And it sags... I mean it lags.

Carolina Jackpot is a Gamecock fan who streams some games and chats with people. He did the Alabama at Tennessee game. The final 6 minutes are pretty good. He goes from seemingly happy that Bama misses the field goal to being upset and turning off the stream when we win.

Starts around 3:59:00

Lol yea. He was just doing that because he thought we was gonna lose the game from the get go. He was hoping to pile on. Backfired!!

Hoping Holiday and Callaway are able to do that.

Callaway is an odd one. He's almost transferred a few times it seems. Last year he was in the 2 deep until that 4th down drop against Florida. This year I haven't seen him since his personal foul or ejection on a play where he got in a skirmish. Was that Akron? I'm not sure he played against UTM.

From a talent standpoint Callaway could easily be where Bru or Keyton are this year. But he's definitely got some maturing to do and I hope he chooses to remain here to do it, because once his number is called he'll be producing without a doubt in my mind.

Squirrel and Walker are both going to have big years here as well I believe, from all accounts they are just as hardworking as Hyatt.

Holiday probably has the best chance at being a Velus Jones Jr. type of player for us, but I think he's behind a tad since he didn't start playing WR until coming here.


I would love for Hyatt to return, but with the sort of season he's having and the buzz he's created I think he'd be smart to get drafted as high as possible off what will be a pretty impressive Junior campaign.

Oh Lordy - 200 pages (and a week) behind! I'm reading as fast as I can!

How could Tillman still not be ready?

How bad was that injury.

It has to be healed by now.

Didn't he show up at the apartment, when his girlfriend called him back, with his hand wrapped in a blood soaked bandage? If that is true, he actually may have a broken bone or two and that can't be good. We'll find out soon enough

 

[Buddy’s Bandit]

Does anybody know a way to watch the game with the volume muted and listen to the radio broadcast were it's not delayed? The radio is either a couple seconds behind or ahead of the channel the game is on. It's not like the old days.

If you have DTV, adjust it to match the radio. Pause the screen and then match the radio.

Please take Levis. I can't handle another Vols legend in Indy.

Not if you properly landscape around the antenna.

Idc where he goes, I just want Hooker to go first round and get paid

 

[NighthawkVol]

Look I don’t like Pruitt but Saban didn’t see it either. Or Kirby. Or Day. Or Dabo. Or Lincoln Riley.

Unless you think Gibbs chose GT over Bama when they were both offering a spot in the RB room.

I remember watching Gibbs' Hudl film and thinking, "this dude is a future All American RB." And I'm not a coach. I was ticked that we didn't get him because Pruitt thought he was a CB.

You are correct that those other coaches whiffed on him too, but I don't know what they were looking at. It looked pretty obvious to me.

I mean, just watch the film...

 

[MoCo_Vol]

We are probably going to take a step back next year...jeez man everybody here thinks I am the negative one. Do you still really question Josh Heupel? You gotta be freaking kidding me.

If he can do this with this roster...

This is assuming R-Sr and Seniors all leave (which some may return with covid year)

Defense loses: Flowers, McCollugh, Burrell, Young, Beasley, Roman, Mitchell, Bumphus, Banks, Page III, Garland
Offense loses: Hooker, Tillman, Crawford, Wright, Carvin, Keyton, Fant, Warren
Special Teams: Brooks & McGrath

Next year will be a step back year, this roster may not be full of talent but the bulk of our starters will be gone on both sides of the ball and that's a lot of attrition to overcome in one season. Still think we win 8 games, but I'm definitely not going to expect us to get to the Georgia game undefeated.

That's Jalen not Tillman.

This will move the Music City Bowl up a notch, with however they restructure the bowls to accommodate the playoff expansion. Nashville will definitely get a Super Bowl now, possibly/probably Pro Bowl/All-Star stuff too.

There will be bigger neutral site "kickoff weekend" games here too now.

I tell you what, let’s just swap the SEC Basketball Tournament for the SEC Championship.

Atlanta can have basketball in Mercedes Benz and make UK fans travel further for the tournament, Nashville new stadium can have football.

Removed Crawford, Harrison, Beasley and Keyton

I bet Tank, Burrell, Beasley, and Roman come back on defense. And on offense, I think Keyton, Warren, and Crawford are all back.

I think they're onto us

Yeah, but I feel like if Keyton returns it's likely because Hyatt left early. I didn't even list guys that could leave early for the draft (although I think Hyatt might be the only one).

So even if we're being extremely optimistic.

WR: Tillman
OL: Carvin, Wright
TE: Fant
QB: Hooker

DL: Bumphus, Garland, Young
LB: Mitchell, Banks (pretty sure Beasley starts over Mitchell, but using the depth chart on ourlads)
Secondary: Flowers

That's still 5 of 11 starters on offense and 5/6 of 11 starters on defense.

Again, we'll still be good and I think we have a lot of talent returning but we won't be as good as we are this year and most of that will be because of losing the experience on the OL. I just hope Crawford stays and we don't see Spraggins or Cooper leave early.

First time I’ve ever watched these and wow seems obvious he was gonna be legit.

And just looked back at his recruitment. Guess GT got on him early. Bama, LSU, FL, etc came after him but he stayed committed. So maybe they all knew he was gonna be good then

That's hilarious. I'm sure he wasbpulling TN so he could laugh when they did not win!

The OSU fan in the chat talking sh!t was great.
