    Best High School Player Seen

    Hardin County High School, class of ‘98. We played y’all twice in ‘97, but we’re gone by then I guess. We played y’all in quarterfinals in ‘97 playoffs, then y’all spared us a beat down and lost to Pearl Cohn the next week. 100 years ago 😅

    With NIL era ending, college sports is on verge of seismic change. How will schools adapt with industry in upheaval?

    The major football colleges (40-50 schools) will retain some licensing, while the programs are sold out to professional teams. The lower tier schools will remain as they are, and I think NIL will even itself out there. How marketable will players be from Rice, New Mexico, etc? The free...

    College coaches quitting

    Oh yeah. People get their hackles raised on this subject. People can believe what they want, but I (like a lot of people) know people that have played D1 football. They got their education, prepared for life, and set sail when they graduated…realizing that the VAST majority don’t go pro. Even if...

    College coaches quitting

    Exactly. The proverbial carrot that most of us chase isn’t in place. Something has to equal out. No business model works like this. Also, if people receive generational wealth by 22 (without really doing anything), and choose to forego their education, how does that bode for their impact on...

    Hilarious declaration of intent

    Who is the Strength Coach?

    Personally, I think our S & C has been inept since the Jones years. He let the players dictate, and it seems it hasn’t changed a whole lot since. If I’m not mistaken, Butch didn’t have one for the last few years. I believe we could do better. But that’s just my observation

    Is Nico the best first year starter in Tennessee history?

    Tennessee had a great D in ‘04, I think. I know they did in ‘05. But all being said, there haven’t been but a few….maybe one or two QB’s at UT (at any grade level) that really took over games, and did it without a solid supporting cast. Maybe Dobbs a few times….possibly Tony Robinson. All of...

    I'm not sure NIL is the real villain here

    As much money as was being thrown around to players through the years (allegedly), players still wanted to play for a Bryant, or Stallings, or Majors, or Fulmer, …..and ESPECIALLY Saban. For all of the money that was being paid, I actually believe that the man behind the whistle carried some...

    I'm not sure NIL is the real villain here

    I can’t believe they can even regulate the portal opening and closing. Before long they’ll be leaving at halftime. I’m all for compensation, but letting the “employees” (and I know they aren’t technically employees, before I get some long diatribe from someone) run the show isn’t good for any...
