If it’s not hurting, swollen,and he can push off good…. I would wrap it and go with it…… it won’t be completely stable until the off season. Like you said, ankles can be tricky.

Hope your guy is more accurate. Next two games are more critical to meeting or exceeding expectations for the season than OM, Bama or UGA. Resting him for those games, if he could go, doesn't seem to make sense strategically.

And that would crush other sports. You do realize football supports a lot of other sports right? If 10k show up, then we are losing millions. Those losses would be absorbed by other sports either not being retained or less funds. You can’t have football bad at a university like UT. Once the fans and donors get fed up, you are toast. And it is getting worse every single year now.

I guess you didn’t read my whole post. You know, that part about paying bills.

So you’re admitting that it is not fathomable for your scenario to work out then? We have to have fans filling Neyland. If not, other sports will suffer. Football is king and has to be fixed or more and more fans will stop going to games and it hurts everything else.

I do too….. I definitely hope they come up with a better solution than carbon at center and lane at guard.

No joke. I think it’s weird that they wanted the best five on the field at all times and started that way. Can’t tell me number six is Lane. Davis has to be number six so figure out a way to get him in the five and move people around.

The program is dangerously close to the point of no return. Many boosters have walked away or at least reduced their involvement. We need for Heuple to be the guy. If we have to do this again in 4-5 years, it will probably be the death punch. With all things like this it is either luck or money to dig out, or a combination of both. The money is going south (I'm talking about money outside of the TV revenue) at the same time the need for money is increasing. The NIL money will almost solely be from boosters and I'm not sure we have many that are bought in to the point of competing with the GA's and Bama's of the world.

I hope Ole Miss makes Saban sweat this weekend. I still think Bama wins but I do think it’ll be an interesting game. Also I’m pulling for Arkansas this weekend. Hate Bama and Georgia

I want Lane to fail so badly that I almost want Bama to win. Almost. While I am at it, double Gauldens to Bama.

One game playoff makes it tricky but I have no doubts that we can beat the cardinals in a series if it’s later on.

Cardinals have their number right now…dodgers line up isn’t as strong as last years in my opinion and Cody B needs to be traded lol dodgers have some holes to fill this offseason.

Exactly. I don’t think people realize how bad it is getting. Heup has to be the guy or we are in trouble.

We split last time we played them…. We do have some holes but we are finally pretty healthy….. Cody B needs to hurry and change his swing back.

What is the head space of a big money booster that just says "that's it, I'm not supporting the team I love anymore!" Seems like if you have that kind of money you use it to make the team better. Wouldn't you see it as a challenge? I almost feel like the boosters have let us down to an extent. Is that not why we have hired a slew of bargain basement HCs and our stadium has become severely outdated? Idk

I think we said this last time when Pruitt was here. We're pretty much dead already minus the TV money. UT admin is milking the remaining football donors and fan money dry.

Could not agree more. Heupel is our last leg while we still have some notoriety. Kids' parents still remember us being good but hs kids now do not (obviously). Coming soon the parents of hs kids will not remember us being good either and that's when I think we're truly a nobody.
