Just had to put down a great dog. A true friend and gentleman. He was part Lab, part Ovcharka (Russian shepherd) and many others. 80+ lbs. and lived to 16 1/2 years. Sawyer, you will be greatly missed. View attachment 376588

Sorry Doc. My lil princess Ivey, just turned 15. She had a dangerous hernia operation two years ago and I had to justify spending the money without guarantees…every year is worth it. Enjoy every moment with them, people. We don’t deserve what they provide.

But it’s to the west.

U.T. Martin soon to be U.T. Northern?

So sorry for your loss.

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

yeah yikes for taking advantage of this opportunity to make some possible easy money if ppl are willing to give

Big yikes

 

[gordonr24]

Just stuff that needs to be fixed and/or replaced. Close the stadium and lose all that money? Never.

The nicer upgrades are at least a season away and are phased. Some were approved this year for the 2022 season. Most of the fan experience upgrades are further out.

Oh I understood what you were saying. Just couldn’t miss the opportunity to make that joke

UT doesn't have a single player on the roster right now that would be worth the risk for a company to attach their face to a product. From a PR point of view, every kid on our roster is more likely to rob a convenience store in comped merchandise than to be a needle mover on Instagram.

Also, what kind of strategy is this that all the kids are adopting? "Here, let me whore my social media out. Let me know if there are any takers".

It's like they have never seen a YouTube video. You're supposed to pretend you actually like and use the product dummy. Putting tweets out like this basically reduces your platform to nothing other than a billboard.

SMH. This NIL thing gonna be a real **** show lol.

They will get much better advice as this moves along.

Duh

Very sorry for your loss.They become a part of your family and I know from experience it hurts to lose them.

I just don’t get it. I want this kid to stay as bad as anyone. But how does one get kicked off one team and then go to another team just like that. We could use his skill set and spent a lot of resources getting him to come here. Now someone can get him just like that.

These aren't donations. They are business dealings. Businesses rely on profits...return on investments.

Please tell me which businesses could turn a positive ROI on marketing a UT walk-on. I mean...for maybe a couple hundred bucks...ok. But for any serious amount of money? Doesn't make business sense.

Good for him. It should not define him.

Wish him to the best to make better decisions in the future and to become a good man.

I'm pretty sure, the new transfer rule says u can't use it to run away from your problems. So, in other words, if u get suspended from legal and/or academic problems, u still have to sit out a year, wherever u transfer. Maybe not exactly what u meant

There aren't any NCAA rules against transferring. Nor has he been convicted of anything.

Sorry to hear Doc. Dogs are such great family members and loyal as can be. I am hoping to avoid the inevitable for as long as I can, but my guy is almost 16 and on his last legs. Been with us since a pup. Kids in the neighborhood absolutely love him. We won’t be the only ones to miss him when the time comes. Just be thankful for the time you had together and all the good times and memories you have…but it is still painful (I’ve been there before).

He got kicked off team. He got 2 strikes here but will go somewhere else and learn and hopefully be on a straight path. Why can’t he just do a Jeremy banks path here and keep the guy here

hate it for you....that's tough to do

 

[Orange Studs]

Well that sucks.

 

[Orange Studs]

Per Hubbs, his scholarship wasn’t going to be renewed. Don’t see the blood. Disgruntled non-playing depth isn’t depth. We’re 3 deep at DT with some upgraded talent in transfers.

I agree but hate that we keep losing DL people.

I see...yeah I'm not sure. Guess he still could if he decided to stay enrolled and gave it enough time...personally I don't see that level of patience in him though. It doesn't seem he longs to be here, unlike Banks.

So if you're dismissed you still have to go into the transfer portal?

It shouldn’t define him, but that’s not really the tone you want to see from a kid who just got kicked off the team for an inability to stop doing stupid stuff. Forgiving himself pretty quickly.
