RIP CMB. He was a really good OC for Tennessee that never seemed to get his just deserves.

Good discussion. One guy I always thought had the potential to be a good coach but never really materialized as a legitimate guy and has seemed to fizzle of recent years was Mike Bajakian. He was here under Bitch Jones. Left to go coach QBs at Tampa Bay and really hasn't been heard of since. I...

He will be a late 1st rounder and I am happy for him. Hopefully he can go be great at the next level because he gave his all for Tennessee.

The thing that is forever burned into my memory was my wife and I talking about this in the morning. She simply asked, "do you think he will leave?" I responded confidently, "No way. He is going to build something here. 0% chance he leaves" and then all hell broke loose that evening. Although...

He should be a mid-1st rounder as projected. His speed and ability to reach the QB in and of itself warrants that projection. I get the size concern but Robert Mathis also was thought to be too small to play DE and had a decent career as both a DE and OLB because of the same traits Pearce has. I...

Gotta totally disagree. Money does not equal knowing wtf you are doing. And the egomaniac Haslam will think he has a say in all football operations if this occurred. Haslam's have been terrible for Cleveland. Some years past (maybe between the Dooley, Lane, and Bitch eras) I heard rumors from...

Exactly right. Matthews far and wide would be a bigger loss than White. Hopefully they get him to stay.

The NIL will be the ruination for collegiate sports. No coach at the collegiate level will want to subject themselves to this level of madness. It is professional level arrangements without any oversight at all and zero regulation. It is truly madness and as much as I think players should get...

Good. He's a fast guy....that is it. He can't make all the catches you need a top-tier wideout to make. He drops too many balls. And his route running is not always good. Not sure who might be out there or already here to take his spot, but I have never been enamored by his play. It is very...

Lord yes.....this right here.

Since 1974. Win, lose, or draw and throughout all of the garbling (my own), moaning (my own) and coaching carousels of recent years, they will never lose me.

Agreed. I have taken "garbage" on this take more times than I can count but the proof is on the field when Tennessee is playing top level schools.

Nico was not the problem last night. First, the O-Line just got manhandled all night long it seemed. Second, our stellar RB sat on the sideline because his injury was perhaps more significant than we thought. Third, our WR corps is not a top-tiered corps. When they have press coverage on them...

Our Vols got mollywhomped. Period. End of a great season and one that we probably overachieved expectations. It is disheartening the way they lost, but they exceeded everyone's expectations for the season. Now let's build on this and grow.

That is so good, Gandalf!
