I agree with your sentiment, but the facts are that it hurts us. Which is why we all need to collectively resist that stuff regardless of the kids decision making. Think about recruits that don’t have that close of a relationship yet. This could be their first or second impression. It’s just...

Yes players believe this. It’s irrational to think otherwise. They are people just like you and me. All it does is give them more confidence and leverage to act out against their own coaches and team. If we believe it, they certainly can to. Our fan base literally brags about stopping a hire and...

I believe that depends on the caliber of player you’re representing. Some players who enter will not be able to return. Also it is a risk, especially if there are no teams bidding higher than his current NIL contract. The leverage would be flipped on its head and he could be coming back to the...

Not sure if there is a typo at the beginning of your second sentence, but yes I agree. They did want to exploit them. If they didn’t, they would’ve led by good faith and allowed players to get paid their worth. I truly think if they had done that from the beginning, it wouldn’t be the Wild West...

Yep. The players having to go to extreme lengths to get their moneys worth definitely hurt the reaction afterwards. If it was done in good faith, maybe the players wouldn’t have been so aggressive in getting money and pushing the transfer portal to its limits.

I got ya. Hopefully someone finds a way to make this less obviously crooked. I’m happy the players are getting paid because they’ve always deserved it. NCAA was just too greedy to let players make their money so now we have a flood of nonsense. If this was introduced earlier in the sport I doubt...

Yea I figured that was definitely happening. Are their agents that represent coaches AND players? I’m assuming they all have close relationships for obvious reasons. I’m just wondering is there any strategic “pawn” usage to hurt rival teams pockets.

Yes, the guy telling fans how to fan is back. As fans, we talk about accountability for the coaching staff and players a lot—and rightfully so—but when does accountability come back to Vol Nation? Are we automatically exempt? Are people just that committed to complaining? Before all the free...

A lot of these agents are connected. Some agents have multiple players and maybe even have multiple coaches in that pipeline. Is this all just an agent joke fest? Also, another little conspiracy of mine, it’s evident there is tampering going on, are teams using this as an advantage to make teams...

Personally think we’re missing that D Samp or Jaylen Wright shifty, hole finding, home run hitter. Cam and Lewis are stupid fast but I haven’t seen shiftiness out of either of them yet. Edit: to be fair Cam hasn’t really had the chance to show that yet due to injuries. I’d go either Cam or...

Our O-Line struggles improved throughout the season greatly. I’m lost on the hate on the O-Line currently. Around the Oklahoma game both our tackles were injured. That continued until about the Florida game. After that our O-Line has been solid, and yes that means pass blocking too. Only issue...

Our money doesn’t seem to be give and go. It seems like it’s more long term investment that makes more money in the long run but upfront isn’t as much. FYI I could be totally wrong. Just using context clues of people talking about how Spyre operates and their emphasis on it being a chess to...

I think we are starting to fix a lot of the road game issues. Obviously Vandy doesn’t count, but the Georgia game we came out ready. Nico didn’t have too many issues with the noise. We just had trouble finishing drives. If he plays like he did against Vandy, Georgia, and Kentucky and our O-Line...

While I love the idea, I’m not sure money is the only factor that would make someone stay in that position. Some people care about their legacy and the impact they want to leave, as well as having control over the team’s decision-making. It could also be challenging to retain assistant coaches...

This was far from the same results. This was a one score game late in the fourth. Our run game was effective the entire night. This came down to our offense needing to finish drives (execution problem),reduce self inflicted errors, the refs, and a tough away game. Only thing I can critique...
