Oh no, this is going to turn ugly for Tennessee real fast.

Our folks are going to mismanage our QB search from the get-go, and they're going to make us the laughing stock of the college football world. We should NOT be trying to steal a starting QB from another program!!! We MUST take a QB who's in the portal!! If we try to steal someone who isn't in the portal, then suddenly we're going to look as bad as Nico. We'll forfeit any right to blame Nico for any of this, and we'll look really bad. We'll just have to accept that we got shafted by Iamaleava, and we may have a down year next year as we try to make do with a 3-star for a season. But that's what we'll have to do! Accept it!

This is 7 figure business and sometimes the first person you ask doesn’t say yes. That’s honestly the nicest response I can produce to this on Good Friday.

I do agree that we seem to always be the headliner (MOSTLY negative) since about 2008 or so.

1. Kiffin debacle
2. Pruitt McDs bags (probation, schollys)
3. NCAA lawsuit
4. Nico carousel

And I'm just naming CFB wide news stories. Everyone else maybe has 1 major story, most = none. Some type of Fulmer bad ju-ju. We need the little poltergeist 👻 lady to exercise the demons.
Her name was Tangina .... Is she going to put them on a treadmill? LOL.

* It's exorcise .... not exercise.

.... and of those 4 things listed, only #2 reflected poorly on Tennessee. We won the lawsuit. Kiffin was a bust at USC. Nico will transfer to a worse team for less money. This thread is melodramatic.

Neither of our current QBs are 3 star recruits. They were both top 20 QBs in their class.

During the stadium renovations when the entire field was dug up ... voo doo dolls were dug up.

THAT IS A FACT.

I know because our company does work there. Do not know what was done with them.

And If we failed, I'm perfectly okay with that-at least we tried.

If we go 8-4 this season with Merk or GMAC at the helm, the expectations for 2026 should be sky high.

I'd rather go 8-4 with one of those guys than 9-3 with somebody as a one-year rental.

I May have to eat crow on this, but I think this is our best case scenario now and we should get excited about who we have in-house.

It all goes back to the mom of that LSU quarterback who put the vudoo curse on us when her son got hurt in the SEC championship game against TN circa 2001.
Oh Hell, well then there is no doubt about it! That’s obviously the cause of not only this latest setback, but also the last two decades. You guys absolutely need to insist that the university put together a team to hunt this thing down and research how to neutralize this Hex!!! /s

Seriously though, I don’t believe or entertain thoughts of that nature, but I’ve spent some time in New Orleans and met folks that honestly do believe in this type of thing. In my interactions with that type of culture I actually found them to be courteous and very hospitable people, albeit very odd and a bit creepy, but they were nice to me. As stated, I don’t believe it, but I’d prefer to stay on friendly terms with them.

Funny that what Pruitt did will be withing the rules as of July 1 if the House settlement goes through.

The NCAA lawsuit got UT lots of cred with the athletes.

Nico leaving didn't make UT look. Bad. Neither did Kiffin leaving.

Her name was Tangina .... Is she going to put them on a treadmill? LOL.

* It's exorcise .... not exercise.

Oh 110% this is a melodramatic / "OP" was off work drinking way too early thread. I was really just pondering what @Cartervol said in that we seem to have a lot of drama and shat sandwiches. I agree with you both, not all are necessarily bad, just seems like we have so much freaking drama in our off-seasons. It can never be a handful of smooth years with no real wrenches thrown in seems like. We definitely lead the league in it and I'm suprised we don't have a reality show on BRAVO at this point.

Dude come down off the ledge. We are not going to be the laughing stock of college football. Our season will turn out okay. Much better than Nico’s will.
