Even odds with an insanely strong home field advantage.

Velus. Alpha.

Velus. Alpha.

We are going to miss him more than we realize next season, I fear. I don't think we take him for granted, but he set us up several times.

He's the best football player on the team, imo...thought it last year, too.

There's no way aTm boosters have more money than any other major program.

They don't have to have have more boosters with more money just more boosters with more money willing to spend it.

Even odds with an insanely strong home field advantage.

We went 1-5 when giving up 30+ points. I sure hope the defense shows up ready to play.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

The back up, Dee Snuts, is only a sophomore but he’s gonna be a good one too.

Surprised no one is talking about the twins Carey Hunt and his brother Michael.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

The Mark Whipple resignation at Pitt is very strange.

 

[CABVOL]

Welp. Seen this movie ending way too often. Hope to finally see a different version.

True but that was 4 NY6 bowl teams...a 9-3 SEC team...and ofc UF...because UF...

Purdue couldn't even average 28 ppg in the B1G. They'll have their opportunities, sure and they'll throw it 40+ times which stinks, but they can't keep up imo. QB is a statue. Just keep discipline...tackle.

Meanwhile the Purdue defenders after one quarter...

Family related is the word.

All I know is if HH returns, WGWTFA

[Enki_Amenra]

Kiffin would find a way to implement a recruiting pitch during the eulogy. He knows no bounds.

 

[Devo182]

F*** Theo and Cade, huh?

They skipping the bowl game? Sure hope not.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Pruitt is the complete, polar opposite of Pruitt.

That is not how that works.

What was that comment about?

The Tennessee Football twitter account accidentally tweeted the F word as a typo lol. Seriously.

Just that one word? Lol

People are always excited about change...until change comes, and it isn’t at all what they wanted or expected. And I hate to burst your bubble but there actually was a time when noble players gave their all for the university they played for, and they appreciated the degree they were getting also. Funny thing is, I have not watched any Olympics or pro basketball/football in a while. Always loved college football and recruiting. Already beginning to become apathetic to recruiting although come here often for the fans here. Whether you comprehend what other fans think about it doesn’t change the facts that some fans are more into the emotion/tradition of the game than professional athletes. We will see going forward how many fans are in which camp, and the effect it has on the game. Can’t wait.

I'm with you on this. I played sports growing up---baseball, basketball and football and I watched pro sports every week but that all changed for me when the players started acting like dumbs$$es. The only pro sport I watch now is golf, probably because I play golf pretty much every day . I'm strictly into watching college sports now. As far as recruiting goes, I try to keep up with what I can on this site because I live a 1000 miles from Knoxville and you don't get recruiting info from the local news . Our coaches are paid to do their jobs and that's good enough for me. Nothing I can do about recruiting anyway so I don't worry about it----life is better that way.

Cited family health issues. Apparently he interviewed for the OC position at Nebraska however.

The guy who won these battles is on the good guys now.

 

[bigorange]

Just that one word? Lol

They meant to say “Velus. Theo. Cade.” regarding All-SEC honors. What they actually tweeted was “F***. Theo. Cade.” Lol

 

[COOKEVOL]

I highly recommend the book cited below to add some additional perspectives. My family met this gentleman, (Glenn Frazier) in Mobile Al. while he was still active and very much able to discuss that phase of his life.
I can't describe how humbled, inadequate & thankful I felt just listening to him describe what those soldiers experienced.

I’m familiar with him from the Ken Burns series. Fascinating story. How fortunate you got to meet him.

Velus is not anywhere close to the f bomb. Could be some malicious sh1t that someone is going to get fired over.

 

[engineerVOL]

Velus.

yea Apple did not auto-correct that for me
