Stfu Sankey.

[knoxvol52]

this is dumb

 

[Volunteer821]

Ladd is better than any receiver we’ve had since the adoption of the internet

Status confirmed......

Wonder who our 3 rivalry games will be against. Alabama is 1 and who will be the other 2.

Should be Vandy and Kentucky based on history. But that would give us an unfair advantage.

 

[Brillovol]

Knelled it.

Ya know what's been difficult?

Scouting Syracuse. There's like zero ppl saying a word about anything, but steve angelli. Just that they lost a lot. A DEARTH of info.

Best I've found. Their D line sucked last year and they lost their 2 best. Should be a great entry level test for our offense.

Its dumb. Have no interest in watching an 9-8 TN get passed up for tourney in lieu of 17-0 Indiana.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Put on the UTEP game from last year

man...Nico struggled even worse than I remembered.

Way behind Squirrel on a slant

Way over Bru's head on a comeback route

threw it at Dylans feet on a routine checkdown

threw it over Bru's head on a deep shot.

Didn't pick up a blitz on 3rd and 8. He got it together

dropped a snap.

Scoreless first quarter against a horrendous UTEP team.

He was awful

 

[knoxvol52]

Its dumb. Have no interest in watching an 8-5 TN get passed up for tourney in lieu of 17-0 Indiana.

Get it correct. It will be 15-2 Indiana..

Who have we had that was better? We’ve had 1 1000+ yard receiving season in the NFL since the late 90s, and that was Peerless Price his fourth year in the league. Ladd went for 1150 and 7 TDs his Rookie year as his teams top receiver. I hate Georgia more than any program in the country. If their plane crashed it wouldn’t bother me a bit, but it’s just a fact that Ladd is better than anyone we’ve sent to league. College production to me isn’t an indicator of how good someone actually is at their position. What they do in the NFL when there are very few exploitable players on the other side of the ball is the real barometer for how good someone is. Just look at how average or just outright bad players like Tebow, Mariota, Manziel, LaMichael James, Colt McCoy, Michael Crabtree, Sammy Watkins, DeAnthony Thomas etc have been once they got to the big leagues. Systems and matchups within big games can make a player look better than they actually are, and that fact is actually why Keys is committed to LSU right now rather than us

 

[drvenner]

finally, someone who gets it. Good coaching techniques, average recruiters other than defense.

The p***y generation...they make me wanna puke...the social engineering garbage of a certain side has worked to a tee...just completely freaking castrated a huge portion of the last 2 generations.

Not speaking to OP's exact situation, but is it healthier shoving it down deep, never talking about it, finding yourself constantly angry for no reason, then dying an early death of stress and heart attack...

That's the social engineering part. Telling men they can't be human. Gotta "man up" (because we're so special) and never show emotions (unless it's anger, fighting, screaming, yelling, all byproducts of keeping things buried deep). Men are just as emotional as women, if not more. But it's only socially accepted if it's some destructive, not therapeutic, outburst of emotion.

I get not wanting everyone to be eeyore. Totally. Goes for both sexes. But we men aren't special, we're just human. Folks should embrace their humanity, find real therapeutic solutions to their inner demons, and maybe they'd be less outrageous and abusive towards others. We can embrace our own humanity and show empathy for others in the meantime. It's not that wild a concept.

Stupid. Just going to wreck ourselves. Will be no adjustment to SoS. Still need 10-2 to make the playoffs, while Indiana goes 11-1 playing the school for the deaf.

Meanwhile smaller schools will die off.

But oh that sweet sweet $$$

As a fan I love it. Get rid of the stupid BS games.

Low IQ post!!

 

[Revived2002]

With new schedule, fans have to readjust to seeing 8-4 as a high quality season

 

[VawlIn]

Low IQ post!!

No, low IQ is thinking otherwise. Of all the Tennessee WRs to play in the NFL the last 30 years we only have 1 1000+ yard season. Ladd did that last year as a rookie. It’s not even an argument

 

[VolNash17]

Recruiting matters even more now, Tennessee has had a relatively easier SEC schedule on average than their counterparts the last two seasons now 2026-forward it gets tougher

From what I've deciphered, they're gonna stink and Aguilar is being slept on. Vols by 20+ and the 1st Quarter Boys reclaim their spot on top of the betting world.

Vols -7.5 1st hafe
Vols -13.5

Never

Indiana is a lock for a first round bye every year lol

 

[drvenner]

Visited Iguazú National Park while in Brazil today.

Unbelievable photos. Holy cow

 

[DD4ME]

People will say we got the easiest draw. They will be right, but they'll be the same asshats that laughed when we had Bama and UGA at their peak. I expect to get tougher than average rotating schedule from the league as a response.

How so?

 

[knoxvol52]
