Hell man, all the “insiders” have been wrong. I’m just saying that his streak is pretty strong. So if it’s all guesswork, for a troll, I’m impressed.

I've followed him for quite awhile. I've seen nothing I find real impressive. Some things he posts have already been predicted by folks other than him, so it's really not that wild he gets things right. But you have to understand, I wish everyone did, this guy is a PARODY account. He's not even pretending to be a legitimate news outlet. He's just collecting lots of giggles whenever he's found himself treated as such. Mercy, Saturday Down South picked up a RGW tweet and reported it as if it were fact. Now, whatever you think of RGW, that's just highly irresponsible. I thought it was hilarious and I bet that guy did too. Or lady. I'm not just going to assume it's a guy running that thing. Might not even be one person.

Danny let him get away too.

I saw someone in the Titans thread suggest gathering the Adams and tarring and feathering them at centerfield of Nissan Stadium but they suggested it wasn't possible. I figure with a big enough crowd we could get it done and then head to Knoxville for Danny White next.

I've fought multiple battles on here for Glen Elarbee...I've had his back since he stepped foot on campus. And, I will continue to do so, because I believe he's a hell of an OLine coach...his OLines have been solid to outright great from day 1. Thought they played fairly well the other night.

With that said, why in the hell is he rotating offensive lineman?? I lost some hair the other night because I want someone to answer...why on our first scoring drive, we had the combination of the five we were going to start the season with, went down, scored. Then oN THE SAFETY, IT WAS A DIFFERENT COMBINATION???!!!🤬🤬🤬

Glen, if you're reading, I love ya, man; but..WTF, dude?!!?

Sorry. Still not over it. Fvking Bama. I'll be fine by Saturday.

I have not fought any battles on behalf of Glen Elarbee. I don’t think he’s at all worth fighting for.

He’s probably an ok OL Coach.
We could probably do a lot better.

He definitely wouldn’t be here if he wasn’t Josh’s boy.

here are another few things Florida has that FSU seemingly doesn't.

-A corrupt administration that put a career politician in the presidents seat who was so corrupt he was forced to resign amist investigations into wanton spending
-A booster collective that seems way more interested in donating to projects that reduce the capacity of The Swamp than to NIL to buy players
-A division between the administration and boosters that led to public reports the UAA's hand was being forced by boosters to fire Napier after the MSU game win or lose. (FSU boosters and admin are still on same page as of yest.)
-No permanent president
-An AD so unpopular with the fan base an out-going interim president extended him as his last act prior to carrying the last box of his stuff to his car which was released as a Friday night news-dump the day before the season kicked off.
- A shadow AD operating behind the scenes pulling strings (who puts his name on banners) and the public-facing AD who is just a fundraiser.

That may all be true. It’s almost like the entire Program/AD is in disarray 🤷‍♀️

I still maintain Florida has more resources and advantages.

AD’s are replaceable…this is essentially the saban of baseball being allowed to walk..it wouldn’t have mattered what AD bama plugged in. Saban would still be winning and that’s what matters.same case here great coaches who fit the culture are rare…DW diverting funds that TV earned from nothing is crazy.when TV got here the LV’s were ranked.
basevols were at the bottom of the barrel in baseball.

I can understand TV frustration..TV has earned everything that’s came to him including NIL donations…in my opinion Kim Caldwell was doing just fine in recruiting.makes no sense why you would want to take a chance on rocketing that boat especially if he didn’t run it by him first.

The department just invested over $100 million in facilities upgrades and pay TV the second highest salary (Johnson just passed him).

There is a video in the baseball forum from someone I don’t know. He appears to be a donor and claims sources. He said yesterday he thought DW had made a mistake. Today, he says there is more to it, and TV seems to be asking for something that really isn’t attainable. The video is lengthy.

TV just had a top portal class and recruited the #1 high school class with whatever he’s been given. I would love for him to get all the money he can get. But if we are just being honest with finite money, TV can be the one coach at our school that can recruit with a little less money.

Also, Adidas apparently wants LV basketball to get better (probably with Candace there). They are a blue blood that most would like to see win titles again. We are still very much supporting baseball with that in mind.

Man I gotta stay away from the baseball forum. They’re making the FF seem sane. Apparently Danny White is Public Enemy #1. The toxicity with this fanbase is just embarrassing.

Baseball forum is a good place with good people. I frequent there as much as here. Many of them have been fans back before the Delmonico days even. Just hard to fathom potentially losing a generational coach like Tony. Here’s to hoping!🤞🏻

The baseball team is on the verge of losing the best coach in the sport. Cut ‘em some slack. And nobody really did anything but post a Jared Dickey tweet.

TV landed the #1 recruiting class, a monster portal class, and has like 8 top 100 players committed for 2027.

Yet people want to believe he doesn’t have NIL. I don’t get it?

No one is “letting” TV walk. It’s an opportunity to manage at the highest level. Super type As want that. See Saban leaving LSU to coach in the NFL.

That’s what I believe it is too. A chance to coach at the highest level.


Some coaches do end up regretting it.

Pitino regretted leaving Kentucky for the NBA.

Saban regretted leaving LSU for the NFL.

Vitello may end up being the same. Who knows?

Sometimes you don’t realize everything you have is directly in front of you.

Has it ever actually been confirmed that resources were diverted from baseball and sent to the Lady Vols?

All I've seen to this point is rumors.
