Yep. Ticket price increase is such a small factor for me. The real cost of going to a game is dealing with the traffic afterwards lol

back in 2015 (I believe it was the last year he did it) there was a boat taxi you could take from the south side of the river over to the steps by the Vol Navy. There is an apartment complex there with a free parking lot and everything. I think he charged like $15 a person. Biggest cheat code ever. Why someone doesn't take up that business and charge $50 a person I'll never understand.

I'm willing to come back and say I was wrong about Stockton if he is horrible this season but if he isn't are the ones on here willing to say the same. That they were wrong?

Do you want him to be good so you can be right?

I too think he will be at least solid, not as good as Beck at his best, and I sure don't think he we be a total pain in the azz like Stetson B.

I am not sure what I expect from him...it wouldn't surprise me for him to play really well, but it wouldn't surprise me for him to be mediocre either.

I think Nico's biggest flaw was not being on time. He threw to the right receiver too late a million times. It drove me crazy listening to people talk about Nico throwing into tight windows, he made the tight windows. A lot of times the receiver was wide open and Nico would hold the ball too long and give the defender a chance to make up the ground.
How many times did we watch Hooker hit wide open receivers? He made his job a lot easier by delivering the ball on time.

The national media talking heads don‘t SEE what Tennessee fans SAW all last year. That we won in spite of Nico. He left TDs all over the field in multiple games and missed a wide open receiver in the back of the end zone against Arkansas 😡
Will we have a better season this year than last year🤷🏼‍♂️ but I for one will not miss the “master of the deep throw”😵‍💫

Hell...half of our fanbase didn't even see or realize what was happening...they go on and on and on about Heupel being "figured out"...people are either too stupid blind to see what was really happening, or too lazy to go and look.

Heck...I've even seen idiot "analysts" that people here vouch for breaking down film on YT showing how Heupel was "figured out" with the film literally showing one of the WRs running open...it blows my mind.

RB we are more than fine at, Hiter was a luxury-and a great one at that. Keys is a need. We need more playmakers at WR and Keys would be that guy. Hopefully we can land him

The only good thing coming out of the Hiter snub is that it just may keep some of our really good RB's out of the portal

Too soon :) :)

Okay, maybe that wasn't fair, just frustrating to see this and was unexpected.

Let me say this and leave it be - just because you've done something your whole life and its the way you were taught to handle it doesn't make it right and/or doesn't mean there aren't alternative solutions.

I hunt and trap. I trap foxes (I have a red pelt on my wall). I do nuisance trapping, too. I've helped numerous friends solve predator problems with chickens and turkeys. Controlling predators is useful and important. But there's a lot of stuff I don't do anymore because I was taught a better way or learned more info.

Here's what I do, if you're interested... I target specific animals causing a specific problem if its out of season. Certain species I'll typically check with a warden first to be clear. Then in the season when I'm done deer hunting I trap to stay active and target certain predator species that we're trying to manage. But otherwise, I leave them alone. It's also cool to see them on the landscape and I always want to see them.

Some individuals of the population will never be a problem or pest for you. They'll get really good at finding a certain food source and stay out of your way. You want to keep those around and let them educate the next generation to stay away from your stuff. Studies have shown in coyotes you're actually more likely to have issues if you continually remove older members of the population because younger ones move in and get themselves in trouble.

All that to say, there's a balance to it. These predators are cool animals and they're a necessary part of the ecosystem so it's important to keep a couple hanging around doing their thing. Just maybe give more thought to it when you see them and just.... watch and see what they're doing

I think if you had come in and said “Well done, but here’s an even better idea…,” you would have had a good reception. @Volunteer821 is a great guy and avid outdoorsman. No reason to go off on him. You’re a great guy, too.
