just start making more money?

at 88?!

He could mow lawns, or open a lemonade stand.

He’s had a good run. Let’s be honest I’m sure he wasn’t feeding the floor and creating a hostile environment. He will probably enjoy it more from his nice La-Z-Boy that he can now afford.

When I am 88, and nearing the halfway point of my life, I expect a La-Z-Boy section for me at Neyland.

I get that but also, prices have skyrocketed in a short time. Ticket prices are becoming unreachable to attend for many Tennesseans now.

I see where this is headed and I’m not liking it. The allure of college sports was based on a pure passion for the game which went hand in hand with affordability.

Now that we gotta pay players, affordability is going down. It’s an inverse relationship and it’s headed in the wrong direction.

True but the ticket prices are an effect of the greater issue which is poor leadership of college athletics.

I’d much prefer they not be equal to Nico in any way, shape, or form. The kid was not good.

Yet, similar production to Nico = potential playoff appearance. That’s the point I was making. Of course we would rather our quarterback be much better than a middle of the road performer like Nico.

That is for old folks. Let the seniors have those kinds of jobs.

I’m still skeptical to say we made playoffs because of Nico and not the defense and run game. Maybe I’m just biased at the moment because of how that all unfolded, but what’s one game last year where we won because of Nico? I can’t think of one where he put the game on his back and went all out. With that defense and run game, even Bazooka Joe would have gotten us into the playoffs.

Oof.

BCB is the most football knowledgeable of the pro-Tennessee YouTube channels that I have seen.

He seems like he knows what he's talking about

My retirement job, just as a hobby, would be rude people greeter at walmart or work at a Lowes or Home Depot and purposely give bad advice and send people down the wrong aisles.

And a voucher for a free Petro's.

[GiggerVol]

Dang, I think you must work at our local Home Depot. Most are rude or won't even bother to help you. They seem to go out of their way to ignore you. That's why I generally always go to our local Lowe's. I find the staff friendly and much more helpful

Travis Smith just looks different physically.


he looks like hes been running around out here for 3-4 yrs already

Merk is the only QB wearing a go pro on his helmet which is interesting. It probably means nothing, but still.

 

[DD4ME]

Regarding the 88 year old guy I can see both sides. When you are a legacy holder like he is they will usually work with you to move your seats. People get sentimental though. A go fund me to allow a guy to stay in some high dollar seats seems silly too. Would have been nice if he could split those tickets with family or friends to make them cost effective, but maybe be wants to be at every game.

Nico wore one all the time, not sure it helped at all, but good observation.

They also signaled he had the best throws yesterday. Could be they are making Joey take the spot. I like it if so. Joey has fought and won one before.

Legend. Mix paint close but not quite accurately too.

Spoiled entitled boomers don't want anything to change. The pace of change in our world is increasing exponentially and the older we get, the less change we are willing or able to accommodate in our lives. My aunt talks about how my grandfather would probably not even watch CFB today with all the changes and he looooooved UT football and was at every game until he became physically unable to go. Older folks are going to be more and more upset but the teams that focus on making the older generation happy and neglect the younger gens will probably have less success in 10-15 years.

I agree.

Oof.

Missing on first round picks hurts but this is why the Titans organization is the worst on field performing team in the league.
