The issue has nothing to do with being an "alter boy" off the field. It's not that he gets into situations that he shouldn't be in or is in places he shouldn't be. His issues were not following team standards. Not taking his team responsibilities seriously. Thinking he is above the rules because of his talent. That is different.

I agree with all of that. However, I'm of the opinion that all of that is a TEAM issue to be handled internally, and it's not helpful for fans to nitpick everything he does moving forward when it's beneficial to both the kid and the program for him to get his head screwed on right and perform to his capabilities. It's entirely possible, even likely, that Mom and his so-called Agent got in his head that playing for Deion and going both ways would somehow be better for his career. Now, however, he needs to see the wisdom of staying put in a stable program with actual COACHES, no matter their race, who can help him grow. I just get sick of fans writing him off and assuming he's gone. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't.

Is that the new term for a trans person?

Man I didn't realize AC left 8 wide open to jump the other WR. Quite the risk, but it paid off so clearly his instincts were right.

When I scrub the video it looks like Carter is right with WR8 and Hood is in a position to break on that throw, too. QB looks to that throw first. When QB turns he head (and resets his feet?) to the receiver that he will throw to in the center, AC bolts straight to where the ball will go and deflects it.

Stephen Jones Confirms Arkansas Won't Get Dime of NIL Money from Jerry Jones

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — There's little doubt Jerry Jones and his family have had a close relationship with the University of Arkansas and its athletics program. T

He seems to be throwing his weight behind an unrealistic candidate given it sounds like he's prohibited from buying players for Arkansas. If that's not just an invented excuse because Jerry Jones is stingy.

Man, Billy took the same 6-7 plays to Miami this year that the DC said got him beat last year. And that DC is on the staff at LSU this year which also seemed to have Billy figured out offensively. How is it going to pop, my brother? Is he adding an eighth play? Will your OL give you enough time to pull it off?

Hey Vol Fam,

So I've been hoping I could manage on my own but I'm realizing that I can't. Nearly 6 years of full time caregiving and Brian's disability as our only source of income have put me in a hole that I can't climb out of on my own as much as I've tried to. Before his death I was saving to either fix or buy a new (well used) car but the funeral home took what I had saved. Disability was also kind enough to remove his final check from our account.

I need a car (or to fix mine - tho mine has been totaled once already) so I can find a job and I need to figure out how to live/survive without income while I do all that. And because the house fire happened just before Brian got sick, it's not like I have any possessions I can sell or pawn for cash. I literally own two pairs of shoes right now and both were given to me as were most of the clothes I own. My entire world was him 24/7 for years and now that he's gone I'm adrift in every since of the word. I feel a deep loss of purpose and an absolute panic when looking to the future.

People have told me to not worry about the future right now -- to just mourn but how can I do that? I wasn't even able to give him the send off he deserved. And right now, I feel the weight of the loss in general and right now specifically the loss of support - someone at least to bounce ideas off of or to tell me that no matter what it'll be ok even if it won't be.

There are things I need to do -- I want to take a course so I can maybe teach overseas for a year and then save for maybe an ABSN that would give me a new career path and options. But I also just need to be able to get out of this room and do some things for the sake of my sanity -- away from all the memories good and bad that are stored here and I can't even do that beyond taking a walk and then I'm right back here again surrounded by memories and a ghost. I feel like I'm drowning in sorrow when I look around me and not having even the simplest means only makes it worse.

I'm rambling and embarrassed at the situation I find myself in but no one pays caregivers that are family members (well, unless you're either taking care of a child or a senior). I'm in desperate need of help and I suck at asking for it. Advice? Resources? Thoughts?

Is Charles playing better than either of our two guys? I haven't even noticed him when watching Virginia play but I forgot he was there. Thomas would be able to help us this year, but spending less at safety allows us to do ridiculous things like stack NFL defensive backs and linemen.

I don't know. Had 5 tackles in each of the last two games.

We are just really thin and it would be nice to have one more vet like Charles. I get why he left for a starting role, but Jakobe's decision is still dumb to me. Both would have played a lot.
