He got Barry Sanders, Emmitt Smith, Travis Henry legs..hope he has a lot of talent like those guys...lol.

Even half of their talent will be more than enough!

Thought that was Saquon Barkley for a sec.

Y’all remember Khalil Mckenzie thigh pics from his first practice?

Regarding the new WR Commit Chas Nimrod, his HS coach says:

“He’s a very selfless individual who will mold well with the culture that’s already being created. His work ethic is good. He is a likeable kid and is easy to have a conversation with. People love being around the young man.”

I mean, not trying to get overly PosiVol, but Heupel’s staff seems like a lot of smart and personable guys. And they seem to be really putting a focus on recruiting smart and personable guys.

Who knows where it goes as far as probabilities for success, but it would seem the odds are Definitely better than a bunch of jackass, dull coaches recruiting dull and jackassey kids.

Early Rick Barnes type recruit

On a more serious note, my girlfriend is planning to go to UT for grad school in december. Obviously I’m not staying behind in SC. What job prospects are there around Knoxville for a 25 year old with a BA in History he doesn’t use? Lol

Lots of fast food places are looking for good people

 

[DarthVol1]

Thanks.

Now just have to figure out the replacement car part.

Good news is I got the job offer I was looking for today

Doing the night shift security gig at da Waffle House?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Dude sounds smart as hell..

 

[lilesrt]

Is that where the new Dicks Sporting goods is going? Or did you mean they’re putting a facility in its place?

Dick’s Sporting Goods better watch out. E-Commerce has taken over. Their business model is dated.

Flowers interview was a good one.. he seems pretty confident in him and tank in the back end.. people are hard on our secondary, but did we really lose any production back there besides Thompson? I think we’ve gained a lot with experience and transfers

I had Walter nolen type expectations for that dude. He completely dominated his camps.

Here's my thought process: I think our rosters are flat better than Bowling Green, Tennessee Tech, South Alabama, and Vanderbilt. All of those have got to be wins. These are not talented football teams we're talking about.

I see three rosters better than the Vols for sure: Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. I don't think we can touch Alabama. But I once saw Kirby Smart lose to a 4-8 South Carolina team coached by Will Muschamp and I feel like Tennessee could beat Florida if Heupel is the offensive wizard many hope he is, especially if it's a Florida that just got waxed by Bama and is expecting a quick and easy rebound against a lousy UT.

Then I see five rosters where I really don't know. I could see Tennessee losing to or beating each of these teams. I have a hard time seeing them beat all of them. Losing to all of them strikes me as a distinct possibility if there are key injuries or if the QB position turns out to be a dumpster fire.

The bottom line is that if absolutely everything went right, they could wind up 10-2. But absolutely everything is not going to go right and we all know that. If everything goes wrong, they end up 4-8. If some things go right and some things go wrong, they settle at about 7-5.

I think I've been conditioned to be a pessimist since I've only really been a diehard since about 2007 or so and most of my existence has been pain mixed with disappointment and also more pain, so I can see everything going wrong a lot more easily than I can see it all going right.

Yeah, I’m surprised they are still investing in more Dicks. It seems there are enough already and online it’s just easier to get what you are looking for.

 

[ACvol3]

You’re late to the party bruh

He did nothing and had the gall to leave early and try the OL.

Yeah man… it was the hype. His head got bigger than his thighs and he thought he was just getting a bad shake at UT

 

[gordonr24]

It wouldn’t be comp. It would be uninsured motorist and as long as you had comp/collision on your policy you shouldn’t even have a deductible.

I’ve usually seen $200-$250 deductibles with uninsured motorist coverage

 

[tnvols72]

So this is what practice looks like at Tenn

We 100% have a better roster than South Carolina

 

[volbeast33]

Joe Buck and Troy Aikman acted like there was a legit battle for second string, but maybe Dobbs is not in the running for that. Rudolph just fumbled.

I am a huge steeler fan….. 2nd string is between Haskins and Tudolph right now….. anything can happen though but speculation is he will be cut and the Steelers hope to keep him on the practice squad if they can.

 

[tnvols72]

Do you not want Joe Milton to start?

I want the best one to start
