UCLA

Put $20 on the moneyline for who ever plays against UCLA the rest of this season. Easy money

I hear Nico’s dad is asking for 6 million and he guarantees a winning season.

Nico has to be resenting listening to his dad at this point. Just think, if we go to the playoffs again and he is on a 1-2 win team.

Isn't there an "Around the NCAA" forum for this and all things UCLA?

instead of hating Nico, I am focusing my energy on supporting Joey

I don't hate Nico. I don't hate his dad. They did us a favor. Now, we can laugh at them for doing us a huge favor!

Isn't there a mud puddle calling your name?

When UCLA coach announced that the school was in California during media days I knew that school was in trouble. For those who haven't seen it please Google it

We got lucky with Nico leaving! How we made the playoffs with him at qb is a miracle..

We made it , because of our defense and Dylan Sampson

Nico doesn’t really care what people think. He’s already made more money than half of us on here. He doesn’t even need to go pro. He’ll have plenty of money.

I just hope TN can come close to the same electric atmosphere. Not a lot of difference between TN/GA and UCLA/UM in rivalry and hatred. Man, it will be tough but I think the fans can get us there.

Go Vols!!!

And UCLA plays at Penn State and on the road at Ohio State. Wonder what the spread will be 40 plus for OSU?

It's looming pretty ugly for u-clan.

UCLA is so bad, they could hire Jeremy Pruitt and might get better.

Pruitt is my son’s high school coach and they’re 3-0 right now lol.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

What if we win every time that they lose.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

He might have legitimately gone to the worst team in the power 4. I don’t see a win on their schedule. But their offense is better.

Perhaps we should be talking about the evaluation of Nico? Also, this kid's family is 100% now broken.

Yep. Honestly, the anti-nico rhetoric was alluring initially, but it's not as gratifying anymore and we're only 3 games in. When I watched the kid walk out of that stadium after the Utah game I think it was, I kinda started feeling sorry for him. Then I thought about his brother. No one considers what this has done to him and his potential career. I'm sure he'd like to play and cut his own path, but he was ripped away from Arky and inserted into this same mess with Nico. And as long as Nico is in college, I suspect baby brother will be right there watching the golden boy play while he sits and waits as his college career evaporates. Can't imagine what's going thru his mind always being second fiddle to Nico. What a messed up situation. Starting to this it's actually more tragic than messed up.

I'm pretty sure he does care

 

[VOLociraptorr]

Y'all seriously need to lay off of him

Remember, he did this because he wanted better players around him

 

[jvols5]

I find it mind blowing how this guy was an "elite" 5 star coming out of HS and also being one of the highest rated all time for UT recruiting by that 247 crap. I know there are going to be misses, but how is there misses this bad? Why would anyone taking any of these recruiting sites seriously? How do these sites make it if so poorly evaluated

 

[VOLociraptorr]

The locked on UCLA podcast said that his daddy is trashing UCLA behind the scenes

 

[volbound1700]

I didn't even realized they played until I woke up and saw the headline

 

[Shrimp&Grits&Vols]

Small piece of me feels bad for Nico. Small

Possibly, he can't exactly retire on it if he stays in Cali. Things are getting that expensive.
