Mountain Dew in those old green glass bottles straight out of the store cooler were so good back in the day. My aunt and uncle had and old country store with one of those floor model soft drink coolers and I'd get a bottle of Mountain Dew for .15 cents. They were great on a hot summer day.
I don't know if it is still common knowledge, but Mountain Dew was actually founded/created on Cherry Street in Knoxville.

Don't believe that fake Knoxville tourist crap. It's Johnson City born and raised

My buddy sent me the info this afternoon as I hadn’t seen it yet. I had the same thoughts as you. If you think you’re worth more, then prove it. I was certainly impressed by his athleticism, but I wasn’t wow’d by it. My verdict on Nico is still out there, as I feel like he’s got a lot of growing up to do, both in the game and in leadership capabilities, and this latest action proves the latter.

Personally I feel he needs to focus on improving his weaknesses (ie accuracy, especially with the deep ball) and less time pushing for more dollars. But I’m also not a 20 year old kid with $10M dangling in front of me from some other SEC school.

He needs to first prove his current value, thus far we have seen nothing spectacular! This is getting out of hand!

Who leaked it you think?

The On3 reporter. Without any evidence. Maybe just guessing. Right before the spring game. To upset our fans.

We don't even know what the original deal was. The Athletic article was a hit piece. Right? The weren't bragging on us. The source was supposedly an agent with everything to gain from overstating the numbers. Just chill.

Agents and NIL but mostly agents. If cfb doesn’t get a handle on this they’ll lose a large portion of the fanbase. Between this and a madness free March, college sports are losing their magic. Take away the love fans and alumni have and all that’s left is an inferior product to pro leagues.

I don’t think Nico is going anywhere or that he even intends to but this and every other agent pulling this on fanbases around the country damages enthusiasm and support.

Yeah, but now things are EqUItaBLe! So it’s all okay.

Sounds like parties realized this was about to get Hella outta hand with the fanbase and or ON3 should get the ban hammer. I think the CBS article suggesting Nico should be cautious could have been a nudge from our side potentially. A lot of this stuff is agents working reporters. IMO JMO puts on flack jacket.
