About time.

Know anything he did?

 

[nicksjuzunk]

This helps

Singlehandedly ended the JG era and turned the fan base on Pruitt

 

[volbeast33]

Great idea. More eyes on the Vols. Marketing

Great move..... we should hang 70 that night.

One of the Stiffest, most wooden acting performances I have ever seen...

Preseason FPI and opponents:


UT: 48th (albeit 12/14 in the SEC)

Teams much lower:
Tennessee Tech: FCS/Unranked
Bowling Green: 126th
South Alabama: 118th
Vandy: 93rd


Teams ranked within 20 spots:
USCe: 68th
Pitt: 51st
UK: 39th
Mizzou: 34th


Significantly above us:
Ole Miss: 22nd (26 spots higher)
UF: 14th (34 spots higher)
UGA: 7th
UA: 1st


Despite defensive deficiencies, I have a hard time not finding 6 wins here. Maybe that's orange colored, but this purely statistical model also agrees (predicting 6.6 wins for us).

Strangely enough AFAIK FPI is usually pretty generous towards us. Does FPI take into consideration players transfering out?

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

FPI is the most useless index of all time.

 

[Weezer]

It seems insane that we wouldn't have already done this. The fact we're facing NCAA sanctions speak to him failing at his job.

 

[Weezer]

Is it wrong that I would love to play a Washington State team led by JG? Or any team with JG as QB?

 

[lilesrt]

I laughed out loud.

Except for the people around the country who will be watching the Ohio State-Minnesota game also scheduled for Thursday the 2nd.

Henry To'o To'o won't have an easy path to playing time at Alabama

He seriously could be a bench warmer- But daddy knows best, I guess. Doesn't bode well for NFL career, though.

The sad thing is that I really do believe this is all about dad and that's a relationship that will cause HT problems until he becomes his own person. I see no point to this transfer unless he legitimately hates the coaches and I don't think he does. He's about to go from being the star player to being one of many. He will make good plays but he won't be the center of attention. That said, better support will make him look better when he gets playing time but the NFL would've figured that out regardless of where he was.

We should, and my BVS starts kicking in when I say things like this, beat TN Tech, BG, SA, and Vandy based on pure volume of offensive production so that they just can't keep up.

USCe is a close game every year, but again, if our offensive production is where we think it is going to be I don't think they can keep pace.

Pitt is an unknown honestly. I don't know much about them.

UK and Mizzou should be good games but I can see us winning either, none, or both.

I see six wins there if things shake out like we would expect them to. I will now go crawl under the bed, pull myself into the fetal position as I recall the last 6 years or so of games we should have won handily and we either had to fight the whole dang game or just lost outright.

Is that more or less games we'd be competing with for viewership if the game was played at NoonEST on Saturday?

The only way we're drawing national viewers away from that game is if we're on upset alert.

Are you a DB and do you have any eligibility left?

 

[Weezer]

Just thinking of our defense feasting on a former teammate makes me giddy.

But then again, he'd probably just think he was back at practice and have the game of his life.

lol just go back to lurking. You're already past your 0.40 post/day average.

 

[Weezer]

So Sham is gone again? We really need to get some DBs from the portal. I hope some more good ones enter the portal to be gotten.

Ooooooo wow shaming someone’s post count. What an original argument! Enjoy the L to this lurker

We only have one more spot for transfers right? Seems to me DB isn't as much a need to the coaches as it is to the fans, or, they are just accepting the situation and looking to fix it in recruiting and the next cycle.

I teed that one up goood...on purpose..lol

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Has he ever been relevant here? He's not even listed as being on the team. I don't think this is a loss but the negavols will just see another Tennessee player in the portal

I don't even givacrap anymore...he wants to become an enemy...so ****im...all of them.
