I really try not to give a crap about recruiting anymore...I usually just say "we get who we get"...but dang I was hoping to snag that RB....I never get my hopes up much anymore, I've got too much scar tissue from being screwed over by these kids over the years.

I hope we get Keys...badly...but I will believe it when I see it.

Can you imagine our offense with OSU type talent at every freaking position?...we would probably set records that would never be beaten.

I hear you brother

I do think we are in for a treat this year on offense and my eternally optimistic ass thinks it’ll spike our recruiting for the end of ‘26 and ‘27 classes

This conference lives in dies on the line of scrimmage and we may have the best collectively between OL and DL. It will open up a lot of opportunity for coach to draw it up big

Ok I'm not doing it.

Nevermind

Just watched another Joey Swaguilar full game and....he really looks like a better QB than Hendon. Ints can equalize them, but he is more dynamic as a passer. He's easily way better than Joe or Nico.

I think the continual ticket price increases and general nickel and diming by the AD is only going to put added pressure on the program. Fans are going to expect top end results for paying top dollar. This would be on the field and in recruiting. Top 5 classes are going to be expected and also competing for SEC and national championships. Right now, we are doing neither. I believe seasons like last year won’t be good enough moving forward the way it’s headed. JMO.

We already expect that. If we were willing to pay more for less before, no reason not to keep testing that limit. It’s Danny’s job to do that, and bring championships to Knoxville if he can. So far he’s doing both.

I do believe that typically multiple top 5 classes are needed to win a title in this day and age of college football. Tall task going up against the pockets of the texases and osus of the world. And at some point heupel is going to need to put together a championship season. We are probably 4-5 years from that seat being allowed to get hot barring an inexplicably bad season.

All Heupel needs is the right ingredients....I've been watching last seasons and the year before games all off season, and I think the people that think Heupel has been "figured out" are stupid and blind.

I know that teams playing that shell defense has caused some problems, but there are still dudes running wide open every game....Joe and Nico just either couldn't hit them when they did see them...or just outright not see them...the right QB would have had Hooker type numbers even with the defensive adjustments.

Hell...last year's Bama game for example should have been a absolute blowout...but Nico totally sucked the whole first half....and last year's Florida game should have been a comfortable victory, but he was playing so scared he couldn't see the open guys.

The absolute fact is that Joe and Nicos passing deficiencies really really hampered both play calling and execution of passing plays..the plays are still there...we just need somebody that can see and execute them.

I hope Joey A is that guy.

No I do not...they are toxic poisonous cancerous pathetic miserable blights on the ass of Volunteer fandom...I have grown to hate them as much or more in some cases than our rivals fans.

I call the LoTM the Idiot Margin...but both names describe the morons to a tee.

Hey now...I lived on a hill in Kinsport (well, Colonial Heights). And we didn't get no damn Antenna. Three to Four channels and be happy ya got that. Thank the lord for my Atari 2600.

Bloomingdale for me. The antenna we had was gigantic. Probably 10 feet long and 5 feet wide. Had 2 dozen elements. It was rated for 250 miles. Thank goodness for Radio Shack.

I wrecked it one year pretending I was a UT punter (Neil Clabo) and launched a football through the middle of it. Let's just say the Emperor was not too pleased with his apprentice. Lol.
