Actually....not clicking on this one!!

Smart man

Are either of those two under NCAA investigation?

I agree. However, it is ironic that many "star" players sit out bowl games. We are already on scholarship reductions and I don't think a bowl ban really deters recruits from signing. With the way our offense has developed, I think we will pull in the recruits. We also have more TV exposure than most teams as well. Maybe an early Christmas gift will be a NCAA announcement before January.

Or—and hear me out here—just get what you want and do what you want, not caring about what is viewed as trendy by a random collection of people

Uhmm...that is what I do anyway...it was a joke.

The NCAA punishment hasn't been handed down and until that happens, recruits may be waiting to see what the punishment is gonna be. We committed some pretty serious violations.

Does the NCAA have any power any more? They are on their last gasp and if they try too much against one of its schools the SEC will tell them to shove it

When it comes to the NCAA I would argue that their actual power is much less than their PERCEIVED power and that is the battle Tennessee is fighting. The perception is that the NCAA has some power and that is what opposing coaches are using as ammo.

Is Oklahoma in the SEC a better job than UT? Cause I don’t think it is. And why would Heupel want to go coach at a place that threw him out. Yeah he played there but they used him as a scape goat and I’m sure that didn’t leave a good taste in his mouth

Are you guys starting this sh^t again. SMH

Coach Heup: "Dang right."

 

[Batman1948]

NIL. Would you rather have money spent to get recruits or used to keep our best players?

What's the difference---money is money

Yes it is.

Also don’t think he’d leave. Danny is his guy.

Same but I was up in the sky box.

Same but I was up in the sky box.

Well then…

Not sure if they’ve changed the student section since then, but we had some great seats at times.

Do you remember the no shot clock era? Get ahead by 10-15 points and then the 4 corners offense comes out. That was awful. Shot clock was definitely welcome. Did not need to be shortened though. That’s what really killed the game in my opinion. No time to set up plays.

North Carolina made a living with that 4 corner offense---hold it for 5 minutes and catch the defense napping and cherry pick a lay up. So glad that changed with the shot clock.

They're still in power and can punish us as they see fit. The biggest problem for us though is the negative recruiting from rival coaches. As long as we're under investigation, that's gonna be a big issue.

I love Tennessee, especially in the fall.
