Boo Carter set a really bad precedent for the team. He threatened to leave as a leverage play for more $, and got it. Now RGIII is doing the same thing. If he gets his way, im worried more players will start to do that to get more $

it's only gonna happen more and more.........

Yea, I never would've thought Elijah Simmons could dunk a basketball...

Refrigerator Perry could as well at 390, freaks.

Wow. I looked up Mickey Thompson mudders and this is what popped up. . . I didnt know this.

Mickey Thompson and his wife Trudy were murdered in their Bradbury, California home in the early morning of March 16, 1988. The crime was carried out by two hooded gunmen who fled on bicycles. The gunmen were never identified.
How the murders occurred

• The gunmen waited for the couple to leave for the day
• • Thompson opened the garage door for his wife to leave
  • The gunmen shot and wounded Thompson, then dragged him into the driveway
  • One gunman killed Trudy as she backed out of the garage
  • The other gunman shot Thompson in the head

Legal proceedings

• • Mickey Thompson's former business partner, Michael Goodwin, was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder in 2006
  • Goodwin maintained his innocence and sought a new trial
  • Goodwin was sentenced to life in prison

Edit* I searched mickey thkmpson mudders on accident. If you spell it right, the tires come up. . .

It’s our own fault. Recruit better and deeper and they won’t have the leverage to play it that way.

This is how the game is set up. Gibson is acting selfishly, but there isnt anything he's doing against the rules. And it is a slippery slope, yet here again. It's an open porthole, and there no contracts. Gibson is first but wont be last.

Coaches and AD's can hold schools and players at bey while they negotiate. But players cannot? Again, i'm not arguing the legitimacy of a Spring porthole. I think its dumb. But feelings matter not. Here we are.

'Let 'em walk.' You're talking about a starting CB. Our other starter is out, and we dont know when he'll be back, if at all.

Now, bigger picture. Someone needs to stand up and close the spring porthole.

You're correct in both aspects. Gibson is being greedy but isn't breaking any rules. The days of loyalty to a University by players will be very few these days and times. NIL has opened a can of worms that can't be controlled. Curious why the ones who wanted the players to be financially compensated are the ones complaining about loyalty.?

Wow.

Boo was completely different. Time and place has everything to do with this instance. Boo waited till end of year and wanted to play both sides of ball.

Not gonna knock Gibson for trying to get paid. As a fan it sucks though. No fun to watch happen.

Sometimes, I think it’s shortsighted too. More money now isn’t necessarily the best move. May not end up in as good a situation with people you like and appreciate you. Just look at Aidoo. You know that guy wishes he was still in orange at this point.

Vols play Oklahoma State at 4:05 p.m. in the Houston Classic. Games supposedly can be streamed on Astros.com and Houston Astros on You Tube for free. I suppose we will see.


No Vols are participating at the NFL combine today it's the DB's and TE's day.

Are there still some drills for DL and LBs that didn’t get finished last night? I don’t see a lot of they guys times in the short shuttle and 3 cone drill, not any bench press numbers

Some individuals didn't do all the drills. Maybe the Bench press will be done non televised... I just know the schedule states it's the DB's and TE's today...

Has to be the pinnacle of mohawks.

Spelling is not my strong suit and the internet has no mercy. I looked up a hot rod company ”Harewood” years ago, misspelled it “Hardwood”

We really just need a wholesale change to the transfer portal, college athletics, and eligibility rules ASAP. I’m getting exhausted by the constant contradictions. For context, although Pavia has been ruled eligible, this morning a judge denied the waiver for a Georgia baseball player. It’s not looking good for Alberto Osuna.

Personally, I actually support the NCAA here, because I’m tired of seeing 25-28 year olds in college sports. BUT, it makes zero sense that one judge can say Pavia is eligible and another can say this Georgia baseball player is ineligible, in cases that are almost carbon copies of one another.

How can eligibility rules be deemed “non-commercial” for the Georgia player, but the opposite be true for Pavia? Just exhausting.

Fidrych was entertaining, I think you could add Luis Tiant and Joaquin Andujar also.

It’s how federal courts work. Different district court judges can reach a different conclusion. If appealed, it will go to the circuit court. Tennessee and Georgia are in different circuits so the circuit courts could still reach different results. Then it could bubble up to the Supreme Court for ultimate resolution.

I’m well aware how courts work. That’s my entire point. This piece-meal approach to college athletics where different rules apply in different jurisdictions is unhealthy for the sport. It’s not just eligibility rules, it’s the entire ecosystem that has no uniformity.

I guess you better get busy reworking our whole legal system.
