So let me get this straight:
  • DW tries to renegotiate the Nike contract.
  • Nike won’t budge because they think we’re only worth $5M a year.
  • Adidas steps in with one of the largest endorsement deals in college history at $20M per year (per DW).
  • Adidas hands full creative control to the Tennessee Athletic Department.
  • Adidas also starts to work on undisclosed NIL deals for current and future Vol athletes, entirely separate from our own NIL program.
And yet… Negavols will still find a way to 💩 on this because they’re convinced the jerseys will somehow suck 😂

Happy Thursday

August 14, 2025: When you feel discombobulated, go back to the last time you felt intact and solid, and begin again. It is the enemy that wants you to feel unhinged. God is with you to bring you to a place of solid ground emotionally, mentally, and physically. Draw near to the Lord, and find your safe haven. Psalm 46:1-4 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.

I dunno if it’s been discussed, I’m sure it has, but - Adidas has done well with the Miami Hurricane jerseys so I’m all for Adidas.

The biggest issue with adidas before was that they took too long to conform to all the new jersey tech.

Design and control was an issue, but we maintain control and the same UT team doing Nike jerseys will be doing Adidas. I trust DW and UT.

Enjoy the ride and embrace/buy the aididas products. Being chosen as the flagship brand of one of the international Big Three in the industry is big time! UT and DW have pulled off a legendary, elite deal. The product quality will be high because UT gets major design and quality control input.

Nike and UA already had their flagships. My Nike stuff exits the closet next year. I always preferred UA's stuff over them anyway. Now I am 100% committed to aididas. Respect my decision. 😀

I'd be ok with the low end estimate. 35-13 for 3,800 @ 60% and a 155 rating. I hope he keeps the ints under 10 though.

Really? If he throws 35 touchdowns, our defense is as good as last year or better and our running game is anywhere close to last year, would you really care? Especially if those 13 interceptions were associated with

17-0 🤠

News Flash: If you really care if Tennessee is a Nike or Adidas school you're eating too much soy.

Individuals may get pissy but winning is all that matters to me. I really don't care about what the Uniforms look like..

Rather win wearing ugly uniforms over losing wearing beautiful uniforms.

Sorry I am late

August 9, 2025: You will have a tendency to overreact to a current situation, but you must keep your emotions in check before you can see things as they really are. You will have to make some changes, but they will be incremental. Find a place of peace in the midst of potential chaos. Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

This was written with VN in mind! Thank you Lord. 😇

If it's Aguilar I hope we announce it tomorrow.

If Syracuse's staff is dumb enough to waste time watching Aguilar play in a completely different offense I think that's a great sign for us.

Well of course they will because all QBs have tendencies. They’ll try to pick those up and see if he resorts to the same tendencies

Bowie also was a musical savant, stopping short of genius. I have no idea about Sinatra.

I like Sinatra but he is nowhere as enigmatic as Bowie in my mind. Watched a Bowie doc once. One of those boyhood musical genius types.

Also the creativity, inventiveness both from vocals to rythym, to beat, and lyrics. You can see or hear the perfectionism and escapism in the music.

The biggest thing that Sinatra had?

Mob connections. Otherwise he would have been just another lounge act.
