First day?

I don't know what that means.

College kids being allowed to renege on the language in their contracts isn't good for us or the sport.

The kids that do this need to be sued until it stops happening.

My VA Tech buddy believes they are getting Tim Banks.

I'm going to be disappointed if this Matt Campbell to Pedo State initiative doesn't fall through. It was just beginning to get fun.

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.

Memphis was the same channel 5, I believe. Sunday mornings around 8-9.

Georgia Tech wasn't independent. They were in the ACC. I don't remember BYU ever winning a national championship.

Don’t think I’ve seen anyone post this yet today. But….sheesh. Wish the Haslems cared as much about Tennessee as the top donors at other schools. This is an insane amount of money from one person.

They won it in 1984

I remember as a kid watching Bill Battle Show and Ara Paseghian Show came on after Battle’s show. One Sunday morning , I was at a football banquet and I wanted to watch Bill Battle Show. One room had a tv and 4 or 5 people were watching the Vol replay. TN had just beat Clemson and Larry Seviers caught a miracle pass for a 2 pt conversion to win. We watched the play and I looked up and Larry Seviers was in the room watching the replay with us. He was the guest speaker for the banquet

That's a candle.... right?

It’s a candle and some jingle balls.

It’s also fake.

Amazing!
And I believe I remember the game you're referring to.
Was the 2pt. catch where Seviers had to go high in the back of the endzone and came down with his feet barely in bounds?

They won it in 1984

One of the weakest resumes for a National Champion that season. Think they played one ranked team and that team ended up winning only three games.

BYU wasnt an independent either.....they were in the WAC

The Haslam family has given more than $100 million to the University of Tennessee. We need 100,000 people to give $4,000 each and we will reach $400 million.

Whatever. He’s been in first place atop the standings until a title game. They went 8-1 in 2020 while OU went 6-2. Beat OU during the regular season and then lost the title game. That’s huge for a place like Iowa State. Until the last 2 years, it was a conference with Texas and OU, two of the most successful programs in history of college football.

I’m sorry that conferences have 100+ teams in them now. With unbalanced schedules, it’s a mess. They tied in 2024.

He’s a solid coach.

A solid coach with 1 10 win season & no conference titles

I do think he’ll be good for Penn State with their resources.
