This was the moment I realized Nico may be Milton 2.0

That is completely disrespectful to Milton. All our qb's till now we're better than him.

Don't do that to Milton. Dude sat on the bench, never once complained, and gave his all for Tennessee. He should never be mentioned in the same sentence as Nico.

Milton was/is better than Nico

Not fair to Milton. He stuck around.

He’s certainly a better man.

This is akin to Danny White standing at a podium

THIS.

We lost our starting qb because someone leaked a rumor of a contract negotiation.

It doesn’t get any more fragile than that. Can’t believe we continue to fumble the bag and the management of our undeniably most important program.

Go Vols! We in this!

You can't possibly believe that, right? We lost him because he skipped practice to hold out for money.

I’ve read we likely leaked it. Because we were tired of how it was impacting admin, coaches, and the team. Many were tired of dealing with Nico’s family and the drama surrounding it all.

I read we leaked it to air it out to the court of public opinion. The rumor that Lanning called Heup that Nico’s dad was bidding him out to west coast schools also aligns with us being tired of Nico and the group around him - and ultimately was a part of resulting in, “the leak”.

It appears the family was stunned to see fans and media side with the university and coaches and he then skipped meetings and practice - sealing his own fate.

I’d say the university and coaches handled this just fine.

Is the game streaming anywhere?

We may never know the full story. But, in no way should Tn double Nico's pay if that part is true. Culture over talent all day. In Heupel I trust.

 

[The Dog]

One of my favorite players

My favorite, I wanted to be like The Wizard in 1985, not Mike. In fact, Sports Illustrated said White was the MJ of the SEC

 

[Buddy’s Bandit]

Facts

Dropping two rounds will make him undrafted.

 

[Ten_Titans]

Someone needs to call the NCAA and see if they are still interested in making Nico ineligible.

Hit em with the ole Pruitt treatment lol

 

[Orange.]

Who is Nico’s agent?

Also, that guy who posted on X before Nico’s idjit father, saying there were no negotiations, and who has some past Gayt associations (iirc): who is that guy and how long has he been “long time friends” with Nico’s idjit father?

I ready to move on, but I would like to have those two blanks filled in. GBO!

 

[Orange.]

 

[Vols And Bruins]

Wouldn’t be surprised if he leaves too, but can’t blame Tennessee for it

I could imagine that some players are seeing the hate Nico is getting and deciding to stay this year to avoid the storm

 

[Volnut]

Brazzell inactive today…

Don’t rember him being on the injury report from practice reports

 

[TheBigOne10]

Well Nico saved me at least $2,000.

Was planning to splurge on a weekend family trip to Knoxville to see Vols-Georgia, but with the QB and broader roster now in doubt, I have no desire to spend that much money.

Will watch from home, and it will be a gameday decision on whether I’m casually checking the score on my phone or carving out the time to watch it on TV.

Bro let it play out. This could easily galvanize the roster and allow them to play with the biggest chip on their shoulders imaginable. One player does not a program make.

 

[Ten_Titans]

I don't really think the NFL will care about this.

The NFL has this advanced technological achievement called contracts. They will literally never once have to deal with his dumbass handlers or parents.

I bet he's drastically overestimating his market value. He needs a team that is an average QB away from a championship to even sniff that number he wants. My guess is he and his dumbass team wrecked his image for maybe 10% more than what he was already getting.
