Princeton Fant, Jaylen Wright, Julian Nixon, along with Salter, Hooker and Bailey

you count Whitehead but no Maurer, or Hodge, or Pope? interesting

 

[Cormock Mac]

Of course the players will tow the line on this.

It's "toe"

 

[LittleVol]

Ready to see what Huepel can do with Beckwith!

I like AT... but i hope he isnt referring to fans of the program since before he was born (like myself) as “outsiders”. I was inside before he was inside the womb!

You have to see it from a player's perspective.

For all of us, Tennessee football is entertainment. We're engaged, but not committed. We do as much as we have fun doing, and not one bit more.

For the players and coaches, Tennessee football is their life. Their profession, for the coaches. Their internship, for the players. They are committed. They get up at 5 and go work out before classes whether they feel like it or not. They work through cuts, bruises, injuries, sickness, freezing cold and stifling heat, whether they feel like it or not.

We are outsiders. To them. Lifelong fans, but still outsiders. Lovable outsiders (well, some of us), but still outsiders.

I’d say Middleton and the rest of the defense is thrilled about the thought of the offense not going 3 and out every time too.

Or getting down 14 points without hardly seeing the field.

I was rushing, but of course those guys will help. Pope, I believe, returned when he knew Pruitt was gone.

I'm trying to figure out what horses are going to run his high power offense?

Let’s go to the Spring game and see.

[Pepe]

Thanks, now I don't have to Google it.

Not much of a fan of you didn't know

I’m to the point where we bring this guy in, welcome him, support him and help him bring this program back! Get the twitter recruiting machine rolling and do some positive tweeting. If you’re against this hire, at least fake it and give the impression that we’re united, because for it or against it, no one that matters cares what we think. We might as well make the best of it. I’m sick of all the in fighting between fans, coaches, boosters, administration, players... At this point, the guy hasn’t lost a game at Tennessee and has a lot of things working against him. Do I think it’s a slam dunk? Maybe not. Is it the first choice I wanted? No. Am I willing to roll with him? Go Big Orange!
Losing is bad enough, without us fans adding toxicity to it.
GBO!!

Agree. Positivity breeds positivity so I’m behind him. I’m at the point where I will support him until he is no longer a Volunteer’s coach as I don’t play the games, I don’t coach and I do not have any impact on the program’s success.
There is so much negativity in this world and i lm electing to control my emotions and be positive. I sound like my mother, God rest her soul.

I was afraid he would wind up in the portal. Glad to see this!

So are you his dad?

If someone transfers, they aren't fans; they are enthusiasts.

Great response!
I’m excited to see what CJH can do with these players!
Gonna see some TENNESSEE TENACITY!!

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Same quotes and pats on the back as when Dooley, Butch, and Pruitt was hired.

Naw, most of those guys have already graduated.

This kid is a stud !!!! If given the chance in a wide open offense where the D has to play safe because of the pass this kid could be special if the small sample we saw last year is any indication. Add Small to the equation and it should be a tough pair to stop and that's not counting those we have coming in.
