I get the sentiment and agree it would be better to be dependent on 10k donors vs 10, but not sure that’s true in reality in this arena.

I don’t know that we have more fans than other teams, and don’t think our twitter presence is a good barometer. So once the dust settles it’s perfectly possible that the best NIL firms will still be those who have the biggest donors.

Ultimately, I’m not sure it matters how much money we have anyways. Success is the best recruiter. Figure out how to win with what we have and we’ll bring in the best of the best. Money matters to the extent that we have enough to keep up with the top dogs, but don’t know that we have to have the most. That said, I could be totally wrong. UGA spends a million more on recruiting than any other team, and that seems to be working out for them.

I agree. NIL is important, but the same teams that were recruiting at the highest levels before NIL are recruiting at the highest level still. For most of the best players, it’s not the main thing. They know NIL will follow success more than success will follow NIL.

I'm happy with life! I get pissed when UT sucks but I can leave it when I live my life outside of watching games and being on this forum. Some people are ok with being a fulltime casual fan though. You do you.

If you’re not comfortable with the Vol Club, you can still donate directly through the school.

Ex: The Football Excellence Fund

And it’s actually a deductible donation.

I’m cool with the Volunteer Club. I was referring to Spyre specifically

UT endorses them now, so what are you waiting on? They have apparel and items they send to you. There are numerous people on this board alone that vouches for the legitimacy of it. What are you waiting for?

Yep. Wear the Vol Club apparel. Have a signed HH print. Have a signed Voltello baseball, Etc., etc. The later two will be passed down to the grandsons.

I always do my due diligence. This was a no-brainer. I am happy to help these guys live better lives as they lay it on the line for our enjoyment and the school. People lay out gobs of money for junk food and sodas daily when a glass of water and a stick of celery would do wonders for their health. That blown money could go to help somebody else and pay it forward. It is a choice to make of others over self, or self over others. If you value Vol sports enough, you will pay it forward with whatever you can afford. Become a part of the solution.

8 wins in year 4 is not good enough. Butch did that here

Dude.

Not sure how old you are. But, if you're old enough to remember...after LSU beat us in 2001. Really since 2007, again when LSU beat us in SECCG, we have sucked.

I recall that feeling, sitting in Kneelind in '05, again in Atlanta in 07. Then watching that offense 'in space' in 08. Since that time we won double digits, once't. JH did that.

Man, there's been some tough losses. Like sitting in the cold, freezing my ass off watching us lose to Vandy, at home. Win whipping, aluminum like a meat locker.

There was one game that was inexcusable last year, SC. And they had our plays.

This year, Florida was inexcusable. But you saw their defensive talent versus FSU.
