Real talk, anyone got the ability to help me get a UT football signed by some players for my friend that's in ICU?
I'd like to get Tillman and Hooker specifically for him, and any others would be welcome. Will pay for the football and cost of signatures if they charge, I just don't have the ability to actually meet & greet easily.
I don’t think Harsin is going to make it.
Longshot but given the situation and that you'll pay, have you tried messaging them? I know we're anti-message players/cruits (for good reason), but if it's for a good cause and you're paying, maybe they'll go for it.
I don't call them fans; I call them fanatics and every fan base has themOnly 25 men have won more college basketball games in the history of the sport than Rick Barnes…and many of our fans are begging us to fire him and hire some guy from the Missouri Valley Conference or the C-USA.
Not only has he had an incredibly successful career, but he has had very successful years here at Tennessee. Even this year, we are on the path to the tournament again. If you are dancing every year with a decently talented team, you give yourself a shot. Especially a team that doesn’t quit and plays hard. This team does that.
Will they most likely win it all? No. Will they make the Sweet 16? Maybe. Will they be respectable and will Barnes be a great leader of young men? Every day.
You would think with our recent decade-plus of instability in football, Barnes being steady and putting a competitive product on the court every year would be praised. Instead, our fanbase wants his head. Makes zero sense to me.
When he caught the ball short of the sticks and fought 3 defenders to pick up the first down, I was hoping they would go back to him more. That was all him on that play and it was big at the time for SF,Jennings is much better than I thought he’d be in the NFL……But SF does have 2 legit receivers and a top 3 TE…so I’m not sure if forcing the ball to a first year player is their priority. I would expect him to have a bigger role next season
