But for the Nico meltdown, Aguillar is nowhere on Heup's radar and Nico is still here (and I am glad he is not), Aguillar was in the portal but no interest from Tennessee or the SEC schools. We got lucky on the Nico money grab with Aguillar falling into our lap, but rather than continuing to...

Needs reps for GMac, the Merk show has no audience, not sure why Heup futzes around on this topic, going to play Merk in front of Faizon?

Defensive secondary is still abysmal, paid a costly price last week in conference play, not sure if Martinez is capable of putting an SEC caliber secondary on the field, not sure why Heupel puts up with such mediocrity

To make the premium seats work, White Danny has allocated 2, sometimes 3 parking passes to those ticket holders, relegating most fans to the hinter lands of the garages on 11th Street, which sucks, or the garages at Terrace and Lake Avenues, which really suck, since there is no traffic control...

All west side gates are dedicated to Sky Box access and premium seating, three west side gates are not even in use so as not to flood the concourse with non-premium seat holders. His catering to the less than one percent is embarrassing as they continue to carve and remodel the facilities to...

The fact that our staff hung on to this talent experiment at the $2,4 million price tag is concerning and only let go when the price was no longer affordable is most concerning, I'm not sure Heupel can evaluate young QB talent, Hooker was experienced when got here and Aguillar already has 4...

Typical Willie Martinez clown show, you knew where the ball was going and still couldn't shut the door. This guy was run out of town with Butch Jones as a Larry Slade don't turn around defensive coach. The secondary has been problematic since Heupel got here, a piece of the defense Saban always...

Penalty and futzing around on the 30 yard line iced our own kicker, Georgia was out of timeouts and all we needed to do was put the ball between the hash marks and get out of the way and into the locker room. Could have been Bama 2022 but it wasnt.

Winnable games should be won in the SEC not lost, hopefully Heupel realizes you have to close the door at the first available opportunity, the 2025 defense is as deplorable as the 2022 version and we are not going to post 45 points every game, such that to be in contention for a playoff spot...

The biggest talent disparity is in our defensive position coaches and theirs, on field talent gap is much narrower, still in Georgia's favor.

Heup is going conservative, moving away from got us 21 points, don't understand, our defense is much like the 2022 version.

Everybody wants to turn a dollar on the Vol program, JG took more than his fair share of hard hits during Butch Ball, but I think he had Nico like over rating and was in the deep end too quick and was not prepared for his role at Tennessee.

Glad he is gone, but the fact that Tennessee coddled this experimental project into a third year at the $2 million + rate is concerning, are there other Nico's hidden in our roster that are impairing success in those big games that matterthe most?

Coach Heup is the one who signed and recruited the Nico experiment and hopefully this is behind us. From all indications Nico was cool, suave and a hip star, but wasn't a top tier SEC quarterback, primarily because he didn't have the underlying skill set to play at that level, Heup exited that...
