The most intelligent team we have ever had?

Good point!


With his Florida diploma hanging on the wall, Aaron Hernandez is sitting in Cell Block C wearing a blond, curly wig.

Perfect post.

Inky Johnson said your a product of your choices not your environment. I agree with him.

That can also be true.

Call me crazy, but I think that the high intelligence level of this team shows up on the field this year. Regardless, it's good to know that many on this team have very bright futures outside of sports.

Quick search found the following -

As of June 1, 2016 (end of Spring semester), the Tennessee football team had a 2.54 GPA, down from 2.68 in the fall and 2.72 last spring. There were 33 football players with a GPA above 3.0 and six that made the dean's list.

Overall, Tennessee athletes recorded a 3.06 GPA. Teams with a composite GPA over 3.0 include women's golf (3.62), women's swimming and diving (3.51), men's golf (3.50), volleyball (3.36), softball (3.36), soccer (3.34), rowing (3.33), women's tennis (3.31), men's swimming and diving (3.26), women's track and field (3.23) and men's track and field (3.07).

If that is true then we can say that Sept. 24 will be the "Revenge of the Nerds".

Just a question here: Is the most intelligent team we have ever had? Dobbs, the rocket scientist......Darin Kirkland JR, the guy with the photographic memory. I know that every time I hear an interview with one of our players they seem (beyond the Butchisms) very well spoken and articulate (and damn it, I don't care what color you/they are). Just wondering what everyone else thinks here. Butch seems to land a lot of high character, smart kids.

Mos' def'nitely.

Cultured vs Convicts

Where do people get this notion of Dobbs as a rocket scientist, and he wants to come down here and work for NASA? All I've ever heard, is he wants to help design airplanes. I know it's kinda similar, but airplanes don't travel to the moon or mars.[/QUOTE]

Dobbs working on it...:yes:

GO VOLS!

The "safe space" crowd on college campuses these days doesn't seem to get this.

That's going to be the name (SSC) of the Union formed by the Vol's opposing QBs after this season.

Smartest team ever? I don't know , let's check the chart and see what it says the right answer is.

You know that's a good question lol. It always makes me giggle at people that are stunned at how well spoken some people are of various races. Heck, everybody is a product of their own environment doesn't matter what color they are. Intelligence, beauty, goodness, ect comes in many different shapes, sizes, and colors.

I guess it's like the white wide receivers that have great success. Some people seemed surprised in a way. I guess I just see a joke in about everything, particularly in peoples assumptions.

I'm actually very surprised when white wide receivers have success. Same with many sports though. Black people are just generally more athletic (faster & stronger) than white people. It's not a secret, and of course there's a lot of exceptions.

That remains to be seen. The 98 team was smart enough to win a national championship.

I'm just glad we have guys who aren't eliminated by the third round of an elementary school spelling bee.

And now you have explained why the OP had to say "no matter what color"

What if he had said " white people are just generally smarter and more successful in business than black people" Doesn't make the post less true, but, for goodness sake, lets be PC.
