I try to stay out of this debate but I just want to point out that McCoy has been, and still is, working to get back from his ACL. If you want to classify that as prepping for an NFL career, I guess you're not technically wrong but it seems disingenuous. No one has at all indicated he's saving himself for the draft. He wore pads in practice for the first time last week. All indications are he's making progress. I'm confused as to why expectations were he'd be the fastest guy ever to return from injury at one of the positions that requires so much of the knees. It's been 10 months!

He practiced with the twos the last two weeks. Full go… And AP stated he likely won’t play today and save himself for the draft with only two games left. And he has been practicing on the field for over a month. That’s all from APs mouth and not mine. Take that as you want.

I’m a Tennessee Vols fan, first and foremost. McCoy prepping for an NFL career while giving us nothing this year doesn’t sit right if he’s well enough to do so. The asset that is to Tennessee is marginal at best.

Are we supposed to put athletes with standout sophomore and junior seniors in the infirmary now so we can protect their draft stock?

Don’t get me wrong, root for our NFL VFLs, this just irks me.

I agree with your sentiment but in his case the likelihood he could come back this season and be anywhere close to 100% with an ACL tear in January was always remote. It almost never happens that quickly. Also factor in that he plays cornerback and that makes it even more difficult. Corners put enormous pressure on their knees. I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt as he has never shown too be a player that gives anything less than 100%. I just think speculation that he’s not trying to play is unjustified in his case. Other players it could be warranted. Just my opinion.

I hate these damn airline and ticket site algorithms. HATE.

I had a flight for a winter beach trip picked out yesterday. Checked with wifey last night. Price more than doubled this morning because I had looked at the flight before. Now it is possible that the plane filled up this morning, but I seriously doubt it: Not many people want a New Years Eve evening flight. I think it should be illegal: every person should see the same price for the same flight at the same time. But good look passing a fair law. Of course, a person who earned special prices and benefits from the individual airline could receive them at their site.

Does anyone know how to defeat this rip off? Your help would be massively appreciated.

I understand that. I don’t have any inside knowledge. Just was told he was practicing full tilt in the last month. I know I saw him cutting in August video somewhere.

My suggestion is this, if you like the price when you first see it-----buy it

Just incredibly disappointing. An unbelievably cursed season that we need to finish 9-3.

I have to keep reminding myself this. Early we looked good and that raised my expectations. A couple of breaks and we’re looking at 11-1 or 10-2. The breaks went the other way now we’re looking at 9-3 to 7-5.

A 7 or 8 win regular season won’t sit well with many despite some of our bad breaks. It’s too much bad piling up between injuries, mistakes, and just low effort football.

I get what you’re saying but practice is a long way from a live game. Heupel has consistently said that he’s doing everything to be able to play. Could be coach speak and protecting a player but he is convincing when he discusses McCoy. It could also be that after we lost to Oklahoma they collectively decided it wasn’t worth the risk because we weren’t going to the playoffs. Just speculating. I tend to think if he did try to play he would’ve been far worse than he was last year based on other players coming off that injury.

I would be patient and try again at various times. It’s algorithm driven. Used to be you could always get the best deals on Wednesday. Patients is a virtue. Log in from a different IP address and you might get a different fare. AI is ruining the world as we speak.

How does that do anything for us? Heupel isn't leaving to go to LSU. Don't be so gullible.

Once Kiffin makes a choice, our guy, who basically has the same resume, will become a very attractive option.

You can call me gullible; I’ll call you naive.

Did Tebow ever make a living completing anything over 15 yards? He hit short passes and the WR's did the heavy work for him. That may be why he couldn't sustain a career in the NFL. I always thought he would be a great RB in the NFL.

At least during the 2008 season, nearly 50% of Tebow’s passing yards came on passes of 15 yards or more

CJH probably on a few teams list of HC choices going forward... Don't believe CJH will take another job this off-season but those who believe he would never leave are in dream land... Everyone has a price and a destination they wouldn't turn down...

LFG! 🍊 I’m not going to get down about Tony leaving and taking coaches. Let see what the new staff can do. My first new coach and staff as a beisball fan. Just win. And let’s not freak out at every loss. About a third of the people in the baseball game threads repeatedly snarked that the ‘24 team sucked in the first half of the ‘24 season. 😂

I do hear to expect more RBI emphasis and less stress on one-run homers. No idea if that will prove to be true.
