There's literally nothing negative to say about the Adidas deal. We can even go back to pointing out how Nike uses more slave and child labor than any other apparel company.

If you want to complain about design bc of how bad our stuff was just prior to Nike then sure... except the team that designs Vols stuff with Nike is being retained to design the new stuff AND the bad Adidas designs were for a short period. Their stuff prior to Dooley/Butch was fine.

You underestimate the commitment to misery of some of our fans.

In other news, had a little ringneck sunning on my sidewalk yesterday. Handsome fella.

Do they know everything? No. But they do know more than you're giving them credit for.

I trust this staff, but I don't have the blind faith you seem to have that they can do no wrong. No one is perfect. Not even wise old Yetis such as myself. You've put the coaches on a pedestal.

Despite what some may think, it's okay to call a screw up a screw up. Coaches know when they make mistakes. Most fans are smart enough to know it, too. They don't need synchophants making excuses for them.

FTR, I still like our chances here.

You're making to much sense. Most these guys think we are going to win every game, every year. You're not allowed to bring up the fact that we have struggled at CB WR and OL recruiting and development. Any great organization cuts dead weight. If we get a shot to hire an upgrade at any of these positions at the end of this year, we should.

I have a Damascus bladed Bowie knife that is such a work of art that I almost hate to stab people with it! (You can take the Memphian out of Memphis, but you can’t get the Memphis out.) 😳

In my experience, you should be OK if you stab them in soft spots, away from a lot of bone. (Come to think of it, you should be a SME on that.)

So let me get this straight:
  • DW tries to renegotiate the Nike contract.
  • Nike won’t budge because they think we’re only worth $5M a year.
  • Adidas steps in with one of the largest endorsement deals in college history at $20M per year (per DW).
  • Adidas hands full creative control to the Tennessee Athletic Department.
  • Adidas also starts to work on undisclosed NIL deals for current and future Vol athletes, entirely separate from our own NIL program.
And yet… Negavols will still find a way to 💩 on this because they’re convinced the jerseys will somehow suck 😂

@Ulysees E. McGill doesn't call all the losers out for nothing. He's right about the legion of the miserable

To be completely fair to Adidas, the shirts and other items I saw on Miami’s website were actually decent looking, if not better than Nike’s, but the shoes were absolutely horrendous. lol

At least Adidas has some classic/comfortable shoes we can choose from until they figure out whatever they're doing with the current shoes. They have enough classics in whatever colorway or scheme we would need (orange, white, black, grey)
