Prob analytics based on serving 100MPH.

Women hit the ball 120-130, and men 150-160. Who would have ever thought?

Forty-two years ago today, nearly half the U.S. population decided to take the same action at the same time, sitting down to watch the final episode of “M*A*S*H.’’
A show about a fictitious mobile army surgical hospital during the Korean War galvanized Americans, bringing 106 million out of a nation of 234 million – more than 45% – in front of their TV sets.

This is how the game is set up. Gibson is acting selfishly, but there isnt anything he's doing against the rules. And it is a slippery slope, yet here again. It's an open porthole, and there no contracts. Gibson is first but wont be last.

Coaches and AD's can hold schools and players at bey while they negotiate. But players cannot? Again, i'm not arguing the legitimacy of a Spring porthole. I think its dumb. But feelings matter not. Here we are.

'Let 'em walk.' You're talking about a starting CB. Our other starter is out, and we dont know when he'll be back, if at all.

Now, bigger picture. Someone needs to stand up and close the spring porthole.

I agree with your statement. There is nothing illegal but morally Is where I base my statement. This should have never hit the media. I’m sure this been pulled by players I love to watch. But they handled it correctly. We should never know what things like this. For that is why I say Let’em walk.
Rickey’s team and he handled this poorly and shouldn’t do business with them. In my own business, I have handled situations very similar. Lost money on moral standings.
But this this all personal feelings I’m sure they will keep him because of where the team is at corner. I ,however, will not root for him.

I'll root for him, bc he's a Vol. And personal feelings don't matter.

I'll go back to my same old gripe. Staff needs to widen its net at OL, DB, and WR. Three key areas we struggle to get big dogs in recruiting. Areas Georgia and Bubba, even toothless Florida stack talent.

DB and WR are two areas where stars do matter. Whatever the reason, coaching, Sam's Club pricing, football needs less air. Make it happen.

We saw difference YoY when we fired our DB's and brought in a player. We see what happens when this offense has talent to stretch the field.

We have to get better on the trail. There is little excuse for not having a top 7-8 class every year. We have literally everything.

I still dont think we have properly capitalized on having a top flight QB, Orange Bowl win, Draft picks, and a playoff appearance.
