I agree with this post 💯. it's the next natural step in the progression of the program to go into our biggest rivals stadium and hand them an L. it demonstrates a level of maturity and growth of the players that they can handle anything. IMO you can't be a serious title contender without...

I've been saying in the football forum that if the NCAA wants to combat out of control NIL they need to lift all eligibility rules. let them play as long as they want.

right... they change th rules AFTER Tennessee got screwed out of a home game in the opening round. go figure

I don't get it really, is this a new health issue? I mean he played all last year. did he get feedback from NFL scouts that he would never be selected by an NFL team because of the type of injury he had in 2023? what am I missing here with his announcement?

this still doesn't solve the issue of paying too much for an unproven high school QB

the education is free as a benefit if they want it.

imagine Tim Tebow or Josh Dobbs staying in the NCAA.

Now that the illusion of the "student athlete" has been completely shattered I have a solution to the issue of players holding teams hostage for money. Currently there's a supply and demand issue. very few top tier QBs (or other positions) and too many teams that want them. this gives players...

he wouldn't have gotten it done. back then Tennessee was losing games it had no business losing.... oh wait. kidding asside do you really think Majors would have had better luck once Spurrier got hot at Florida? highly doubt the results would have been any different.

I sure hope that's not the attitude Heupel has.

yeah I get it, but he will also experience playing from behind and receivers dropping balls they should catch at Tennessee as well except the defenses on the other side will be much much better than what he has ever seen. we will see what comes out of fall practice and who is lined up in week 1.

lots of people thinking Aguilar would be handed the starting job because Nico was supposed to start ahead of the other two anyways.

I hear ya but it's not what he said in years past. I think he has no clue who his qb1 will be especially with a true freshman and a last minute transfer portal add both of which Heupel has never seen throw a ball outside of highlight film. Merklinger is the only one he actually has seen play.

It sounds like Heupel is planning on having an open competition for QB this fall. Aguilar is not a given. https://atozsports.com/nashville/volunteers/josh-heupel-confirms-tennessee-vols-quarterback-addition-ucla-transfer-joey-aguilar/

Butch didn't fight for upper tier talent? He has the highest ranked recruiting classes of all coaches since Fulmer. What he would do is LIE to them and promise them things to get them on campus and then totally mismanage them and the team. not to mention some of those top tier talent guys have...
