Speaking of speculative depth charts for this fall -

Here is the link to our possible depth chart maintained by the Our Lads website. I think they have depth charts for all FBS teams and they try to keep them updated in real time year round based on what they're hearing and reading.

2022 Tennessee Volunteers Football Depth Chart | Ourlads.com

Here is my speculative depth chart in advance of fall camp. jmo.

Note: as I understand it the 1T on the DL is big (300+) and strong and the 3T is lighter and speedy and my guess is Bumphus and West would maybe be our best 3Ts. Thomas, Simmons, and Garland better at 1T based mostly on size and strength. jmo.

I'm just guessing on Pearce but I don't think we have anyone proven to back up Tyler and so Roman is probably the strongest of our reserve edge guys so I've got him there instead of behind Young. I'm thinking Pearce or Josephs behind Young if and when Young ever comes off the field. jmo.

As always, fall camp could change my thoughts on how our depth chart might shape up, as it should. jmo.

I've included Athlon's preseason accolades.

A spider who lives in my yard able to eat its fill of things I really dont like? Sold! Welcome Mr Joro!

Sounds good in theory, but speaking from experience over the last three years...you don't want Joro spiders around. I killed every small one I could find last year during the late summer and it wasn't too bad in the fall. The reason I went to all that trouble was because the previous year was a nightmare. I have no problems with spiders being around, but these ****ers were EVERYWHERE. Never seen anything like it. I could easily kill 10-15 big ones in my front yard one day then find 10 new big ones out front a day or two later. There were probably 30+ big Joro spiders right around or on my house at any given time...nevermind how many were hanging out in the woods out back.

Wolf spiders are the worst. Did basic labor and warranty work for a new home builder for about a year and a half when I was in high school. One day, we had to go remove a big, dead tree from some property. I was told to haul the logs out of the wooded area as the tree was cut up. Folks failed to tell me that there was a decent clan of wolf spiders in the tree. Suckers were crawling all over the ground. I hate spiders.

Yep, and as they grow they move higher into the bushes and trees. Late summer they’re overhead by 20 feet and absolutely everywhere. Last year was our first experience and I was wondering why it wasn’t being talked about more. Felt like they should have called in the National Guard.

No kidding. It’s wild when you head down the street and see a web stretching across trees on opposite sides of the road.

So I say to my wife “hey I heard the terminal list is really good. Do you want to watch?”

She has controls and starts the show while I’m grabbing a drink.

We get 10 or 15 minutes in and I’m thinking wow they are starting this off hot.

End of the episode, come to realize my wife clicked on the last episode of the series. Lol good times.

One time my German Shepherd came in from being out back and was wagging his head, and slamming his paws on the floor like Ray Charles plays a piano. He walks up to me cross-eyed and right between his eyes is a huge spider. I guess he had walked through a web. I finally got him to calm down and knocked the sucker off then swatted it with a shoe.

Has anyone ever stepped on a wolf spider and then all the babies run off of it? Nightmare fuel, especially if it's inside and you have like 5 seconds to get them all or you're in for it.

Invasive species from Japan you say? Let me introduce you to the Joro Spider. They have invaded North Georgia and are on the way to Tennessee. The babies start small and by the end of summer the body and legs are as big as your open palm. Not only that but webs will be everywhere many nearly connected.

In order to combat the Joro Spider infestation, maybe we should import some of these suckers

Got some news, good this time for once.

Girlfriend, well, fiancé now.. is pregnant. And we know a gender, too. It’s a girl. She’s at about 4 months now, so I have to think of a name but creativity has never been my strong suit.

In any case, there’s my life update. I’m trying to actually get my shot together and try to find a job that is a career rather than just something to pay the bills. I have a degree, but it hasn’t meant much for me. I’m more stressed than anything. It’s hard to wrap my head around the fact that everything I do is in support of someone else now. Perhaps that’s a good thing, though. I’ve never much cared about being successful just to be proud of myself for better or worse.

Sorry, just rambling. Don’t really have anyone to voice these fears to.

Congrats, bro

Yes. It actually cool to see. Kind of looks like something out of a sci-fi movie.

I forgot Ramel Keyton was on the team.
I have high hopes for Kaleb Webb.
