“Bro, just a few more teams. Just a few more teams, bro. It’s gonna be great. We just need a few more teams, bro.”

 

[peaygolf]

A ton.

I actually would have liked it better than being in a conference.
thought it would be cool to play different teams every year.......different. idk.......i was a kid

 

[Vols4us]

Roy Kramer passed away?

RIP. A visionary.

He always treated UT fairly as commish.

This has to go against the presidential oath

They were dumb hiring Franklin but they’re reason was “can’t win big games” or whatever. Campbell has and has at Iowa State of all schools.

He might end up doing better. I just don’t see much of a difference. Franklin went 9-4 twice at Vandy before portal / NIL era, which is pretty amazing.

In & Out coming to Nashville,Nooga and Knoxville

They are opening here in Lebanon any day now.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

In & Out is overrated.

Not bad. Just not worth the fuss.

TWSS

In & Out is a great burger joint (for fast food)

Gotta say, I haven't been on the board much the last year or two due to sales seasons being crazy and dealing with health issues when I have free time.
But you morans definitely help ease the load...when I do have the time to pop in. Ive been on Vol forums since Tennstud was having watch parties. Y'all are alright in my book (more of a comic book).

If we think back to our time (70's late80's), how many "Independents" were there?
That would be a great trivia question.....

anyway.............Notre Dame is the lone survivor........and brilliant......which pisses me off more.

I remember as a kid during the late'60s - early '70s, when the Ara Parseghian Show was piped into Knoxville Sunday morning TV under the auspices that it was hosted by Knoxville native Lindsey Nelson.
I can't imagine that kind of b.s. happening today.

Golesh can’t croot

 

[Devo182]

If you cap it we just return to before with under the table payments that give certain schools more advantages (and unfair policing/punishment). At least this way its all out in the open.

Contracts. Contracts. Contracts.

How any of the "leaders" of this sport can't see this thing will eventually become a crab, is just beyond me.

Every sport paying players ends the same way. There are good reasons.

 

[Hardy]

I miss Knight.........

I'd love to see him coaching today.....................

Didn’t work for boo

Things against Tim Banks
-2 of 5 years were statistically abysmal
-1 of the abysmal years was the most recent year.
-2 of 5 years were ok
-7 out of 8 sec teams scored 31+ this year
-closest complete game from the defense was against a Florida team that quit.
-Does not recruit
-System incompatible with offense.
-3rd downs have always been an issue.
-Safeties have been the worst position group in his five years.
-Best safety performer is a walk on, Will Brooks (lmao wtf)
-Has been out schemed by all high end offenses.
-doesn't seem to scheme and dial things up in a chess player type of manner. IE. Pruitt, Kirby and Monte Kiffin.
-Legend Bey hates him which is the source of this entire mess. Ok I made that one up.

Things for Tim Banks
-2024 defense was top 10
-Seems to be a nice dude?

"2 of 5 years were ok"

You mean these 2 where we ranked 6th and 3rd out of of 14 teams in the best defensive conference in the country? Surely we need to be better than uga and bama with far less talent and a hyper offense

 

[Devo182]

I put $50 on Norway to win it lol

Thought they had an easy bracket.

Wouldn't want to be France or England. Tough draws.

Like what?

 

[Weezer]

I will take my moody angsty teenaged children over many of the worry circle residents on here everyday of the week.


Also, you need to calm DN.

I thought your best bud BOT calmed doze....


Going to serious, I hope you don't leave. You're one of my favorite posters to joke around with. Much better than that Sally-controlled @Enki_Amenra .

That legal in the middle east?

Amateur sports may someday return but not until after the global apocalypse, except in corn hole. There will always be amateurs in corn hole.

 

[JCVol00]

I don't care the competition, this is insane............It's half-time.

I dont care how ty’s recruitment went, we absolutely need to go full court press on this dude

UT has intramural sports and has for decades.

If folks love amateur sports so much, they can ballistic, I guarantee there's plenty.

Back in the day of "the human drama of athletic competition," the Olympics were amateur, collegiate athletics amateur, etc. I'm not talking about your neighborhood street pick up games. Sheesh.
