    PFF top edge rusher - James Pearce

    PFF isn’t the best, but they definitely got this one right. Pierce is an unbelievable player. I hope he stays healthy and goes #1. I love watching him play. He is relentless.

    To get leverage and request more NIL $.

    Anyone else surprised MTSU has more players in Super Bowl 58 than UT?

    Stock still was a mediocre coach, but he and his staff could find players. The MTSU DB alumni of recent far exceed ours.

    NIL $ and walk-ons vs scholarship spots

    We have to remember that these are real people with real egos. I cannot imagine that telling a stud recruit, the types that are receiving an NIL deal, that they will be a walk on. For many, that ends the conversation. Coaches aren’t going to risk that. The NIL PWO program will only work if you...

    Finish this sentence. For the Vols to make the 2024 playoffs…

    Offensive line has to solidify. DBs need to be able to cover in man and make plays. Pierce and combust stay healthy. If we can get pressure with four, we are going to be golden in defense. If it takes five or six, we are not very good. Nico needs to be efficient and keep the offense on the...

    The Death of Sports Illustrated

    As children, my siblings and I were always avid readers, but the item that I looked forward to was the new edition of SI Kids magazine. I read every issue cover to cover and then moved up to SI by middle school. I continued reading SI all throughout high school and college. The magazine is...

    Tyler Baron to Louisville?

    I assumed he had. With 12 semesters to achieve this including summer, with minimum classes per year that would have him well over the requirements. But, maybe not.

    IRS getting involved in the NIL?

    SMU paid better than that in the 80s. What happened?

    Tyler Baron to Louisville?

    He is likely not getting drafted. He has one year left to earn $$ in his football career. He who pays the most gets him. His draft grade shows him as a UFA, so going to another program also could give that a boost if they use him differently or something that ups his performance and draft...

    Vols #17 in final AP poll.

    We need to get a lot better on the offensive line if we want to be a top 10 team next year. That’s a long time from now though. Go Vols. I hope the offseason is hugely productive b

    CFP Championship: #1 Michigan vs #2 Washington (7:45PM EST)

    Rewatching sections of the game made me realize how bad this Washington team was defensively in the first quarter. Their alignment and DB play reminded me of us in the UF game. Both of the long TD runs were because of poor alignment. They were massively unprepared. I don’t think this UW team...

    CFP Championship: #1 Michigan vs #2 Washington (7:45PM EST)

    Michigan has the best defensive front in CFB and it won them the NC. They are the NY Giants of the Eli Era.

    97 vs 98 Vols

    Retrospectively, the 1997 season was a rare season. The level of football was better than any other in the 90s IMHO. I would take the top four regular season teams: Nebraska, Michigan, Tennessee, and FSU against any of the teams that decade other than maybe 95 Nebraska. Last year was the same...

    How do you guys feel about the bowl game?

    I’m excited some of our young guys are getting upgraded roles. I obviously want to win, but I want this to be their coming out party too. A good start by Nico and the Gand really gives confidence and momentum to next season.
