It was unsolicited, but AP questioned the training staff this morning on 104.5. He said we changed trainers in the offseason. Suggesting it’s taking a lot longer to get guys back out there than years past but then backtracked a little when he realized he probably opened can of worms, saying they’re perhaps much more conservative.

Intriguing. If that is the case, are those people on staff next season?

With Brazzell's emergence, I think it's fair to say no team is better at identifying the right fit through the portal.

Last two years:

The hits:
- Brazzell
- Aguilar
- Kitselman
- Heard
- Moi
- McCoy
- McMurray
- Hood
- Pendleton
- Moe
- Star

Staes may be the only true miss in that time frame. The hand wringing was prevalent over the offseason and for what?

Bottom line -- this staff is really good in the portal.

STAFF ain’t beggars but they are choosy….

I never thought he’d be a scrub. I thought he’d be good/average/serviceable. Like a rung or 2 above Nico at the least. I agree with you I didn’t think I’d be watching a guy come in and light up Georgias NFL defense after a few months in the system.

I thought HH was the greatest QB I’ve seen us have since the Iceman and even he wasn’t capable of that. Joey just gets it. He has all the intangibles and he’s played so long that defenses aren’t able to confuse him or shake him. Saturday was the best defense he’s gonna play all year. There’s no reason to believe that was a standalone performance.

But he does not have the great QB name of 22…

Florida fan nails it on these guaranteed contracts for coaches. What is Jimbo Fisher doing right now? I bet he's not working that hard whatever it is. I bet he has a lot of time to golf and fish. And I bet he has a big pile of Texas Oil Money that will last him, probably the rest of his life even if he lives extravagantly.

Nobody forcing the schools to agree to stupid contracts…Supply and Demand.

I beg to differ, sir. The name Aguilar comes from the Spanish word águila, which means eagle, or from rocky places where eagles like to dwell. And where do eagles make their home? On mountain tops. Which means an Aguilar is literally an eagle that lives on a rocky mountain. Joey was destined to play here!!!

In case I wasn’t clear enough, Aguilar can be roughly translated to “Eagle that lives on a Rocky Top.”

The older I get the more I realize there are no coincidences because the Lord has a plan for all the world and everyone in it.

Also, this is nega but I don’t think 10-2 gets Vols into playoffs this year.

If the VOLS are 10-2 and don’t get in then you are probably saying the SEC only gets 2 in? No way. If the VOLS are 10-2 chances are at most there will be three 10-2 teams in SEC by my glancing at schedules. Just don't see VOLS missing at 10-2 especially one of those 2 being OT loss to Ugly.

The thing that has me optimistic about Heupel is that he's always done more with less and now he is getting more. So how much more can he do with more? Wait...

Agreed - plus, he’s adapting. The offense is night and day different from the past. He’s evolving as the game evolves. I think he’s a keeper for sure.

This is the most accurate - IF none of these teams flame out.

I think it’s only bama and OU.

Florida will have 5
Losses by the time we play them.

We will be expected to beat them. And a close game or loss will not be good for optics.

But the UF game worries me the most.

Bad juju. On the road. Probably at night.

Everyone will have checked out, including their players, by then. $100 tickets.
Welcome to the transfer portal era.

I will 100% not walk down the specific scenarios of how we or other teams could be left out, but IMO it is not 0%. Think FSU or just a dumb loss late. Let's focus on winning all the rest and staying healthy.
