sadly in the world we live in, where companies will actually pay someone for saying whatever effervesces or percolates into a noggin' on SM... this dude may well end up making some real money.

I wonder if the dude will ever know that people watch him just to make fun of him? If I could make a really good living being an imbecile..I probably would.

I don't think this idiot realizes that people are laughing at him though, but I think it would be awesome to find out he was a really smart kid just making a caricature of himself on purpose for money, then the joke would be on everyone else.

I like it. Come up to atlanta. We need a goalie bad! My best friend got a concussion about a month ago. Got tangled up in a tackle and landed straight on his head. Glad you’re good tho man!

Our keep got clocked in the head three weeks ago. Concussed and cut on his cornea. I'm a CAM. I don't belong back there lol.

I always thought it took balls to be goalie post U16 ball. I've gotten confirmation on that. All the guys played in college on the other team.

My 5 leg parlay for today
Notre Dame +6.5
Western Michigan ML
ETSU ML
Louisville ML
UK -4.5
+2113
Click to expand...

I went a little crazy this morning lol

4 pick parlay using a Dkings 25% Super Boost +608:
Clemson ML
UNC -7
Rutgers +21
TN +21

Got a 12 team that I actually really like but you know how those go.

For early slate I got a few plays(note I like to buy pts if it’s a key hook):
ND +7 - smells fishy but figured wth surely it’s close
TX Tech +10
Utah St +10
Army -7
Central Mich -10
Lsu ML - something tells me Coach O gets revenge
San Jose St +3

I kind of like TX AM, UCLA, Nebraska, KY in some of the later action. I think Arky and Stanford are trendy public dogs. TX AM defense I think exposes Arky QB today. Nebraska actually playing tough and heard some interesting stats from Jonathan Payne about how their offense is starting to click but everyone remembers game 1 and Michigan st getting a lot of love for beating teams that turned out to not be so good in Northwestern and Miami

Oklahoma did this within the last ten years and I thought it was almost too late then. I couldn’t believe we were still operating like that.

Everyone will be up in arms about this, but it’s the right business move and it’s the right move for the fans in my mind.

Yep only folks mad are those that have been cheating the system all these years and deferring their donations as they were grandfathered in

did you listen to the whole thing?

person to their left could have been paying $200 per seat. person to right $1700 per seat.

based on location, this makes all seats same price & requires a donation with it. 45% of ST holders dont donate. Big schools have done this for years, its mystifying why we didnt do it sooner. its very smart business, iyam.

its a long term play. to help with reno'a we desperately need. luxury boxes ans updated amenities.

We haven’t done it because our leadership in Knoxville has had rabbit ears for years. I love our fan base. We are a bunch of psychos. But you can’t run a successful organization listening to and submitting to the wishes of the psychos.

I get all the “we pay the bills” rhetoric, but good leadership does what the people need, not what the people want. If Danny White keeps making decisions like this, pushing past the resistance of our small minded base, we will look up in a few years and have a much better product.

I stayed away from Mizzu game. Initially I was all about Boston College then found out their backup QB was playing. Boston college a tough place to play kind of like Syracuse you see a lot of upsets or near upsets.

A lot of people like MIss St. I’m just going the other way because I know how Coach O is about revenge games. If there is a game he will rip his shirt off and bang his chest and demand they lay it on the line it’s a game like this after they embarrassed him last yr

I believe I saw where our O line is full go--- what ever happened to Kingston Harris? He okay? Didn't look good...

Who knows. Can’t get any info on injuries with this staff. He was standing around on sidelines later that game so maybe that is a good sign his leg wasn’t too bad. I hope he is ok. I always hate seeing a kid been buried in a depth chart finally get a shot then get hurt

Jimmy hyams with Brent hubbs said he has a friend that has paid $1,000 a year for 6 season tickets for years now because they are putting club seats in his section, to keep his seats in that section he will have to pay $27,600. WTF!!!

Who the F is going to pay that sh*t!?!?

1k for 6 season tickets? Is that the donation and then he also pays for the tickets each game on top of that? If he was paying 1k a year only for 6 season tickets then he has no right to be upset now… he was getting way too good of a deal for years.

For a few years, I was buying season tickets from someone at a small discount over what the season tickets would be through UT-$1400/ticket versus $1600/ticket. Found out they had inherited the tickets, wasn’t really a vol fan, and was just taking a $2200 profit. Something like 60% of actual season ticket seat prices are going down with this move.

That is what Hubbs was saying. This is a get right move and that person was getting by without having to donate. New AD is leveling the field where person next to you is paying the same. Those club seats are going to have their own bar/concession area etc. so there’s will be perks
