There was never a culture problem. I’d be pissed too if I were him. Media has way too much push in our society.

it doesn't help that our fans got wind of, pried into, and then absolutely blasted out to the rest of the world that there was a fight in the locker room

I'm not saying it's the fans' fault that national media were questioning our culture, but social media and the boards were buzzing with Vols fans telling anyone and everyone about a fight in the locker room

Someone mentioned he moved to Cincinnati.

Not really. They rent a second home in Cincinnati because their youngest kid transferred to HS there and they have two kids at OSU. But their main residence is still Nashville.

I really don't want to play a bowl game without Banks in the middle.

He calls and sets the defense.

If he is not there, it will be hard to get off the field.

Is there speculation that Banks is opting out?

You have a month to get Beasley and Mitchell ready. That's plenty of time. You can't do that, that's on you

That... and being opted out. Likely not the only one.

Car Wash Manager. Son of a gun,

For context, Buc-ees is a Texas icon.

It’s a gas station, truck stop, Walmart, souvenir shop, renaissance festival, gathering place all rolled into 1. You can get local chili, sausages, dried meats, tacos, bbq, rubs, Christmas ornaments, beach gear, turkey legs, bags of ice. It’s like the DMZ, where everyone everywhere takes a pit stop and the fighting stops. Heck even realists and optimists can let the debate over coffee without keyboard wars.

These suckers are yuge. And in the middle of nowhere. The one in New Braunfels has 120 fueling stations, 1,000 parking spots, 80+ toilets, 80+ soda dispensers, 30 cash registers.. Katy location has a 225 foot long car wash station. Even with all these humans around after loading up on aforementioned fluids and tacos during their road-trips, the restrooms are renowned to be immaculate.

It is good money, but man you will have to earn it.

 

[volbeast33]

yes, they also said that Tim Banks isn't going anywhere and they're going to try to keep as much of the staff as possible

Thats going to make for a depressing off season for some of our fans.

gonna have to do it next yr anyways. Might as well get started on finding a solution.

I agree but we all may as well get the hell over it.

We were asking a staff to make a filet mignon and potatoes au gratin out of McDonald's ingredients.

I would rather get the win and work on his replacement in the off-season

Yeah dude, we have them too now.

I agree…. Besides the SC game…. I feel the staff did a good job….. finished fifth in the sec in ppg allowed.

So maybe the not going to class thing was a real thing.

 

[LA Vol]

UT always wanted three years of stability and structured contracts accordingly. So unless CJH feels he can upgrade over someone who just isn't working out, the default is to let it ride.

 

[volinokc]

Us too .. Chicago and Baltimore, but those folks are clueless and buttholes .. they mainly moved here because it’s cheaper and like to b!tch about everything Tennessee lol.. it gets old

That must be how the people here in OK feel about me. I’m constantly talking about how much better Tennessee is. Then again, I do have a point. Taxes here are absurd, and it’s flat and boring. Also, the football teams suck.

We really are our own worst enemy a LOT of times. But I wouldn’t go against us.

We’ve had enough good performances out of the defensive staff to give me hope, but also enough bad performances to leave me worried.

Next season should be Banks’ best roster yet, provided we hit on a few portalers. Fingers crossed.

I did a little nanana Tennessee is better when I lived in Louisiana, but I learned quickly to keep it to myself .. but the next person who asks me where to get a coney or the best deep dish pizza or delicatessen, they’re going to get slapped lol

 

[zhangliao04]

Had a second chance. Was doing good, I thought. Oh well.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Today is all about the USA

Let’s go!!!! Must win.

What time is the game on today?? ️

 

[LA Vol]

Unfortunately, not uncommon with kids who know they're moving on and don't take advantage of every opportunity. Frowned upon at UT, but some just don't "school."

Unless we’re saying the media is smarter than the consumers (are we saying that?), then it’s really consumer trends at fault. Consumers of media are the ones seeking and sometimes paying a subscription for inside info. Consumers are the ones who give more attention to the media they claim to hate, then blame the media.

I’m not trying to defend the media but they are a business just like any business. Their model is to get the most interaction. Consumer trends give them the data on what drives that interaction.
