Merk is completely unproven and has yet to take a meaningful snap. It's going to be a struggle at least initially. This whole thing just sucks

Rather take the bumps early in season than see Nico pull a UNLV QB and up and leave after 4 or 5 games into the season...Merklinger will be fine after about 6 games, remember Peyton didn't set the World on fire his first 4 or 5 games he started either...

Wonder if CJH takes the high road during the press conference after Orange&White game today?

Will he talk about Nico situation or will he revert to the events of the Orange and White game?

Would like to add that CJH has to be torn on the inside. Nico was his Golden Child recruit ....

If that douchebag does end up staying by some miracle...the fanbase is going to absolutely annihilate him the first time he sucks.

I don't see how he can stay at this point...this has to he one of the all-time dumbest moves. Now no matter where he goes, if...or when...he struggles at all that fanbase is going to destroy him because of all this.

100% agree, it's best for both parties involved for Nico to just move on...it would get a hell of a lot more toxic if he stunk it up on the field....

Happy Friday
April 11, 2025: You have issues that still need to be resolved, and you are doing your best to make things right. However, what you are dealing with involves more than just your desires to bring resolution. The ability to change circumstances is not solely your responsibility. Trust the Lord to bring you through this difficult time. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall [a]direct your paths

Yesterday's was pretty fitting considering the circumstances. Reposted above in case you could use it. Today's is also. God is always fitting when you let him in.

Happy Spring Day - you savage Mercs you

April 12, 2025: This is a time to put things into perspective. Life is full of disappointments and tragedies, some more drastic than others, but still a part of living and growing. There are lessons to be learned and obstacles to overcome. These are times when you can strengthen your faith and lean on God for wisdom and guidance. Romans 5:1-4 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope.

Yeah and we face a decent Syracuse team in ATL to open the season. I was thinking about going to that game, but not sure I will now.

Nico was so bad at times last year that people were calling for Gaston Moore to start. They probably weren’t the smartest bunch, but it happened. I’d rather run wildcat than pay Nico another penny more. Can’t imagine sitting out on your team who all earn less than you and carried you to a 10 win season is a good look either. Should have been 11 wins if Nico didn’t s*** the bed against Arkansas and he literally quit on the last play to boot.

I doubt he answers a single question about it and will probably say “no questions about yesterday”

What I am curious to see is the roster's reaction. The next few weeks are going to be interesting.

No Dylan Sampson, no playoffs last season. He was beat to death by the end of it, but he was the leader that kept the focus on O. We all know the D carried the season.

I have no desire to sign all about me guys that only want a paycheck. Whether that is driven by the player or the family - don't care. Do not want. "I will give my all for Tennessee" still means something special.

I have a saved TikTok video I watch when needed.

In light of the Nico situation, I thought I would post the words of the video for those that may need it. (I can’t post the saved video for some reason and I don’t have TikTok anymore)

Just let them.
If they want to choose something or someone over you, let them.
If they want to go weeks without talking to you, let them
If they are ok with never seeing you again, let them.
If they are ok with always putting themselves first, let them.
If they are showing you who they are and not what you perceive them to be, let them.
If they want to follow the crowd, let them.
If they want to judge or misunderstand you, let them.
If they act like they can live without you, let them.
If they want to walk out of your life and leave, open the door; let them.
Let them lose you; you were never theirs.
Let them show you who they really are, not tell you.
Let them prove how worthy they are of your time.
Let them see the heart in you that didn’t harden.
Just let them.

Has Heupel ever been known to speak his mind about things? I don’t mean that as a swipe at him, but he’s typically pretty quiet on outside noise situations.

My guess is that we’ll get a quiet, no speaking pause followed by a “next question”.

I hope that’s the case. Don’t give the greedy little ass any attention.
