    Georgia is out , candy in trouble as well

    Vandy is gone, good for Tennessee, bad for the conference, but "sacrifices have to be made"

    The Official #8 Seed Tennessee @ #1 Seed Texas SEC Tourney Quarterfinal Game Thread (Thurs. May 22 4PM EDT) (SEC NETWORK)

    Totally giving a game away, had the batter in a two strike hole, runner not going to steal with nobody out, air mail a throw that never should have been made, the two strike batter plunks it into left field to tie the game up, nobody else plays this inconsistently, mistakes at this level are...

    The Official #17 Tennessee @ #8 Arkansas Series Thread (Thurs. May 15 8PM EDT ESPN2) (Fri. May 16 7:30PM EDT SECNET+) Sat. May 17 3PM EDT SEC Network

    Tough weekend, Arkansas might be a more talented team from the top of the lineup to the bottom, but the talent gap is very narrow and as some of the younger guys on the Tennessee team get the necessary experience, hopefully, many of the errors, mistakes, bad swings, misplaced pitches will go...

    Not Hard to Understand Drop Off This Season

    SEC teams have run all over pitching and catching out there on the base paths, too many signals and indications the Tennessee pitcher is going home with the pitch, having a hard time throwing anybody out at second or third base, we have like 4 catchers on the squad, game changes with opposition...

    He’s a good kid

    Has nothing to do with politics, you selectively snipped the last part of the post to fit your left coast narrative and interject politics where none were intended nor identified. Talented kids from all over the country can all play at Tennessee and play well, if they have played in the...

    He’s a good kid

    The Nico experiment failed and failed miserably, yes, we were 10-3, but the collapse at Arkansas was preceeded by a hang on against Oklahoma, overtime against a subpar Florida team and unorganized Alabama team, showed the continued lack of development of Nico other than his bank account...

    Wake up Vols......

    CJH probably needs to hire a top shelf general manager to better interface with the NIL exchange to keep the head coach out of the public facing parts of this drama, he needs to be fully involved and engaged in this process, but shouldn't sully himself with the sordid details connected to...

    Where is Nico likely to land?

    San Diego State or perhaps Fresno State, but putting his skill set into a Power 4 Conference will produce no different result that what was experienced at Tennessee in the rigorous conference schedule.

    was Cublic being facetious or serious?

    Probably looking to set up a lawsuit against the university for interfering with his NIL agreement with Spyre Sports, in an effort to try to spin away from the exorbitant cash demand that his handlers felt he was entitled to. The university and their exchange needs to negotiate these deals...

    One thing that we can not overlook

    Would like to hear from Spyre Sports, are they still contractually bound to pay Nico the $2.4 million under the existing agreement or was that agreement terminated, i would hate to think that hard earned booster dollars were still flowing to a guy not on the field for Tennessee, but they could be

    NCAA Power 4 GM's throw shade at Nico and his demands according to NYT's article

    More often than not, skill positions are products of the high school environments they play in. Lagway played high 6 A football in Willis, Texas, where the speed, strength and agility of the high school game is more akin to those skill sets necessary in the SEC. Also, Lagway was Mr. Football in...

    Did They Steal Nico's $?

    Wonder if Nico was old enough to sign an NIL contract when he was recruited by Tennessee, was he 18 at the time he (a) signed scholarship/grant in aid documentation and (b) signed NIL exchange agreements with Spyre Sports or did daddy have to put ink on paper as well. Not too sure how deep the...

    Per Thamel: Heupel informed team this morning that Vols would move on from Nico.

    San Diego State or Fresno State are better suited to Nico skillset, last season he accounted for two (2) touchdowns in the Arkansas, Oklahoma (1), Florida, Alabama (1) and Georgia games, can't blame everybody else for that lack of explosiveness without looking who is lined up a quarterback...

    IF Nico plays tomorrow, what welcome will he receive?

    And he goes out on his own accord requesting $4 million a season and not getting it, boo hoo, where he was grossly overpaid at $2 million a season, when he committed to Tennessee, he was the face of the NIL process, putting Spyer and the university on the map attracting the NCAA's microscope in...
