We all still love Tennessee, it is a part of who we are..we don't love this stupid 💩...surely you understand that?

This is traumatic...especially after everything we've been through the last 20 years...and then things start looking brighter...only to get sucker punched by a greedy pos Judas QB.

If that douchebag does end up staying by some miracle...the fanbase is going to absolutely annihilate him the first time he sucks.

I don't see how he can stay at this point...this has to he one of the all-time dumbest moves. Now no matter where he goes, if...or when...he struggles at all that fanbase is going to destroy him because of all this.

Nah, he can’t stay now. He’s lost the respect of the team most importantly. And he wouldn’t be able to handle the pressure from this fanbase. This is a mistake that’ll follow him for a while. It’s hard to build back character.

If this goes down like it seems like it will. Wouldnt surprise me in the least to see others on offensive side roll with him. This is just crap for the team, and for the coaches. How can you build and keep a roster when your players have everything to gain and nothing to lose?

Every high profile receuiting miss now stings more than ever. An offense that cant afford to lose anyone, may:

Don’t you think if this is true, the coaches would have planned for a mass exodus by players going with Nico? Their salaries depend on it.

If UT could pull a great QB, that would be crazy good. However, our worry would turn to Merk and/or GM transferring. I’m about to start hating this damn transfer portal. It giveth and taketh.

Depends. If it’s a one year guy I doubt either transfer as they weren’t expecting to start this year anyways

This is what happens when you let the inmates run the asylum. No ground rules to anything. Portal should be you can transfer without Penalty for 1 year and each sit out a year next time you portal out, the money grabbing isn't just the players but their handlers as well are a huge factor. As many have said binding contracts is the way you stop this nonsense.

On the off chance he stays it’s because his team and coach welcomed him back. We would be wise to do the same. But it’s unlikely he’s back at this point

Gotta admit I’m shocked how united the fanbase and media are on this. Haven’t seen a single person say UT should give in.

The only one I've heard like that, was a caller named Steve (not the one from Lexington). He was on the Swain Event earlier saying "you've got to pay Nico or he'll leave and we'll be back in purgatory". Then he said something like "Heupel will get disgusted and take a year off and we'll be back in purgatory". Then Steve contradicted himself about having to pay players and it confused Ward, Swain, me, and anyone else listening. JS was talking sense to the guy but he just kept saying "who we gonna get?" and "we'll be back in purgatory"......it was crazy talk. And then Rhonda (AKA @Orangeredblooded) called wanting to fight. Josh and Swain had their hands full today. It was awesome. 🤣

Depends. If he comes by himself a and apologizes that he let people around him talk their way into him making a mistake but he decided he’s his own man wants to be here, then apology accepted and move on. But that’s a big if
