How many TDs has Aguilar thrown against SEC competitor and in Heupels offense? How long has Aguilar been learning Heupels offense? I will be shocked if Merk isn’t the starter.

Just because he has decent success at App State doesn’t mean he can walk into Heupels offense and do it.

How many for Merk?

1. Predator is an example of a movie that never should have been remade.
2. By the looks of that, they really half-assed it on the remake it too.

I’m present at the Big Orange Caravan tonight in Memphis.

I’ll let the thread know if I hear anything funny or interesting.

Tidbits from tonight

Danny White:

“Tennessee was ranked #1 in apparel sales and #1 in concession sales in all of college athletics for 2024”

“Tennessee finished 3rd nationally and #1 overall in the SEC in the directors cup. Highest finish ever”

“Tennessee has won the SEC athletics cup for 3 consecutive seasons”

“The south endzone renovation cost $370 mil to renovate and it will be fully operational this upcoming fall.”

“The new Lindsey-Nelson layout will be a hornets nest and the fans will be closer to the field than any other ballpark in college baseball. This work will be complete by 2026.”

How do we finish 3rd nationally and 1st overall?

Animation quality has declined in a lot of productions due to the decline of theaters. They're spending less money and time on single productions and instead trying to get out as much as possible. There's notable exceptions, and Disney has invested a ton in their CGI stuff, but by and large it's declined. Its pretty sad.

I corrected it. Long day.

1st in the SEC. 3rd nationally

Don’t blink (or ask me HOW), but the Braves are one game out of .500.

I’m going to need to see some documentation.

I was pretty upset about WR recruiting. Still am. I would encorage anyone to listen to latest Bra pod. Pretty eye opening.

Schools are recruiting as though the revenue sharing is happening.

Kids in porthole in Spring arent usually the cream of the crop. Utah WR only had 400 hards refeiving.

We missed our time in the Fall porthole.

Coaches are looking for backups at all positions.

Cant explain Hs recruiting other than, we are focusing on porthole.

Kids who are normally not that coveted are demanding starter money. And we have a value bases on analytics.

With the changes coming everyone will have money. Amd this is where I thought AP shot an arrow directly over Hueples head. The difference is you will med recruiters otherwise youll be behind.

Yeah, the vast majority of the major programs are spending similar $$$$. That’s why we need guys on staff that can get someone like CeeDee Lamb on the phone to vouch for their coaching ability. That’s what’s keeping us from recruiting in that 5-10 range consistently. We have some of those guys on the defensive side. Outside of Huepel on offense, not so much.

Pretty good turn around after the 0-7 start for the Braves...

Evidently the Predator will be the main character in the new movie, so they softened the look to try to make audiences more sympathetic to him. We'll see. The guy that directed Prey also directed the new one and he did pretty good on Prey...certainly better than all the weird ones that came out after Predator 2.

Because of experience, he is the better quarterback and gives us the best chance to win early in Aug/Sept.

Starter might change at some point but out of the gate, I think he gives us the best chance.

I got experience and there is no way I should be given the starting job. This is all speculation until there's a side by side comparison.

Happy Wednesday

April 30, 2025: Beloved, you must not waste time worrying about your future. You only have today to make decisions that benefit you and those around you. Stay present and live in the faith that I God is with you to direct your steps and to reveal solutions to difficult problems. Put your trust in the fact that you belong to the Lord, and He takes care of His Own
Matthew 6:25 Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?

it starts at the top. Josh is not an intense, recruit your azz off kind of coach. Nick Saban could bring in elite talent no matter who he had as assistant coaches. We need to do a better job at identifying talent and have a few elite NFL players to demonstrate that our system works. Josh has done an amazing job in every other area of the program.

I feel like I need to revisit the “no fear” sticker comment. I DID think it was lame, because I was an adult when it was popular.

Now for the full disclosure……. when I was a KID I had an ULTRA HOT sticker on the back window of a 1983 Mazda 626 with home stereo speakers in the trunk.

So while I don’t shy away from taking shots at others, I’m more than willing to make fun of myself.

Another word for fear is respect. Anyone who has no fear is basically an idiot.

If he has the ability to throw vertically then he will be better than either of the two previous qbs.
