I get what you're saying, for sure! Although Merklinger is short on experience, he's been here a while now and SHOULD be able to handle the offense from an x/o standpoint if the coaches are doing their jobs, IMO. He's not chopped liver, so say the ratings gurus.

I don't understand why we are in this situation. We have TWO very highly ranked QB prospects on campus right now, yet our supposed "QB Guru" cant get either one ready to play by Sept???? So... either CJH whiffed recruiting a QB worth a **** since he's been here, or he isn't the QB whisperer...

Just get RID of conference "championship" games all together. It's nothing but an opportunity to have one of your conference teams take another L. Greed is going to really bite the SEC in the ass sooner than later.

IDC who it is. SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!!!

I think you are assuming a big DL drop off, but IMO, there is a tremendous amount of young talent in that room! Some stars will emerge, IMO.

We'll be lucky that Ament doesn't haul ass on us now that his lead recruiter/coach went to Indiana. It's been said Rod Clark was the big reason he committed here.

That's called the UFL.

And then we'll just be right back to "money under the table" stuff like before. They are creating another problem. No school who seriously wants to win championships will care about a cap. i.e Bama, Auburn, USC...

How 'bout we reserve the label for those who actually earned a degree from UT? How many of these "free agents" will even attend a damn class? I mean as crazy as it sounds... its still COLLEGE football, right? Even if it's in name only.

Well that's interesting. Everywhere else I've read says that there are no binding contracts, hence all the chaos with jumping ship, re negotiations, etc. If there are in fact "binding contracts"... what's the problem? Somebody must be writing some REALLY ****** contracts for us!

UT has always been a poverty program that bargain shops. We've been fortunate to get lucky with a couple of hires that have succeeded in winning championships. This is nothing new. Barnes is the ONLY big name coach besides John Majors that I can remember UT ever hiring. And again... we got...

CONTRACT???? I thought there were NO contracts? WTF is going on? Do they have binding contracts or not???

Yeah.... What ever happened to the 'Ol APR???? Kinda just faaaaaaded awaaaay. "Academics"... riiiiight.

I'd take him as the 3rd string option in a heartbeat. Starter? I'll go with who we have.

Its a little of both. OSU was definitely the better, more skilled, team. However... UT barely gave any effort after about the first 10 mins.
