People tend to use their real name and don't hide behind a screen name on several social media platforms. If we say something stupid on here, and we all do at some point, we don't have to worry about it coming back to impact us or our family. There is a difference.

This is still a very real form of social media so not sure how that changes what I said

This is barely social media. Probably by some technical definition it is, but there is no algorithm forcing content into your brain like the social media most people mean when they say it's bad.

And it's unlikely anyone knows who you actually are, making it not so great a platform for people to seek out influence and real life attention, which is the other thing people daybos bad about social media.

This is a social platform via media. Quite literally is social media

And you have a literal picture of yourself on this very platform lol

Best concert I've ever attended...
Click to expand...
I don’t listen to anything but Christian music anymore, but when I was around 21-22 I saw AC/DC at the Murphy center in Murfreesboro. It was the loudest concert I’ve ever been too by far. I legit think it damaged my hearing. I could barely hear when we left and my ears were ringing for 3 days.

That's not how it works lol. Gang membership happens at an early age and it's not something that goes away when you come into money. It goes away when you come into maturity.

A lot of people who grew up in that mess view the gang as their family, you don't just leave them because you got paid.

A lot of times, you can’t leave them even if you want out for fear of retaliation.

My dad passed away back in 2015 and him and my mom has a storage building out back and it has been packed for years and I just never went through any of it for my own reasons but here lately me and my wife has started going through their stuff to see what is even there and what we need to keep and get rid of. My dad had 5 4ft long storage bins stacked in a corner, we started there and opened them up and all 5 had nothing but record albums in them and some opened and some not. If I had to guess there were at least 600 in them. So we just put the lids back on and moved on. Then I opened another box praying that it was not another one with records. I found this Tennessee jacket,it was wrapped in a bag and I have never seen my dad in this jacket not 1 time. It looks like it has never been worn. It actually a heavy jacket. There were Tn pillows in this box and I never knew my dad buying Tn things.He would always buy Army things. It was just interesting. We stopped after that.573c9528-e630-4d0e-a33e-b9c40aec86ac.jpgc793dcde-ab92-4861-94f9-00f4805a7c31.jpg

Nobody is saying for sure. Mods on VQ are mum on it (whatever “it” is).

All of the talk seems to be stemming from a Facebook post from Boo’s mom on Facebook where she more or less said that someone told UT that Boo is in a gang. Her story is that he isn’t in a gang.

The post was a few days ago. I would think we would have heard more by now if there were something serious going on, but time will tell.

I hear the entirety of the Bama and Texas squads are in a gang. So is DJ Lagway, as well as Sellers from SCar. Did a mention Georgia is in a gang, as well? Someone needs to tweet this to their ADs.

Seems sort of fated you'd find it. What do you plan on doing with it? It's a nice jacket.

Keep Boo out of trouble for 3 more weeks til fall practice starts and he should make it through the season (of course we see dudes get arrested or in trouble mid-season all the time). Come December he'll probably try to extort us again for more $$$. If his behavior and extracurriculars have been a problem during the season, cut him loose. Let him be someone else's to deal with. If he's serious about playing 10 years in the NFL, he will stay out of trouble and grind for 2 more years.

This is why I think Tennessee could really surprise people this year. Folks are acting like we are going to experience some big drop off in QB play because of the loss of Nico. They’re comparing what they think our QB will do this year with what folks thought Nico would do this year. That’s not the comparison. We made the playoff with Nico‘s poor performance in 2024 and if our QB play this year is merely as good as Nico’s was last year, with this schedule, we have a good chance to make the playoff again. But I think QB play can be very much improved.

I agree with this.

I'd just add we also lost a lot on the defensive line so depth should be affected, tho I think front line talent is still really good. Also not knowing exactly what kind of shape McCoy comes back in is a question.

Then you also lost a stalwart center, SEC player of the year at rb...

So there are more questions than just QB.

I do think this is the first time in a long time I think we have good answers coming in. But you just don't know, till you know.

Anxiously excited/cautiously optimistic... However you want to say it.

If the QB hits tho..... Look out. If QB busts... Uh oh.

I'm the exception lol. And you still have no idea what my name is.

Yes by strict definition you could call it social media, I'm not disputing that; but only a few similarities to social media.

I think our D has the potential to be better than last year overall. We’re gonna be tough up front. Our end play has tremendous potential. Linebacker play should be improved as well as secondary play. But you’re right, until we see it on the field we just don’t know. Excited about the season, I think the conference is wide open. Should be some exciting games this year. GBO
