My guess is that this is nothing but a dog and pony act or at least I hope so. Tyson will help generate PPV buys and my guess is that there's a "gentleman's agreement" between the camps to keep things just a shade above a sparring session. I don't care who you are or how great an athlete you were, a man's body changes. A man that age getting hit....seriously hit...isn't a good thing. It's simply a joke....a money grab. Until folks stop paying money for this garbage, they'll keep trotting antiques with names out there for public consumption. Just a cut above rasslin' IMO.
I hope Tyson gets jarred and he forgets he's 60 and that it's a canned fight and just mauls Paul. Like full PTSD and 'Nam flashbacks.
 
Last 4 games of regular season.

Auburn at home.
Bruce Pearl is always a tough out but with Jayden Williams injured should help,plus home court for Big Orange. Give me the Vols by 8-10 points.

Alabama on road.
This should be a scoring fest Alabama has a good offense but ZERO defense.
Vols shut them down in Knoxville but at Tuscaloosa will be somewhat closer. Give Vols by 4-6 points.

South Carolina on Road.
Payback game for Vols on road. This one will be a defensive battle but like I stated earlier Tennessee was looking ahead to Kentucky. Don't believe it happens again
Give me Vols by 8-10 points

Kentucky at home.
Senior Day, chance to wrap up SEC regular season title. The Deacon and these Seniors aren't going let Kentucky spoil their day,plus once again Kentucky has no defense.
Give me Vols by 20

Yes I'm predicting 4-0 and SEC Regular season Championship which should guarantee a #1 Sed in NCAA tournament..
Vols beat UK by 20 on Saturday and you need to clear your schedule because we're headed to vegas with my retirement money.

It’s not pay per view…. you can watch it with a netflix subscription…… I will be tuned in and let you know how it goes… Tyson fought Roy Jones jr in an exhibition three years ago…. He donated all his earnings to charity.

Ah...like the Jones "fight". An exhibition. Glorified sparring for charity.
 
Dang, tight game against Southern Indiana... they must be legit or we are a bit winded... GBO!
Ask Florida about some of the midweek games....and there are others. Really it's about tinkering and making decisions. Not saying they don't take it seriously, but it's a testing ground for a lot of programs getting the deck laid out for league play.
 
Way off topic but I’m bored…

Besides Kaidon Salter - has anyone from that 2021 class that bailed on us ever became anything?

Dylan Brooks
Kaemen Marley
Miles Parker
Trinity Bell
Aaron Willis
Julian Nixon (was once rated the #1 player in Georgia)
Isaac Washington
Terrance Lewis
Demarius McGhee
Colby Smith
Katron Evans
Cody Brown
Jordan Mosley

I know not all of their careers are over - but daaaaaamn that’s a lot of nothingness.

I thought for sure Willis, Katron Evans, Dylan Brooks, and Kaemen Marley were gonna be something. And was convinced had Julian Nixon put in the work he’d be a great receiving tight end. He’s toiling around at a JUCO putting up no stats last I checked.
 
If we get the 1 seed in the west region, be prepared for an 8:30-9:00 ET start time in the sweet 16 game.
It feels like we’ve played a lot of late games this year. The team is prepared for it even if the fans aren’t. I’ll have to give my Arizona fan boss a heads up that I might not be 100% during the tournament.
