I don’t think you have to be Einstein to know the narrative is out there.

Just because someone says something about my family, even if it’s true, Im not gonna perpetuate and exacerbate it to the detriment of my family.

If someone asks you a question about your family, are you going to lie or tell the truth? Donte didn't bash Tennessee. He didn't say we were horrible or that the coaching was bad. He simply told the truth. I think people bashing him are making something out of nothing.

Let them be concerned. Heupel's job is to win COLLEGE football games. NFL's job is to evaluate talent and develop that talent within their system. We were highly successful for several years running the Wing-T. Didn't translate to college but our job was to win HIGH SCHOOL football games. The good players still were recruited (even WRs and TEs) and if they went to a good college program they were developed within the context of that system. NFL people griped for years about college QBs in the gun not knowing how to take the 3/5/7 step drops. They've since changed their tune. If Dante Thornton can play, he'll play. I'd be more concerned about him being made of glass than his route tree.

Which is fine. I agree that Heupel's job is to win games. I simply stated that Dante was being truthful. My point was why bash a kid for telling the truth? He was made of glass while here, but he still put on the uniform and, as far as I know, gave his all. Some people's "all" is more than others. We have people on here saying he's not a "VFL" because he answered an interview question honestly.

A.P. has been pretty consistent that the reason they are struggling to nab a WR is that they are telling portal WR's that they would be transferring to UT as depth pieces and would be paid as such. These dudes want starter positions and starter money and we just aren't going down that route atm.

These people need to realize winter= starting and spring= depth

I'm not much of a video games guy these days, but that GTA VI looks like it's gonna be pretty, pretty good. Can't believe they're spending nearly $2,000,000,000.00 to make it.

I don't want a presidential administration to dictate how amateur athletics should be handled because then it's subject to changing every administration and it becomes a massive distraction that might get debated on instead of real-world executive political issues.

Literally a political football.

If government has to get involved let it be legislatively and codified by law so it's more stable.
