[Jackcrevol]

Not all narcissists are politicians, but all politicians are definitely narcissists.

Ament to that.

Not sure why everyone is so down on WR and OL..young and inexperienced WRs and 2 solid OL tranfers with ton of depth, but for all we know we could be better.

It’s more of a # for me. We return Brazzell who had 300ish receiving yards last year, MM and Stayley who had 90 combined receiving yards, and 3 freshmen. We do have amari jefferson, but he’s never played a snap and has hip issues. People love to say “but boo carter” but we have no idea how much he’d play there, for all we know he could be like Dee Williams and only take 2 snaps at wr a game if that

Facts. Going 2 months without a commit and dropping 9 spots during this time is not good

I'm hearing we may be getting a quarterback or we may not and that it may or may not happen within the next week or so. Don't shoot the messenger or go ahead and shoot the messenger

 

[BigSteve09]

AP said last night that they can't report on any Vols interest with QBs unless they are in the portal

But we working on something

 

[JT3]

Best of luck to this kid. Wasn't going to see the field here.

 

[Brillovol]

That’ll be $9.99

 

[Orangeburst]

That’ll be $9.99

or 258,700 Vietnamese Dong

Xbox X with game pass (and I’m assuming the hospital would keep the subs up) is a really great idea for pediatric hospitals (and fwiw regular hospitals too). I love the PS5 but for anyplace other than at home, game pass makes a system worth for institutions. PlayStation’s subscription model isn’t nearly as good.

 

[Devo182]

I don't feel Altmier is very realistic. Out of the realistic options I would put Joey Aguilar at the top of the list.

Unfortunately we gotta wait for Great Value Jerry Maguire to get done negotiating with UCLA for that to play out.

Dear lawd taking UCLA's future backup would be peak irony.

Let's just not

I hope so. Alot better than the 3rd stringer from ND.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Nico’s camp was also pushing about the OL and WR, this was rumored back in December as part of his “new deal”

Reality is, they didn't give 2 squirts of dog piss if the OL, WR or scheme was changed at all. They said whatever they thought would squeeze more money out of the Vols.

I salute you mr sleeveless tee blowing your hard earned weekly paycheck on fake weed in the marijuana store. No one was planning to hold you up, but fortunately your personalized gun holster and open cary says you're prepared for the .00001 chance, worst case.

You remembered pistol, but forgot your wallet. Cheers amigo.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Next time your wife is angry, drape a towel over her shoulders like a cape and say...“Now you're Super Angry!”

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Just talked to a nice young tattooed lady in a miniskirt and 8" heels down off Magnolia and Cherry St. She said at least two players who transfer in will have worn orange last year too.

sounds like Erwin.
I never understood why people open carry. Why advertise that you're armed? If you're going to carry, keep it concealed.

 

[Devo182]

Am I the only one not stressing over or even excited about a Transfer QB?

I'd be happy with an experienced depth piece in case of injuries.
Let Merck and Mac compete and let one or both sink or swim.
We are expected to take a step back anyway in a tough schedule. So they get experience and maybe exceed expectations. Next year, they will already have been battle tested and can build on their experience for a run.

I mean, I had some hopes originally, but guess they were pie in the sky for such a tight window. No Az St QB. None of the others.

Remaining names feel pretty meh. And I could care less about a depth pickup...hell just bring Gaston or Navy back for that.

Maybe we still get someone, and yes it's probably a small pickup from a true FR or inexperienced 2nd yr guy. Even Altmeyer would at least bring a lot of experience...but I don't see any of the names, with our current gaps, returning us to the playoffs. At this point I'm hoping to keep our floor at a decent level - 7-5 min, 8-4 would be just fine and put a smile on my face for our "rebuild" season...when it was our peak for 15 years.

2026 and on are going to be as long as we keep recruiting well.

I believe her.
