We can wish for the Pirate's record the last two seasons...cept we have one more win. This faux Leach fear you female bleed on this board is a weak con...even for you.;)

I'm more comfortable with Theo at this point. Burrell is the one I'd like to see someone overtake. Nothing about his play really stands out to me except for how often he gets beat.

Agree. He misses way too many assignments. Gets caught looking in the backfield or not following the motion man.

That was a fantastic play by To. He destroyed that receiver and it wasn't targeting. Shoulder straight to the chest. He will be a high draft pick....sigh.

I hope that when this ncaa stuff come out about Tenn all the players involved that we’re supposedly paid are deemed ineligible and the teams they played for have to forfeit those games….. Henry t, wanya , EG, JJ, QC, etc…. Would be icing on the cake if we get a one year bowl ban and have bama miss the playoffs bc they took a dirty player….

And Rucker's at corner and Charles at FS. Holy position changes! Totally different responsibilities.

Would like Rucker or Turnage to take Burrell's spot. Burrell knows how to play the position but he still gets picked on because he isn't especially fast, he isn't big, tackles ok....just very average. When he started as a freshman when Bryce was out I had high hopes. I haven't seen much improvement. Maybe time under this staff will help. Also really wish we hadn't lost Key at safety.

Yes, he committed to Butch Jones August 3rd, 2014. Decommitted in March of 2015.

Then committed to Oklahoma where he backed up Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray before transferring to West Virginia. Named starter in Morgantown in 2019, got injured, bunch of guys went to the NFL and Neal Brown left. He lost the starting job in the offseason before 2020, transferred to La Tech this offseason.

What a ride... been in college since 2016 #NeverGraduate energy.

Brown is still at WVU

He's a backup...but he practices well. I have more faith in this staff to recognize such things.

I don't harbor any resentment towards the players that left. At the time they made the smart decision for their future. I blame the adults on staff and the admin for being idiots and making our program look like it was gonna be nuked. Anybody would have taken the money if they were in those kids shoes. I hope they are all personally successful, especially Ty and the other kids from TN. I just hope their teams lose.

Middleton is the only one that I really have any issue with.

When I hear guys like LA say nobody in the program shed a tear when HT left, that told me everything I needed to know. I don't care how good he is, he's now a bammer and due appropriate verbal abuse.

Why do they even make a week 1 AP Poll?

Half of the teams get embarrassed in week 1 anyway and plummet out of the rankings

agree....they really shouldn't come out with one until October IMO.....But I guess it keeps sports writers and commentators employed

Just because their coaches got caught? Lol. There are probably tons of paid kids on our and every other team...

But I've seen this raised before in articles and sources referenced say that's never happening, not with kids now getting paid. NCAA would look even worse, if that's even possible.
