The Continue To Pile On Nico Thread

I watched the 2nd half of that game. Nico looked pretty decent IMO. He brought them back with a chance to tie in what was a blowout early. UCLAs porous defense made enough plays too.
 
Trying to decide if he's late on the throw and rushes it or just throws a bullet for some other reason. Definitely was a bad decision that time.
watching his receiver all the way and didn't see the LB standing there?

he had another receiver wide open at the 20 yard line, too focused on one receiver

There's a thread on the UCLA fan board at 247 Sports entitled, "JON GRUDEN NOW". lol. Can't read the thread because it requires a subsription -- and no way I'm doing THAT -- but it's hilarious to see Gruden being invoked at places other than VN.com. Heh.

Go Vols!
They’re wishing themselves some Gruden down in Gainesville this am as well.
 
Glad Nico is gone.

Glad his chump dad/agent is gone.

Glad that Coach Heupel had the guts and smarts to deny the attempted extortion and let him walk.

Glad Aguilar has played well so far.

Can’t wait to see how Aguilar and this team do against Georgia next week. A lot still left to prove. And we have even more to prove against top competition on the road.

So far, feeling good about things.

A quick look at their schedule and it appears UCLA doesn’t have any sure fire wins ahead and after these next 2 games I would guess they will be big underdogs in the final 8 games. New Mexico didn’t get boat raced by Michigan and beat Idaho so maybe that’s a toss up? Northwestern lost to Tulane 23-3 so maybe that’s their best chance for a win? Is 1.5 wins the best guess on over/under? Their coach’s seat is going to be red hot it appears

AG is going to be a problem for defenses. You just can't teach experience.
 
I really don't care to see him succeed but that ucla defense is gonna ruin their season. He played pretty well in the second half but he doesn't have the team around him to prop him up.
 
Nico was good about handing the ball off to Dylan Sampson for the 1st down
Nico has dreams at night that goes like this = "Wish I was back on Rocky Top , down in the Tennessee hills,"
Nico will hear Rocky Top for the rest of his life
 
We owe a debt of gratitude to Nico for contributing to our future recruiting success.

If there was ever any doubt that Josh Heupel & Co are among the best at showcasing players in their best possible light for the NFL draft, Nico just made himself Exhibit A in support of the argument.

Go Vols!
 
Mods how can I put anything aNico related on ignore?
You can do that yourself.

You just gotta program your brain to:

(a) input (read) thread title
(b) word-search for "Nico"
(c) if "Nico" found, do not click on title
(d) iterate forward one line to next thread
(e) repeat (a) through (d)

As brain-computer programming goes, it's a fairly simple and straightforward algorithm.

Go Vols!
 
At least Nico has his family together - especially for his little girl. And we have a scrappy quarterback. Everything is working out.
 
This is just a sad situation for Nico. I didn't watch the game but looked at box score. It looks like he had a decent day passing but was also the leading rusher after getting sacked twice. UClLA's offense just sucks. It makes you wonder what little brother is thinking. He is sitting there watching Nico's future go up in flames, will he stick it out or will he bail out?
He should've stayed at Arkansas but dad messed that up too

He reminds me of a slightly better version of JG. He’ll do just enough to make you think he played better, but then you look and the team only scores 23 points against a Mountain West team.

He looked better in the second half. But again, a Mountain West opponent…that went to a soft zone for un-understandable reason…and ultimately 23 points and a loss. Plus, the game ending INT.

The irony of that has to be hitting him and Big Nic like a ton of bricks
