Utah vs UCLA

[theroyz71]

Yup we triple the ratings of this game

Half of their TV audience is probably Tennessee fans.

Yeah they need to start playing these games earlier knowing how many of us in the eastern time zone are watching.

If he continues to be this bad, I doubt I’ll watch much of their games… Even though I like the train wreck.

If there are no better options, I'll probably watch. Nothing like seeing a good ole fashion train wreck.

I’m not disagreeing with that. I’m saying I hope he makes better choices in the future.

You’re correct, he made a bad decision ethically trying to get more money from us. JH made a good decision not giving in. Nico forgot, this is UT. We are bigger than one person. We had talent behind him.m and probably better “football“ players.

 

[VOLtaism]

I see his strategy after this game. He is the only player they have that is worth NIL. Now he will hold them up at every turn until he gets his 4 mil.

Privileged versus grit

 

[FranklinVFL]

11/22 137 yards passing 1 TD 1 INT 220 yards total offense. And the Nat sports media thought UCLA won the trade

That narrative is going to change.

 

[first time caller]

Alabama pounded, Texas (and the Arch Heisman watch) derailed, Nico and his dad humbled…what a wonderful Saturday.

 

[Vol737]

Well, looks like this is turning out pretty much how anyone paying attention, with an ounce of background on the situation, knew it would. We all saw what Nico is and isn’t, his dad overplayed his hand, got an answer he wasn’t counting on and had to attempt to save face by serving him up to UCLA. And the press tried its best to buy the false narrative that it was so he could be closer to family. Way to play those cards, Pops.

 

[Sarms58]

The supporting cast makes all the difference in the world. Having the league’s leading rusher and one of the nation’s top defenses helped pad Nico’s stats last season. Don’t get me wrong - I think he’s a very solid college QB and had good numbers for us last season. But he’s on a much weaker team this year and we’ll have to see what it looks like for him after they get into league play. He gets a return trip to OSU and their D looked to be at least as strong as they were last year.

Memories
Light the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor memories
Of the way we were

Thank for posting this thread in this forum and not in the TVF

 

[mprock]

Glad Nico is gone and take his daddy with him. It was for the betterment of the program.

 

[Shaun1985]

Thank you for this. The comments didn't disappoint VN did its thing.

 

[Shaun1985]

This gem. Literally dead if true

"Fox pulls plug in NoCal

First they broke into the game with a random block of commercials. Then they returned for a play and voice guy says "we now join regularly scheduled program already in progress." Now they're showing Modern Family"

 

[C-south]

Thats kinda gay

That’s not kinda

 

[Hairy Vols]

I see his strategy after this game. He is the only player they have that is worth NIL. Now he will hold them up at every turn until he gets his 4 mil.

100% chance if he play doesn’t improve he will never get paid again.

 

[Vol8188]

I wonder if Nico finishes the season? I could see things unraveling fast

 

[HeavenUniversity]

I once worked at the same company as my brother, who had been there for years. I didn’t work with him, but absolutely hated the job and “ you are so lucky to be here” attitude from management.” It caused a ton of strain on our relationship because I hated the place from day one and he knew it. I gave it one year almost to the day just so I could say to him I gave it a fair shot. A complete waste of a year of my life. I can’t imagine what last night and today are like between Nico and his Dad.

Idk that he’s going to be able to finish the season. Limping after this game. Ohio State will hurt him if he even plays that game.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I thought Manning had a pretty terrible debut and then Nico says "Hold my beer".

 

[Vol737]

Wonder what college football coach’s phone is ringing this morning with a call from “Big Nick”? “Coach, I can give you Nico for $2M next year! Whadda ya say?”

 

[dduncan4163]

And that's playing from behind the entire game.

Exactly, it'd be funny if it wasn't so sad

I love this fanbase! Didn't realize how much of our shared craziness I had been missing during the off-season.
