Apparently there was going to be an ad shown during tonight's game having to do with forcing the Redskins to change their name. Have you seen it yet?

The ad makes a lot of sense, redskins should changes their name, much like if a team were to be named white or blackskins, Seminoles on the other hand is an honor and should not change their name

I find your name offensive. Please change it.

Btw - The Redskins aren't changing their name...

I find it offensive that people throw their weight around just to try and get someone to change something that no one had a problem with until now.

I find it offensive that people play the race card every chance they get for nothing more than sympathy.

I find it offensive that there are people who do nothing but bleed this country dry and have the nerve to say they need more funding.

I can agree to this. It's why this country is tanking in everything.

Your dealing in a whole lot of what if's right now. The fact is TG is not a QB committed to UT and Jennings and Dormady are. You don't like it. It's alright.

I'm a bit late here, but I think I was reprimanded for arguing that you were dealing with a lot of ifs in recent past; isn't this the place for speculation?

It's a much better idea to space out the QBs class wise. Less likely you lose kids to transfer in year 2-3 if they are spread out. It's just common sense recruiting 101.
Click to expand...

I understand the "recruiting 101." I know you argued that we should only take 1 qb when we still had RF, but when he left, it was cool to get 2 qbs. What if the coaches wanted 2 qbs before RF left town? Why wouldn't they still recruit TG then? Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean you are right.

Personally, I couldn't care less; I think we got a good passing qb and a good athletic qb. But if Butch wants TG, and Butch preaches competition, then the more the merrier, all the better for the Tennessee football program. If they can't win out, who cares if they transfer? It's not ideal, but ask the guys who recently left the program if Butch values the players that produce more than the ones who don't measure up.

If TG wants to be a Vol, bring it. Win the QB job and lead us to victory. If you can't win the job, find a different seat on the bus or get off the bus.

Of course CBJ can do whatever he thinks is right. As I said before, how often do you see schools take 3 QBs in 1 class? It's just not something that happens. I get fans looking at it and saying the more the merrier, I just don't think the recruits think that way. The fans say stack 'em up 10 high and then just boot the ones who are not All SEC. Obviously that is partly why recruits keep an eye on how many a school is bringing in at their position and don't all choose to attend the same school. A lot of the same folks on here today screaming take all the QBs you can get in the class are the same ones who will be 1st in line trying to boot them out the door in year 2 to make room for the next unproven "*". I don't see any reason to take 3 QBs, and pass on OTs, DT's, and other positions of need. CBJ can do it if he likes, he makes the calls.

As a general rule I agree. The primary time it changes IMO is when the best on the board regardless of position wants to come. You make room for that. Not saying TG is that guy unless he is willing to be a TE. :)

You can only be offended by something if you want to be offended. Most of these people are pushing an agenda and love to have something to be offended about. Back to TG. I don't see any reason why we don't take him if he wants to be here. Injuries, home sickness, academic issues or just about anything can happen as we saw last year. Bring him in, let him compete and see what happens. Personally, I like a QB who will get the ball to our elite WRs, RBs and TEs, but this is CBJs call.

If TG is scared off because of Tennessee getting another QB committment, then he is not the guy we ant. If he commits to Tennessee, then he is the kind of player we want. He has great potential at more than two positions. I would love to have him as a Vol and let the competition begin. If he does not win the QB position, he will be outstanding wherever position he plays.Come on in TG and commit ASAP.

WR/TE makes sense to me. Just depends if he can add the weight. There has been talk that the UT peanut butter can add 18 pounds in 25 days, but we'll have to see what happens.

Gibson is a silent commit and is hanging with a girl right now on campus. If the Dormandy commit turned him off, he would not be there right now/stayed as long as he has.

The plot thickens...

This thread is quickly becoming my favorite of all-time at VolNation.

We, as a nation, can become a great country again...with Torrance Gibson in orange
