8 wins is the floor considering the talent level of our defense, Oline and run game. If we weren’t having to play a new QB, then that floor may have moved up to 9 wins, but it is what it is. 9-3 is good considering the question marks at QB and WR.

This was always going to happen with Athletic depts being more involved with NIL. It’s happening at every single school with large, revenue generating athletic departments. We’ve seen it happen frequently over the last 5 years. More schools upgrading facilities and stadiums. Those increased...

Intel says Utley is first up among EE freshmen. Wallace is the next guy. We’ll be fine until Hobbs comes back. Worst case is Tyre West or Bailey can move inside if absolutely necessary.

I think Fran Brown is a good coach and he will scheme some surprises that may hit on a few plays. But I think the talent discrepancy will be apparent especially along the lines. TN brings a lot of experience and athleticism on the DLine and will test Cuse’s Oline from the get go. Angeli will...

Absurd take on Josephs. Could be drafted in the 1st round in next years draft if he replicates what he did last year. His skillset is valuable in the NFL.

Nah. We go up early and take the crowd out of it. Defense dominates. Vols by fiddy.

Jamal Lewis, Travis Henry, Travis Stephens and Shawn Bryson were all in the same rb room in 1998. All played in the NFL. OP has no idea what they’re talking about.

The odds of a true freshman winning the starting job are historically not great. Brandon is very talented but most guys need to sit and learn for a year. I’m not gonna write off Merk in his redshirt freshman year. I personally hope he stays and continues to develop.

I’m not going to write off a kid in his redshirt freshmen year. I’m excited about Faizon Brandon but there’s no guarantee he comes in and wins the battle as a true freshman. That’s incredibly hard to do. You need depth and Merk is one injury away from playing. So I want as many guys as possible...

I think Tennessee wins but 13 is a generous spread at this point. Fran brown is a good coach who has had some good wins there. I think we lean heavily on the run game and defense as most teams do in the first few games. Just want to get out of this one with a win and healthy.

Rumor is he missed some workouts and was late to team events. Player leadership council is mad at him, which is what they’re supposed to be doing. Needs an attitude adjustment to focus on the team and not himself.

I wouldn’t go as far to say they hated him. Maybe they thought he wasn’t worth the amount of NIL money he was getting. They probably lost respect for him when he tried to get more money, but I don’t know how much of that was Nico or his dad. Him sitting out the spring game hurt his status with...

I think it’s very important that the offense have trust and confidence in their qb. The QB is the leader of the offense, so he needs to LEAD. Guys aren’t going to be led by someone they perceive as not good enough to help them win or believe that he didn’t earn the job. They won’t buy in 100%...

Isn’t that splitting hairs between the terms “rape” and “sexual assault”?

I see no lies in that statement. Trump is an adjudicated sexual predator who had a long history of hanging out with Epstein. What’s the lawsuit?
