Yeah if Milton goes in there in 23' and overthrows everyone again then we throw Jackson heading into his second year.

Peeps just have an irrational disdain for Milton.

The doubt is more than fair and understandable..Joe Milton has NEVER accomplished anything on the field that engenders confidence that his light will suddenly switch on....but with all that insane physical ability, there is always going to be that hope that maybe it will.

Maybe if everything goes right, but we are 2-3 key injuries away from struggling to get to 7-5.

I don't understand how that is not apparent to everybody.

Who are your 2-3? QB is obvious, but that's every year and HH is a rock just like Dobbs and JG were.

Idk who else is a +/- 1 game difference. Maaaybe Coop or Young? Even then not sure. Even doubting Small with as good as Williams could be off the bat and as elite as a run game this offense naturally produces.

Guess I could see Banks. That LB room is still depressing. Not that Banks is that great, the backups just offer that little hope.

So I guess NIL is coming to high school sports too soon. It is already being discussed here in Florida and if Florida approves this, I'm sure will spread to other states. This just blows my mind that boosters or local businesses might be paying high school kids 15-18 yrs old too next and some of these kids will be making more money possibly then their parents in the hundreds of thousands before they even hit 18 yrs old!

Highly doubt it since you can't "recruit" kids without breaking rules. Don't see the incentive....besides...how invested are HS boosters?? I've never been to Texas, but I can hardly imagine being a HS booster and being serious about it to that point. Seems like a total waste.

But if they're like LBJ was in high school, a total international phenom, and they can gather Nike deals...by all means. It's a free country.

Hooker..any starting OL..Tillman..Banks or any other starting LB..whoever our best CB or S ends up being..but especially Hooker.

Any combination of 2-4 injuries will make it rough in the slight favorite and toss up games.

If he can get over the mental hump of over throwing them he'll be good

Milton is what Milton is at this point.You can't fix accuracy really,that's either something u have or don't.Thst involves a mirade if things from mechanics,to footwork, precision ALL of which Milton has ZERO of.I mean dude ain't even a threat to run.You can't make him less scared lol and if he ain't scared,I'm scared because he ran outta bounds with no clock knowing he had 3 secs and needed a TD.Id rather have Bass in at Qb if Hooker got hurt over Milton.All I'm saying is Hooker was a serviceable QB before he got to UT,Heupel helped some but Hooker already had"IT",just needs some refiniment.Milton came from Michigan and had a big arm and Hype tryed to force that issue,thinking like us all he can't really be that bad.Well now u know,god that's long but only the feel bad for Milton crowd ever thinks he deserves a shot here again.I wish kid nothing but the best but he's best to play another position,or go Fcs cause he doesn't have the skills to play in the Sec.

Cause Dolly is smart, extremely nice and generous. Did I mention that she has a good heart too? I am sure she hired smart people to manage all her money…net worth $350 million.

She is an absolute national treasure. First it was becoming an ally with the drag community and her drag fans, then the Dolly Foundation (furthering education efforts throughout Appalachia), then BLM, then helping with the fire victims around the Smoky Mountains, the Moderna donation, and now this. She is truly caring and giving to all people, and most especially her native neighbors of ET. She's awesome.

Community colleges offer free tuition in TN. So they are covering books and other expenses and that will cover most of their people. There may be a small number going to UTK or other 4 year colleges like Carson Newman that work there. ETSU and possibly others have extensions in Sevier County to get a Bachelors. Most of the workers come from a 4-5 county area, so they can commute reasonably well and make it to classes when not working.

It's a chunk of change, but they probably factored into their financial planning. It's not cheap to go to Dollywood or stay in their lodging facilities anymore.
