[Christian Lowe]

I’d say we went from rocky bottom to rocky base camp. Still a long way from rocky top.

How Fickell is not getting a new job in all this mess I’ll never understand. Obvious best candidate out there. I guess ESD and poss playoff birth hurting him

No way OU and ND both whiff on him right?

 

[engineerVOL]

Bomb goats fart money. Everyone knows that!

#BGFM all day.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Since it's they, suggest you pick one of them and perform some kind of persuasion that borders on torture. Your creed is on the line, Man up !
BTW....torture is legal in Tenn....just sayin !

Preparing the water board as we speak

 

[Jimmy Football]

Are there are remaining power 5 openings besides OU?

 

[engineerVOL]

We may completely whiff this off-season but by golly we’re having fun this week.

 

[Skizer41]

I still think with seniors leaving and a few inevitable transfers, even taking 32 we won't be back to 85 with how gutted this roster was of scholarship guys.

I thought we self imposed scholarship reductions. So we won't be at 85.

He’s also getting paid over 3 million, and they are about to get P5 money.

He could get at least 7 at ND

So you go put and recruit a DC and hope he brings his Head coach with him.....

I've heard it all now.

 

[Skizer41]

He was posting from California on Instagram.

Haha I was joking brother.

 

[Vols1117]

What about Fickell?

 

[BaldBiker]

Big fish recruit version is almost as fun as the big fish coach we've been getting for the past decade

Fish are fun. Big Fish are hilarious fun.

Super seniors won't count toward the 85 IIRC.

Neyland Rising's "Meheupel" was way up there.

I think that was the post that got me seriously addicted to reading this message board. You guys were in the throes of a coaching search, messages were accumulating by 20-30 pages per hour, and I was following the comments about this aged, mute poster called Neyland Rising, working his or her way through the backlog and handing out likes on comments that were several days old. I'd had a couple or three drinks and was perusing this thread late at night and suddenly I saw his practically uninterpretable first statement, just a newly synthesized word that somehow invoked the current state of that debacle and the hoped for outcome. That's the hardest I've ever laughed at a message board, couldn't stop for 20 minutes. Maybe the best post ever written here.

That’s true

 

[Type Orange+]

I literally know nothing except we have a major silent commitment

Not even an inkling of when the name might be revealed?

Oh wow! Didn't know that. I'll allow it....

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I hope we never have to communicate by just emojis because even at age 41, I would have to close up my VN shop…too much thinking and have no clue.

Is this better?

I did not plan on having this much fun this off-season, but here we are.

How Fickell is not getting a new job in all this mess I’ll never understand. Obvious best candidate out there. I guess ESD and poss playoff birth hurting him

If he makes the playoffs why leave?

Thought I heard that was not the case next year? Only applied to this year.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Darn you pretty Holly, 7-0?!? Wtf? Top ten ranking!!! how dare you?

 

[BubbaWms]

Don’t know if we have any Survivor watchers but if that tribal council could spread across our country and elswhere, this world would be better off !
