Touted as a Heisman candidate as a first year starter to being benched. Admittedly, he had a tough legacy to continue with Murray, Hurts, and Baker.
Change of scenery might be exactly what he needs. It worked for the above mentioned.

I’d like for that to trend the opposite direction for OK with QBs leaving instead of coming in.

Totally agree--- really doesn't matter what team, conference, or whether college/nfl, the officiating has been pathetic...

I say at the end of each game, you take two neutral parties to watch the officiating and decide who, and how much they get paid that game. Watch their performance and how it affects the game. If they suck and screw up several times, they don't get paid that game... Bet games would be even from then on...

Who would want to ref in that environment….. that would just lower the quality of applicants.

The biggest news out of the VQ chat last night was when AP said that there are big time things going on behind the scenes with NIL. He said that people in state are very committed to this. If Hooker comes back, he’ll get some big ones. And not only that, that isn’t going to be a problem in recruiting

I hope so, I've been waiting for us to press that turbo button. No reason we shouldn't be the best in the country at NIL.

Yeah, that view when you first come into the valley where you can see El Cap, Bridal Veil Falls, Half Dome, all that stuff standing in one place, it’s just mind-boggling. Never seen anything to match it.

I’d known of and seen pics of El Capitan but when I stood there and saw it the first time I was utterly captivated by it, still am, just that mass of granite running 3000’ straight up, it hardly makes sense. Then to watch Honnold scoot up it like it’s a damn gym wall, don’t even know how to process that.

Tunnel View..here's you one to to jog your memory 😁 all my other wide angle shots from there on my phone have us in them, and I lost my camera later with a bunch of great shots from here...so this is not the best pic, but it is the only one I can use from Tunnel View.

Anyone ever watched Heart of Darkness? Really fascinating look into the production and madness while filming Apocalypse Now. Wild shiz...

And for those of you that previously turned me onto climbing docs (Free Solo, Dawn Wall, etc), there's a newer one about an Alpinist (rock climbing, but also ice) called The Alpinist. It lacks the "great challenge" aspect like those others, but it was great as well...and with a twist.

Saw that in the theaters when it came out and remember enjoying it, if not many of the details. Where is it streaming now?

Funny you should mention it since I just watched Apocalypse Now Redux last week on Netflix. It streams in 4K and looks gorgeous. The extra scenes don’t add much, but I did like the one with the French Plantation owners.

Wait, what?!!
I’ve been reading on here for weeks that TN doesn’t even understand the concept of NIL and all we can do is give out some free cookies. In fact, we might not recruit a single add’l non-cookie-interested player, ever.

He should be fired. That is documentation of interference. At best it is an abuse of power for a personal dispute, which is already too far. At worst it is outright weighing the scales for money/gambling.

POS should be made an example of

He didn’t call the foul bc they bumped into each other….. he called the foul bc the player taunted the Steelers sideline….. I don’t agree with that call either especially in that situation.

Fun stats (haven't checked this against other SEC teams)

3 WRs with 300+ yards and at least 5 TDs (Payton, Jones, Tillman)
3 rushers with 350+ yards on at least 75 attempts with a YPC over 4 (Evans, Small, Hooker)

Also Velus now has over 1k total yards (including his yardage from returns) - leads SEC in KR yards and is 3rd in PR yards

Only UT & Bama have 2 WRs in the top 10 in receiving yards.

Been searching properties the last month around Bozeman, three forks, Livingston and Nye. Have a few picked out that are doable.
Going to try to fly out in the next month or so and see them first hand. Going to be a LONG term plan, with hopes to build in 10-15 years.

That’s the one! Great pic but it’s just like Grand Canyon in that no photo (or video even) can capture the sense of scale you get by standing there. Absolutely floored me.

Can you imagine in the days before mass communication, just happening upon that place with no prior expectation?
