That's such a weird choice when, a) there are lots of better jobs open and b) you don't have to work anyway. I wonder if VT is going to give him more than the 8 mi/yr PSU owes him? If so they are off the hook completely.

Don’t back track now my friend. I was just pointing out what was incorrect. And yes, for linebackers, if the starters aren’t good enough, go spend on better players. Same with safety which has been bad.

I wish they would move Bailey back inside. Our line got way more pressure with him inside and West/Dye rushing over and over. It seemed more effective for pass rush.

But I expect our d line to eat this weekend. If garner is mad, he will have them mad and they are finally getting pretty healthy. I think the coaches would change their approach too and have taken more before the season. But I think it also helped as they have recruited their a**** off this year and they will have a monster portal class too. Next years team will be the best under Heupel and the most talented.

Agree on LB, safety being a need for port and Garner being fired up for Saturday.

Awkwardly worded but that is almost for sure what he meant. Most people (even pro baseball fans) dont follow or know hardly anything about college baseball. I think he was just trying to give context to the situation he was in here to an entirely different audience.

I think it was awkwardly worded because it came out of his mouth as “arguably the best fan base in the country”… and then he added “for who they are” as he realized he didn’t want that comment to sound like he was saying UT fans are better than Giants fans, given the audience.

I was 9 years old whenever Iron Eagle came out, my brother was 15. We watched it together; and, still to this day, it's one of the best days of my life. I remember it vividly, spending time with my older brother. Both of us LOVED it!!! It was awesome!

Whenever the sequel came out 2 years later, we planned on going and watching it together in the theater, but something came up and we never got to. Throughout these past 37 years, we've talked about it multiple times, saying we were going to sit down together and finally watch the second one...but, we never have.

He's coming to my house this weekend. I havent seen him in 10 years, almost. We were going to watch it tomorrow night. Finally, after almost 40 years.

But, now you've ruined it, hunter! Doug Masters dies at the beginning?? I've waited for almost 4 decades, and now it's ruined...and, gone. My brother is devastated. He use to get beat up, because he maintained that Iron Eagle was far superior to Top Gun. He hates Tom Cruise to this day, because Maverick is the cultural icon, and not Doug Masters. Whenever Lou Gossett Jr died, he stayed in bed for over a week. Between Iron Eagle, Firewalker, and An Officer And A Gentleman, my brother was broken up.

The Vols have to win this weekend, or this weekend will be as bad as 2 weeks ago.

Iron Eagle two sucked. That is all.

Bro been practicing (just not full drills) and it ain't meant chit on a Saturday. Doesn't this week either. Bottom line is he's 10 months removed from an ACL tear with a hell of a lot more to lose than gain. He ain't coming back till that ACL is good and ready. Maybe that is after the bye. Who knows.

The accelerated timeline/expectation to come back from his ACL injury has always been wild.

I believe he wants to play.
I also believe there are “folks” in his camp.

I think it’s more likely we don’t see him again, which is a bummer. But there’s always hope.

What if we run this gauntlet, and he returns healthy for a playoff run? That would be something.

On Ainge's show yesterday they said that his camp is telling him he probably needs to come back next year and put some play on video if he expects to go 1st round.

I wouldn’t draft him in first round at all without proving it. I mean, the Titans are dumb enough to do something like that but you can’t bank on that.

The thing that will save the Titans in this instance is that he's a UT player. They would NEVER draft a UT player in the early rounds.
