He's not a VFL and I hope he fails miserably.

Incredible if true! Math still doesn't jive for early 20's. Did you mean to say early 30's?

I mean, how old ARE you?

This! Permanent games at this point are dumb and there's no need for it. Just set everybody to play everybody the same number of times over an X year period and call it a day. Why anyone would want to set ourselves up with the gauntlet of Florida, Georgia, and Alabama (or whatever) EVERY YEAR...

When he transferred from Ole Miss I was hopeful but mostly 'meh.' His numbers just weren't good there. But he has obviously improved since being at Tennessee, which is a huge testament to the coaching staff and their ability to identify talent and coach up.

I mean yeah, at the end of the day this right here says it all I think. 👆🤷‍♂️

ETSU grad here. I love the Bucs, but I've been a Vol fan first from well before I ever went to college. That comes from living in eastern Tennessee, not going to college there. And I would venture to say most of us in the Tri-Cities area are also Vol fans!

I probably should have added that my feeling on this depends on how we do. If we win, I'm fine with other SEC teams below us winning. Just never above us. And yes, I wouldn't want the SEC to descend into a "trash" conference. However, we are competing against other SEC schools for recruits and...

This. I used to root SEC across the board. Now it does zero good. Non-conference losses now hurt our rivals in the playoff hunt, which helps us. I hate all the teams left and check out when Tennessee loses like most people here. Still, if I had to pick one I would pick OSU since they beat us.

I used to root SEC across the board. No more. The more SEC teams lose in the postseason, the better I feel. And yes, I'll feel even better if OSU wins it all.

Good win! How is it that we've only played 6 games so far?

Is there anything to stop a billionaire who loves a certain team from paying an insane amount of cash to load that team up, cash no sane recruit could refuse. NFL-type money or better? If not, something has got to change or the sport is dead.

I'm a Celtics fan too and have always hated the Lakers, but when Peyton Manning joined the Colts I didn't like them either, then became a huge fan for 17 years. Other than the Titans, Celtics, and Cowboys, my loyalty to any pro team is based on how many and how involved former Vols are. That's...

I actually looked before posting to see if anybody had done a thread on that particular breakout performance, but I didn't see anything. Was I supposed to just add something to a days or weeks/old thread that nobody would see? I don't post a lot so I'm not as familiar with the 'rules'.

No surprise to any of us, but it's awesome to see the rest of the country discover what we've known the whole time. Oh, and I never thought I'd say this, but I'm officially a Lakers fan (for as long as he's there, of course).
