[TheRain]

Of course, I had to ask A.I. about this. A.I. said chill... It's all good. No danger.

Now everything is in place. Tennessee is not a Nike school, they are horrible. I know Nike appeals to the whipper snappers and the trans Oregon crowd but Tennessee is Orange, White, a pair of black high top Adidas, and a neck roll. We are not tablecloth jerseys, boxer brief britches, and high heel cleats.
It's time some of y'all learned your heritage.

Titans Management thought Derrick Henry was washed up. Henry just got a 2 year/ $30 million dollar extension from Ravens...

That’s not what happened at all lol.

It's not about a history lesson, it's about knowing who you are and where you came from. As my daddy said to me when I left home, "Son don't forget who you are and who you come from."

Happy Thursday

May 15, 2025: Stay in your lane. You would love to fix everything around you that is out of order or against your code of ethics, but you have no authority to butt in. Remind yourself of your boundaries. You have authority where you have responsibility. Mind your own business. 1Thessalonians 4:10b-12 But we urge you, brethren, that you increase more and more; that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with you own hands, as we commanded you, that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing.

It's a negotiation ploy by Danny.

The Art of the Deal

but with actual negotiation

 

[rikberry31]

100% don't care about apparel, personally. Don't buy regardless.

But I suspect Nike is still much more popular with recruits. That's what matters.

If you're a football player and you are picking a team based on who makes their uniforms, you need to consider soccer'

Not accurate at all lol

I do too, its a better running shoe for me, fits me perfectly. Nike always hurt my feet and I had to put extra arch supports in them.

Not sure if anyone else remembers but the football players had a ton of foot injuries with the adidas cleats. It resolved with the switch to nike cleats. For no other reason than that, I am fine with staying with nike.

Adidas?

Let's sign a deal with Crocs

 

[Rishvol]

Adidas?

Let's sign a deal with Crocs

Might as well. My students wear more Crocs than Nike and Adidas combined

I have never suffered from Poison Ivy..as much time as I spent in woods when younger and flopping around all over place, must have no sensitivity.

That said, not gonna test this theorem on my bunghole.

When I was a kid I would hide in the poison ivy when playing hide and seek. I'm not allergic to it, I could eat it in a salad.

 

[rikberry31]

I'm sure, but I have a pair of Adidas that I run in now that are the best pair I've ever had. I've had a couple pairs of Nikes and none of them were comfortable. My foot just doesn't like them.

Nikes are too narrow, made for ballerinas and Oregon wrs.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Nikes are too narrow, made for ballerinas and Oregon wrs.

I agree with this. I can never find a Nike shoe that fits me well. They are always too tight. I found two pair of Nikes over many many years that were actually comfortable to me.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Adidas?

Let's sign a deal with Crocs

Penn State should sign with Sean John

Is your name Junior Gorg? (JK)

 

[rikberry31]

I like Nike uniforms better, I think. The trouble with Nike is that every team that wears them is contributing to Oregon’s NIL. But no one team leaving is big enough to affect Nike.

Let's solve this Nike vs Adidas thing. Alabama is an Nike school, sr*w them, Tennessee need to ditch Nike.

 

[dmwvol12]

was the fumble a touchback or TD?

Touchback unless blinded by extreme orange tinted bias. I was at the game and could tell watching the replay on the Jumbotron. Actually was the norm during that era of Tennessee football.

FU is going with HeyDude.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Any of our VFLs doing anything in the UFL?

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I hope UT signs with Spot-Bilt and everyone wears the "Spot-Bilt White Monster"!

All of college football could stop using Nike and Oregons NIL fund would be just fine.

I say go with whatever with players/prospects want. And I believe that’s Nike over the alternatives. Until OSU, Texas, Bama, UGA, LSU, USC, etc change, I wouldn’t either.

I can't imagine Nico being able to do this

Questioner: So, Nico, your team is trailing 21-17, you have the ball at the opponents 25 yard line and only 3 seconds left, what do you do?
Nico: Run out of bounds as the clock expires.
Questioner: um, yeah, we have no more questions. You can leave now.
