E$PN The second letter is ALL they care about.

I listened until nearly midnight as John Ward announced the 1998 national championship game and after game radio talk show. I heard him sign off the last time for UT football after that game. I knew that a significant page in UT history had ended as I had listed to him since the 1970s. Back when...

Reminds me of the commercial...."This is your brain on drugs".

The "roster problem" starts to evaporate fast in your 5th year and is a memory in year 6. Highly respectable success thus far (except vs. GA) considering where we were. As a Vol fan for 40+ years, I just hope we don't migrate back toward the mediocre days of the 70s and early 80s and get...

And many Big10 players Heisman Trophies over more qualified SEC players. There is huge bias. You're making my point on the 3 NC in 20 years. E$PN think their preferred conferences deserve it over the rednecks/trailer park-ites in the south.

Because they have a Big 10 (and old PAC 10) bias. If you've not noticed that in the past 20 years, I can't help you.

Oh sure, the E$PN boys are going to try to eliminate as many SEC schools from the CFP as possible to protect the Big 10. Well, since is all about money then, I’m sure the SEC will. If I was an AD, I would schedule 2 bye weeks every season and fill the other 3 games with D2 / FCS schools.

If this is the case, we may never see another QB with "the full playbook" with NIL, portal-madness, "development players", "2*-Jimmys", etc.

.....and this has been my suspicion. That he felt like his starting role at UT might be in jeopardy considering his slow progress and 2 nipping at his heels not to mention the 5* coming in January for '26 season. I think he felt the pressure and asked for more money than initially agreed to "get...

So.....the OL of the future will be 5*/4* at each starting position followed by "projects", 3*s and walk-ons for depth. Awesome.

Loyalty is a forgotten virtue. It didn't start with players however, it started with coaches chasing $ made possible by E$PN.

He's also married and a father.

I'm sure he'd rather play in the ACC than the SEC or even Big-10. The less caliber players (specifically DBs) will help pad his stats and inflate his rookie year contract numbers. It's all in the plan (his daddy's plan).

I'd take the Vandy QB over Nico right now. I said it then as well.

I just look forward to him throwing 400 yards a game against P5 teams.
