That is so damn dumb...I love Augusta, but that is just dumb. You go to a bucket list place and can't even take a damn picture...just dumb.

Have you been? It is a shockingly pleasant experience.
I probably felt the same way before experiencing it. Yeah it sucks for you to not photograph your memory, but not having your memory ruined by hundreds taking pictures of theirs is so nice.

I was at the Masters today. As promised, I wore an orange golf shirt and my Power T orange hat. I had at least a dozen guys say "go Vols" when they saw me. Most of them had some type of Vol apparel on. In looking around, I don't recall seeing much of any other school's hats or shirts. It is what we do!

I will be repping on the weekend for sure

They’ll be lucky to stay top 20 with 10 new players on the roster

It’s kind of what Musselman does. Almost a whole new group every year. It will be interesting to see how he develops freshmen because Moody has been his only one and done to get drafted. Duke has 4 of the top 13 coming in.

I stand by it. He missed several makable birdie opportunities and should have had an eagle on 13.

That eagle putt on 13 was over 25 ft and had about 3 feet of swing on it. Sure it was somewhat online but not a should make putt.

5 was about the only “makeable” birdie I can recall he missed. He also made up for that by making that long putt on 16.

All I’m saying is he was much closer to shooting about 75 vs a 67 you suggested. Agree to disagree.

I mean he did leave some shots out there. #8 where he messed up his chip to the green and bogeyed and #14 where he two putted from 5 feet to bogey are the two that come to mind for me. Pars those and he’s -3. Maybe he makes those and then misses some of the other clutch pars that he made and he may be even or -1 still. It all came out to a wash in my opinion.

9 greens and 27 putts
71 is good. Could have easily been 73-74

It doesn't bother me for other people to be taking pictures...they do it at literally every other gold tournament in the world and it works out just fine.

I will never get to go, and if I did I would be pissed that I couldn't take pics and vids to watch later.

13th nationally and a 4*. Did they decide to stop at 12 5*'s this year to keep TN from getting an ESPN 5*?

Proves ESPN bias towards Vols.
Unbelievable!

ESPN hands them out over time, like everyone. 247 only has 5 so far...ESPN has 10...On3 has 14, Rivals has 16.

The way “friends of Basevols” was described on basilio is technically illegal, it sounds like they’re operating without a quid pro quo which is one of the only real rules of NIL. You have to provide a service to get the money. he described it as players as the players counsel for money then they ask the executive counsel and then they just cut them a check (a clunky process in general)

Also said they were sending the money to a company in Vegas to hold (blueprint) then they’d hold 20% from what they gave to players but described it as holding it to just cover taxes… but tax rate wasn’t 20% for an amount they’d have last time I checked…

Just too many sketchy things about the friends of basevols IMO.

Mostly unrelated, but fwiw since they're not employees, they'd have to pay SE taxes of 15.3%. 20% would not be an unreasonable amount to withhold if that is the purpose.

The rest sounds quite concerning. One would hope they at least read the basic NiL rules...
