Vols got jobbed

Hate not seeing a vol in first round

[mrMet]

he's absolutely not a WR1

 

[Jimmy Football]

The series will be over before it normally even starts

 

[mrMet]

I mean, odds are pretty high he’s a pretty damn good pro. I guess people prefer misery

I saw the last two days an ESPN motor mouth running a campaign that Brazzell was "immature," whatever that is supposed to mean. He has dropped to round 2 also.

Prolly a really small crowd for the 2:30 game. Tonight's outing was not an enthusiasm builder and peeps will be at work.

Percent of team offense (targets/snaps) from the last few first round Ohio State WR prospects:

• 2021 Chris Olave: 10.8%
• 2021 Garrett Wilson: 10.8%
• 2021 Smith-Njigba: 12.0%
• 2023 Harrison Jr: 13.6%
• 2024 Egbuka: 10.5%
• 2025 Carnell Tate 7.3%

I think he’ll be fine, but it just seems like a reach at 4.

Sadly we missed on Tate, who seems to have worked us, along with Mauigoa who went to Miami and same thing. Otherwise stated, Nico's imagined coat tails existed only in his and his fat pops' imagination. But we were after some players there, for sure.

He also had the worst qb among all those guys

I also think 4 was high. I bet they preferred to move down but knew Commanders wanted him at 7 so tough spot to be

Also haven’t seen any remote rumors of any offers to even move down

You're right.

Glad that bastard got a head coaching job and got out of Columbus.

I think the Titans did well, my guy. Granted I don't know the most pressing needs.

I thought it was my connection.

It doesnt seem as bad as it was at the moment.

I think we're in the clear now. Let me know if you notice it happening again.

What a day for Tennessee athletics!

Just today the football team saw zero picks in the first round of the NFL draft after having times where it was predicted they might have 2 players drafted in the first round.

Men's basketball saw Nate Ament declare for the NBA draft.

Women's basketball saw their formerly committed top 5 high school prospect commit to South Carolina.

Baseball saw a terrible pitching performance tonight lead to a loss to stupid Alabama.

Rough day to be a Vol fan.

But, tomorrow we'll hear some Vols get drafted by NFL teams.

Perhaps men's or women's basketball will get another portal commitment tomorrow.

And baseball has a chance to win the series tomorrow with a doubleheader victory over the Tide!

Funny that Tate wound up in Tennessee anyway.

Are we ever going to see a Heupel recruit go in the first round on offense?

 

[Orange.]

6th HBP, 4 this inning

We had 8 runs on 10 hits. The devil on only one more hit, 11, had 12 runs. The difference:

We threw 10 walks, hit 6 batters, and committed 2 balks. That's 18 free men on base.

Better luck tomorrow.

I think he's a good WR2 option. It's what he was this year in college, opposite arguably the best WR in the college game. As a late first round pick, he would be a good choice. At the number four pick of the first round? That's a reach, IMO. That early in the draft you take a game changer, not a WR2. Now, if that had been Jeremiah Smith, (Ohio State's actual WR1), I would say great pick. I think if the RB, Love, had been picked there, I'd say good pick. He has the ability to change the game. But no one on offense that was still on the board struck me as a good pick at #4 in the draft. The value, IMO, was on defense. I do think the Titans could have struck gold with either Downs or Styles. You either solidify the backend or your defense or the middle if you pick either of those IMO. Both have the ability to change the game, again, IMO. I just don't see the value in Tate ate the #4 pick.

Jeremiyah Love is going to have a hard time reaching his potential In Arizona. He's a game changer, IMO, but only if he has blocking. Not sure he'll find that blocking in the desert.
