If UT were to go the GM route, who would be a good candidate? Saw a stat that almost 70% of schools have this role right now.

The way UT's athletic programs are on fire across the board right now, I wouldn't change anything.

Mustard, chili, onions. That’s as American as it gets. Ketchup? No thanks. That’s reserved for fries or burgers.

Pretty sure thats the most sane take ive ever seen you have on here.

We got ourselves a good ole fashioned condiment fight.

I was at that game and can say without a doubt that was the worst officiating I’ve ever seen in person. The SEC wanted the BCS bowl money and was simply not going to let us win that game. Plus the nonsense from Kiffin with the 20 plus fake injuries was ridiculous. Actually it’s a miracle that someone didn’t get seriously hurt as that game was criminal. Atmosphere was electric and the SEC literally ruined it.

Yep, I was there as well and agree. I was surpised they let me in there with a bottle of mustard.

I want to know how you all had the foresight to take mustard bottles and golf balls into that game?

I still say Frenchs should of somehow capitalized on all that pub..mustardchuker on bottle or something for the South.

Let’s see how JA handles some pressure! That 4-6 weeks would be yuge with the limited time he has before the season starts.

Is Thomas officially in the portal, or is this a play for a bump in pay?

Probably asked for a pay increase and was to no, next step, portal. Need to get used to this type of stuff going forward.

@mrmax86 you ever tried a website like this? I wonder if it could do something with the stuff you keep in spreadsheets?

I watched that earlier. Seems like you could do pretty much anything with it.

What’s really going to hurt is when fans start checking out because rosters change every year, and it feels more like free agency than college athletics. If schools and players aren’t careful, they’ll lose the very thing that made college sports profitable in the first place: fan loyalty. No fans = no money, plain and simple.

Eventually, the market will correct itself, but by then, the damage might be done.

When fans start staying home, things will get done. TV money runs most sports, and they don't want to show half empty stadiums in primetime.

How many were walk-ons, how many do we ultimately sign out of the portal, and where are we landing on the total number of scholarship players on the roster? That matters a lot more than those numbers you posted.

Wow. What the hell? How are both basketball teams utilizing the portal well and football is…not?

How many scholarships do we have left? You do realize we brought in incoming freshman and many of those were gitshirts because if the freshman
