I really hope the UCLA/Neb game doesn't go beyond our kickoff time. If it does, I hope it's a blowout so they'll switch it to our game. Our luck it'll go like 6 or 7 OTs. Wish we weren't playing same time as bama/A&M game too.

I read on atwitter that a UT fan was walking down the street with a Smokey head on and had a duck in his mouth! :lolabove:

OCI, good recruiting news---wild guess here but I hope it's a commitment by a major player.

I want to know!! What the heck is going on

 

[zhangliao04]

For EB or Worley?

I got that Marquez North! (No way is it ever a Bray jersey)

Lol EB of course! I haven't given up on Worley just yet. I really am rooting for the kid because let's face it he is a better QB than I lol. But still if he isn't doing well by the UF. Or USA game then it may be time to look at a new QB. In Butch I trust though.

We're they selling Norths # as well Wu?

Edit: nevermind, saw your pic lol

:good!:

OK, I know nothing...just trying to speculate on what OCI is contacting Ron on....I need some good news

 

[zhangliao04]

Here is my jersey I bought today to go along with Wu's. This is my first ever jersey and have been waiting patiently for these. They are, must I say, the bomb diggity.

There are so many #Vols fans in Eugene. If only we could replace Oregon State with UT. So far every Vol i have met has been a class act!

Heeeeeere's Johnny!!!

(ESPN) — A photo of Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel signing for South Florida autograph broker Drew Tieman in early January has been obtained by ESPN. It is the first visual representation of Manziel signing for Tieman. In the photo, which two sources have confirmed as legitimate, Manziel, in a long-sleeve maroon shirt, is standing over a covered pool table signing photos of his image while Tieman oversees the process. The photo, according to sources, was taken in the Fort Lauderdale apartment in which Tieman was living at the time.

Is the NCAA held to double jeopardy standards? If not, look out.

What.is.the.point.of.that.pic???????????
We all know he signed the pics. His signature is on the pictures. That wasn't the issue.

Where is the picture of the money going into his pocket

The alternative is that he spent hours cooped up in a room signing his name thousands of times... for free? Which is more likely? NCAA doesn't have to have hard proof, they have circumstantial evidence and the testimony of the guy who paid. It's not the court system, they don't have to abide by the same rules.

They don't care. It's Johnny F'ing Football Hero. He's untouchable. On another note, I really wish Mo wouldn't have made that public apology. It was heartfelt and appreciated, but he also all but admitted his guilt. I don't think the NCAA could have done anything quite frankly, but oh well. So much for that.

That's why I liked that Mo apologized, he was a man and owned it. I'm sure CBJ didn't give him the choice to hide behind the "you can't prove it" routine.

Hopefully it doesn't mean he's serving us burgers at McDonald's for the rest of his life now, but yeah, he definitely manned up and owned it. I guess it comes down to what we personally find appropriate behavior. I don't have a problem with what he did, nor do I have a problem with what Johnny Football Hero did. The NCAA is a joke, and I hope they get theirs soon. They're far more unethical than Mo taking a little over a thousand.

Your point would be valid except there is no way they get the testimony from the bagman, so jay is right

 

[SpringBokVol]

I am really irritated that you can't watch a REPLAY of the game on ESPN3.

Doesn't make any sense to me.

87 corolla was my first car.

74 Torino Elite. 351 Cleveland, chrome 100 spokes, gold metal flake paint. Car was mean. I loved that car....I also totaled it, lol. Damn near killed me.

NB4 cool story bro! Carry on

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

It's gameday, boys!! Today is the day that we will see a glimpse of the future under this coaching staff. Today is the day that the college football nation will begin to realize that the sleeping giant on Rocky Top is awakening, and rising back to the top! We may be thin at many positions due to key losses, but we will overcome some how some way. 41-39 Vols!! GO BIG ORANGE!

Yeah, Johnny Football and A#M will skate, but the VOLS will catch hell. That's the way it works, isn't it? And then there is Vandy which is involving a serious crime, and I have heard little on the news at all.

 

[rjd970]

It's about recruiting, and it's not a bad thing. It's also not any form of anything resembling insider information.

Obviously you guys email. If you had information you didn't want to share with the board, then why the F' would you post on the board for him to email you? Why not just email him?

...comes across as pretty ridiculous and stupid.

 

[Vol1SG]

175 mi from Autzen. Listening to Charlie Daniels. SGM (retired) and a 1SG (retired) gonna have some fun.

GO VOLS!!
Rangers Lead The Way!!

You're probably not going to want to watch it twice anyway. :unsure:
