I would agree except for the fact that Tennessee has really good leadership in place from Boyd to Plowman to White. We have good leadership in place for the first time in years and good leaders don’t listen to a few loud mouth fans. Remember it’s less than 5% of the fans making 95% of the noise. It’s not a coincidence we are highly competitive in all the major sports.

Yeah, my ultimate concern is less with who is in charge at Tennessee and more with the general professionalization of the sport, particularly without any good rules or governance. Even if it did have good rules, it probably becomes just a second-rate competitor to the NFL, especially if they remove the 5 year limit for players. I’m not an NFL guy, so the more it becomes professional, the less likely I am to stick around.

I’m curious about the next couple of seasons, will watch but will reassess from there how much time I want to devote to it.

This actually is true irrespective of how well Tennessee does. I just am not that interested in watching a professional football league. It was the amateur nature of it that had me hooked for so long.

Watching Nico pull an NFL-style negotiation tactic for more money was a real inflection point for me. I expect that stuff to happen more often from here.

Let’s go young man!! Maybe not the high end guy we hoped but he is going to come in with a definite chip on his shoulder.

Nearly 60 TD’s in his career is almost as good as we could’ve hoped for when this all started

Hell I hope not. Still think Merk could start in Atlanta.

I bet Heupel gives him every chance to win the starting job. Heupel wants to win but he simply had to have another quarterback. I would think Merk and GMac are fired up for the opportunity to win the job. May the best man win.
