Our program is still the Tennessee program with all the positives that Bass was listing that can compete with any other program. As far as having the players necessary to win we were in a worse shape when Butch left than when Dooley left. You're mixing two different arguments.

No problem.
Through a series of complications, I developed severe chronic pancreatitis. Whenever I try to eat or drink, my pancreas swells and injects large amounts of enzymes into my stomach. Never knew that kinda of pain existed. Meds help some people, I'm not in that group.

I don't usually blurt that out first because it's most often caused by diabetes or alcoholism. Not in my case but people jump to those conclusions.

Have you looked into the Carnivore diet? I know what the doctors say about red meat but I also know doctors are wrong about nutrition most of the time. Meatheals.com is a good place to start. I am not trying to pry, just trying to help.

No one cares about general Neyland going 78-3 or whatever. That’s ancient history man and has no bearing on anything at all. We haven’t won a conference title in 20 years. National title babies will be graduating college by the time we win another. That’s not really “recent success”. I hate it just as much as you do but that’s just how it is.

All the points you mentioned, i said we may be better than some schools in those but when you add them all together we are not. Florida may not have as good of facilities but they have better administration, recruiting profile, etc. there isn’t a Grand Canyon gap and it doesn’t mean we can’t be great again somewhat soon. Being a top 15 program is something to be proud of. I’m not sure why you’re acting like it’s not.

As a true Tennessee fan, I do care about what General Neyland did. You can go jump into a lake with that comment. I am trying to be nicer this year but that’s some real chief crap right there.

That wasn’t the argument yesterday. It was about program not players, you even mentioned how the boosters and administration was affecting it and you (and others like Haynesworth) lost confidence in us ever getting back.

So again, just based off your argument yesterday I’m not sure why it’s insane to think our program isn’t the same program it was in the 90’s.

Not prying at all and thank you.
As long as I would eat lean cuts, steak was very easy in comparison to several items.
I've just passed that point now. Anything from water to too much saliva triggers immense pain and swelling at this stage.

A level of pain that I can't describe. That's saying a lot given my past injuries 😂

Sounds like he quit at Cal. I think that’s what the poster was referring to.

But he finished all the games and chose not to play in the bowl game. I don't consider that quitting. By these terms, it should be an epidemic of mass players choosing not to play in meaningless bowl games. Now we all know Vic would have played if he were an underclassman but as a 5th year SR....the risk is to great. Soooooo did Will Grier quit West Virginia? Soooooo did Christian McCaffrey quit Stanford? Soooooo Ed Oliver quit Houston? Soooooo Deebo Samuel quit South Carolina? And N'Keal Harry quit Arizona State?

Players in New Year’s Six bowls are doing the same, with at least three Michigan Wolverines not playing in the Peach Bowl. It’s not even just a bowl game thing at this point. Ohio State’s Nick Bosaannounced midseason that he wouldn’t attempt to battle back from injury just to play in college games again.

Former Notre Dame linebacker Jaylon Smith tore his ACL and LCL in the 2016 Fiesta Bowl, and it cost him several million dollars.

Football is a business, even though players aren’t paid until the NFL. Sitting out a bowl game is about protecting millions of dollars or even thousands.

A very sincere thank you.

I've had half a banana in the last 2 days and that still caused severe pain. I'm slowly starving and all my hopes are based on a "might help some" surgery and finding a pain med combination that does any good at all.

Hadn't said a whole lot on here until recently.
Just accepting the inevitable I guess and hope anyone else retrieves something/anything helpful from my openness.

Praying for you friend. If any chance of saving your life, do the surgery. Share as much as you need to. God bless.

Wow, that’s insane, I can’t even begin to imagine. Was it not caught early enough or was there simply nothing they could do?

Carnivore is beef, preferably steak and water and has healed a lot of people with some severe ailments and I thought it might be helpful to you.

For sure. HH said 15ish. Personally I think that 12-15 range currently. Historically top 10

Kingston mentioned 20.

These “top” programs are all one or two bad hires away from being “not top” programs.

Hell, people probably think Clemson is a top 3 program right now when they could easily slide to being an 8-4 team again if Dabo left.

The carnivore diet is one of the healthiest ways for humans to eat. Doctors reveive very little nutritional training. The training they do receive is based on outdate, research that was bought and paid for by the sugar industry. They still prescribe statins like candy. Why? Massive kickbacks in the way of gift cards, weekend vacations and high profile dinners.

My wife and I have been eating carnivore for almost 2 years now.
