when you think about it..$200M for us and hundreds of millions nationwide for other schools..that is a ton of shoes and apparel..Always amazed at scale..Used to have GE refrigerator plant as client, and they pumped out thousands day or week..just one brand and one plant..Always thought who heck buys all these refrigerators.

Proper pronunciation of Adidas: hoo-givs-a-shite.

That seems wrong. There's no 'g' in Adidas.

For all you morans raising fine young men, I got two daughters who already know how to gas up a truck.

My daughters were easy. My 31 year old son that has no drivers license is the problem. Although he's never run out of gas, so...

Texas A&M is weird.

[Heupel's Offseason Beard]

Others should finally join you in having actually watched game film of Swaguilar.

Guarantee the biggest hand wringers haven't watched a second of film, or picked out his worst film against Clemson or something when he had zero help.

He's so obviously better than Joe or Nico. Just in that game...his first start ever, he is more accuarte, has more touch, poised, gets the ball out quick, goes through progressions better and just a smarter football player than Nico or Joe. Still has a perfectly strong arm!

Then you project him in our offense, wide splits, great running game to take the pressure off and the plays Heup dials up. I think we will be A okay.

The issues ppl are seeing in camp probably come from him only having been there for like two weeks and every receiver is hurt lol.

A lot of people are going to be surprised against Cuse.

I mean. The dude put up 3700 yards and 33 tds in 2023. That's not nothing. Then threw for 3000 yards and 24 td's last year, while the entire campus at App State was literally under water from Hurricane Helene. He's great at RPO and making quick decisions and delivers a really accurate deep ball that falls softly into the receivers hands.

There's gonna be picks, but people need to remember that Heupel's MO is limiting turnovers. His starting QB's have only thrown 18 interceptions over the last 4 years. Thats 4.5 a season. I don't know, I have average expectations, but I think there are going to be a lot of exciting moments this year. And under Heupel, those moments usually go in our favor.

I've watched. I hope you are right but, Aguilar is not without his warts too.

Heck. I begrudgingly pay over $100 for hotels and over $25 for restaurants. I'm stuck in the past.

Yep. I'm hurting because I'm shelling out $140 apiece for UAB tix in upper level.
Only because it's the 8 yr old's first UT game - he's going with "Pop"
Total with hotel and gas expected well over $1000

Knowing how and doing it prior to 0 miles remaining are 2 different things.

It's the mattress stores that defy understanding

not in Knoxville in past with all burning

Could the whole media session have been scripted to look bad?….Players not returning during open session and not the best routes during open?

I think there could be some gamesmanship going on with that was witnessed by media and fed to us…All Fake News.

No way. IMO

Boo will end up being like Juwan Jennings. He will be beloved before it is all over.

I hope to God you're right, I would love nothing more...but, he has a looooong way to go before I even mention him in the same sentence as JJ. Only a handful I feel for, the same way I feel for JJ...he's up there with the beloved of the beloved, you know. Manning, Al, Shuler, Big John, Kent, Peerless, Berry, Hendon and a few more others.

Boo got work to do, to be even close to that list.

I think he mentioned Jauan on purpose because he had once been kicked off the team and later (smartly) reinstated.

 

[DD4ME]

Ahh the TN WR practice plan

 

[DD4ME]

Pretty cool

 

[Batman1948]

Eric Dickerson reference?


He got the maroon Trans Am from Texas A&M. Then committed to SMU for the cash. Then kept the Trans Am and dared the Aggies to complain about it.

So, ATM was the culprit driving the NCAA to kill SMU

Wonder what new rulz SEC has in store..beside that defensive motion stuff.

I must add I don’t think Jauan ever been on the wrong end of any fights. But other than that I’m hopeful for Boo, his Mom is nuts though. JJ Dad was a state trooper, good thing it seems like Boo’s Dad is more level headed.

Suck it, Dieger Pavlova. Suck it, Vandy. Suck it, random-azz TV series.
