Truth about Nico

He’s brainwashed by his father & only sees tomorrow.

Troy Aikman, last fall, said if he’d had it all to do over, he’d gone to Tennessee. Majors recruited him. Here’s a guy in the HOF, 3 SB rings, a huge job on Tv but he sees what Peyton Manning has, celebrity status at a football school & he misses it. UCLA games are lame with a 40k crowd & FB is nothing special there.

I’m afraid a lot of these guys are making decisions solely based on the $ today. Thomas, a Tennessee kid, leaving for Miami was a quick buck decision.

All of this has been discussed ad nauseam, but it’s still true. They screwed themselves out of a LOT of money being egotistical and greedy. They screwed themselves out of being legendary with the fanbase. He still has a chance to make a lot of money if he can get drafted.

But he has zero shot to be held in the kind of legendary light that he would have been had he won 10+ more games and won UT’s first playoff game ever. We still talk about Casey and Heath Tee and Peyton like they were invincible. Imagine if Nico had won 12, 13, or more games this season. Where would he rank?!?!?

I will answer that one for everyone. He would have never paid for another thing in Knoxville or a large portion of the state of Tennessee. Heck they may have even put his face on the back of the scoreboard.

Not really. I think Nico was a flop and fled to not take the heat he would have face had he struggled this year.

The best thing we fans can do is turn up our support for the players who choose us and remain with us.

We should become the most encouraging fanbase, and not make that fatal slide into an entitled fanbase.

NO,,, I can't imagine him winning that many games even with the best cast from last year and the best to come this year!
