Vescovi will miss exhibition at Michigan State

I’d go with Charlie Brown over cat videos and high fiber diet would be much lower on my list

Cat videos are great. So are dog and other animal videos. At my age, they’re among the things I laugh at hardest.

There’s an Instagram account called therxckstxr that does voiceovers on dog/animal videos and I think I could watch those all day.

You make a good point on the schedule, but I still don't think exhibition games are wise. After scanning the schedule, I'd shoot for Hawaii but keep him in bubble wrap until then.

I don’t like his first action being a 3 day stretch against 3 likely tough teams, that’s literally probably the toughest stretch he’ll face all season, don’t think that being his first action is wise. I wouldn’t play him 30 minutes in the exhibition, but if he’s cleared 100% this isn’t a tweaked hamstring that there’s a chance of reaggravating, it means he’s good to go…I would get him some minutes and start to ramp him up from there.

I agree. Play him for a couple of 4 minute stretches and sit him the majority. We don't know what the plan is for playing time and people are assuming that the plan is to come immediately back and play his regular workload. My experience is injuries usually occur as you get tied. I would not expect ZZ to be tired in a single 4 minute stretch.

I get what you’re saying, but Zakai’s injury occurred at the very beginning of the Arkansas game. So, I don’t think fatigue or workload was part of the issue. Injuries most of the time are just freak, unavoidable accidents. But I agree with the sentiment that if he is 100% cleared get him some run, even if just a few minutes, since he hasn’t played a game in 9 months. He needs the reps.

As much as I love Vols' football, I love the basketball even more. Can't wait for Sunday's game. Having a big football game tomorrow night makes for another absolutely perfect weekend!
