next week's matches.
