TN leads for Nate Ament

You can take Branham information to the bank. Ament will shine here

Not hard for me to believe we won't land a start QB from the portal. We may be used for pay raises, but I can easily see us being put in the situation where Merc of Mac are the QB next season.

Why does most on here think Merk won’t be any good?

 

[Orange.]

Maybe if we can get Steve Lattimer as our S&C coach or as an "analyst". . .

They don't know...

Demond Williams from Washington might be in the mix…someone on X had a screenshot Demond shared of our workout room.

That was a joke done by some Oregon fans.

@Checker_the_Shire ish is cooking. Stay busy working IMO.

Yeah, was thinking it might be. Couldn’t find the IG picture or story myself.

Fake news IIRC debunked

 

[DD4ME]

Use the Nico $$$ on other positions and ride with Merk & Mac…..
They were both hand picked by CJH to play QB. Time to play.

Need depth tho

 

[DD4ME]

Oh man - cannot fathom

 

[DD4ME]

In a way he is right - just not the way he thinks

 

[scienceteaching_vol]

We used to watch this movie before football games in high school to get pumped up. Love it!

 

[screenthis]

Yea, don't want to roll with just two options. Those QBs tend to get smacked around.

 

[Vols4us]

I would be fine to ride with GMac. Let him grind over the summer and win the job in fall.

No question in my mind that G-Mac is the way to go. The grass is greener on our own side already.

I heard our transfer qb is a current ParaOlympian and will be the first D1 quarterback to play the position from a wheelchair. He can check the rock 50 yards with the flick of a wrist and has been clocked at a 4.5 40 live. $2million a year in NIL money the rumored contract.

You heard it here first.

Based on what I'm told, this is not true, but I can't rule anything out. It's obviously a very fluid situation. We should have some answers by next Friday at the latest.

Link???

 

[UTgrad2015]

Why haven’t we hired a GM yet? Seems like a great idea

 

[Sandman Vol]

Does a player have to be in the portal to be contacted or does the portal window just need to be open?

The former, officially.

Unofficially:

Yw

Then he was making about 1.25mm here.

Taking out taxes...then saying "he wanted 4mm" is kinda silly...muddling post-tax vs pre-tax.

So he was hoping to make closer to 2.4-2.5mm post-tax.

 

[KB5252]

Was thinking the exact same thing.

Ok guys sorry I haven't been giving updates, but it's been a busy day. UT is being careful to avoid "tampering" accusations, so cards are being played close to the chest, but here's what I know:
- Options are limited with only 4 months until the season begins, but Tennessee WILL have a starting quarterback in 2025.
- I can't give you any names, but Heupel has evaluated some options.
- If Heupel gets his guy, an announcement will be made when things are finalized.

GBO!

Well, that was certainly Breaking News. Thanks for the newsflash that somebody will be lined up behind the center to take snaps this year. Many of us were really concerned about that.

Friday derives from dies Veneris. That’s “day of Venus” in Latin.

you mean to tell me we’re going to have Venus as our QB?

I’ve seen enough. 15-0 incoming. No way anybody is gonna stop a team with a frickin' planet at QB.
