JMO, but Henry is such a physical freak that it’s not fair to include him in any RB comparison discussion. I can’t think of another RB ever with his combination of size and speed - simply a one off freak of nature. Bo Jackson would be the closest yet Henry is still 3-4” taller.

I agree with your sentiment. However, Derrick Henry does not belong in the same conversation with Bo Jackson by any measure. Bo was probably the most physically gifted, athletic, freak of nature, absolute runaway train of a running back there has ever been.

Prime Earl Campbell more apt comparison.

4 games left for the men, win out and you're 100% getting a #1 seed for the tournament could not ask to be in a better spot. Would also give them a top 4 SECT seed.

2 games left for the Lady Vols, win out and you're 100% getting a top 3 seed and hosting games as well as moving into the top 10 by end of regular season.

Baseball and Softball about to start cooking in league play this is a pretty fun time of the year for sports...oh and the NFL combine starts Thursday we've got I think 6 former Vols present.

It really is too early to speculate, but hypothetically, would you rather have a #1 seed and bad location or #2 seed and good location? Obviously brackets are more important, but just wondering.

I wonder where games are this year.

I think if Vols get #1 seed Lexington would be their destination for 1st and 2nd round games...

I think the South or Midwest brackets both would be pretty good to land in....the only one I'd not want to see as a 1 seed is West.

So a 1 seed anywhere but West would be preferred but if it came down to being the 1 seed out west OR a 2 seed in the South or Midwest I'd probably be fine with the 2 just cause I think fans would travel better for those locations than San Francisco.


Also:

South = Atlanta
Midwest = Indianapolis
East = Newark
West = San Franciso

That's where they play the Sweet 16 & Elite Eight...

1st & 2nd rounds are pretty all over the place but they try to put the 1 seed in a regional location for them.

Like if Florida is the 1 seed in the West the first round they'd play Raleigh instead of Seattle

The first and second rounds are done in pods, so it won’t necessarily match up with regional. Auburn will be the one seed in the south.

good point. So 2nd round winners can be sent anywhere and only determined on Selection Day?
