Ainge Today - getting excited

[T2P_Priceless]

‎The Erik Ainge Show: The EA Show - Hour #1 (8.16.21) on Apple Podcasts

Listen to Ainge today starting at 12 minute mark. He watched all of practice this weekend and he’s super excited about the team

- Milton is the best looking QB he’s ever seen here at TN
- teammates are holding each other accountable and picking each other up
- feels better about depth at all positions…”they all look the part”
- competition is great…players fighting each other then picking each other up
- this is going to be the easiest TN team to root for in his lifetime
- coaches are hard and intense but patient. They’re actually teaching
- he’s tempering his expectations for Milton but when he throws it’s not normal. Every single human out there watches him when he throws
- only concern for Milton is when he throws a 6 yard slant it might go off the WR hands and to the other team
- Milton threw a ball to Hyatt 65 yards in air right in bread basket…the DB had stopped (Willy didn’t like that) because it was so far

- said as he’s learned more he understands why those players transferred to OK…he said Pruitt personally told individuals they were Effing terrible. That’s just one example of the things Pruitt said
- he’s very impressed with how Heupel is building this team up but simultaneously putting more demands on them
- not at 8-4 yet but trending that direction, but regardless they’re doing it all the right way…team is going to be fun to root for

Y'all gotta stop doing this to me. I get my hopes up easy enough as it is.

 

[Nationdom]

Yep this team is loaded. Very excited. can't wait for the UF game. This year is when we start dominating Florida again. I truly believe that.

 

[kamoshika]

Encouraging report, thanks for the recap.

I have a sneaking suspicion that this will be a really fun team to watch. And while fun and entertaining might not immediately translate into as many wins as we'd like, it's progress.

 

[jp1]

Ainge might need to pump the brakes just a bit.

 

[give_him 6]

Every August.......it never fails. Not this year. I am not getting sucked into the hype machine.

Wasn’t it Willy’s DB’s that did this against Eason and UGA in 2016? Lol

He was excited about JG. No thanks.

 

[UTK]

Hate to be that guy but Ainge is a puppet for the university. Listen to Swain for the most realistic approach imo.

Not to mention UF and Franks on the last play of the game in 2017...

 

[PEPPERJAX]

He was excited about JG. No thanks.

Ainge will always be a VOL homer and refrains from publicly bashing players. Did you expect EA to call JG a pile of sh1t?

 

[TnVol!]

Exciting. Go Volunteers!!!!!!!

He was excited about JG. No thanks.

Seriously, how many camp QB’s flame out because they’re a fish out of water when it comes to college level defenses?

Plus, if Milton was so great, why didn’t he light it up at his previous school? I hope he kicks ass, but let’s see him play a game before crowning him the Heisman.

Edit: A lot of good responses have been made, I stand corrected.

 

[The Original Fade]

Yep this team is loaded. Very excited. can't wait for the UF game. This year is when we start dominating Florida again. I truly believe that.

Remind me of that time period we dominated Florida. Remember, we’re talking football….not another sport

 

[Southeastern VFL]

Well dang go ahead and name Milton starter so I can get myself up for this season. This QB situation has been really stressful and I am just ready to see it end hopefully it's the last one we have to deal with for awhile. GO VOLS

 

[temptn]

Ainge might need to pump the brakes just a bit.

No!! Pedal down!!

 

[tatervol]

Loaded? Are you joking?

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Sounds like everyone in Knoxville media is convinced its Milton.

 

[VolnJC]

Okay not to be Debbie Downer or Mr. Nega Vol...but don't we get these same sort of reports and optimism with each new staff? That said WGWTFA well WGWSTFAs 7-5

 

[VolBricks]

WooHoooo we're going 15-0! Ainge said it, it must be true.

 

[CLCVol]

Loaded? Are you joking?

Maybe he meant that they're drunk

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

About what? For simply being excited? Geez. I guess everyone should just be Johnny Raincloud huh? No excitement at all
