According to Tony Basilio, we met with a QB

[Vols till I fall]

Tennessee is willing to pay $4 million for a QB. And UT reps met with a potential QB today according to
@TonyBasilio

I didn't hear him say they met with a potential QB. He also said certain boosters could pay 4 million if they wanted to

 

[Rememberthelate90s]

I bet we would pay 4 million for a qb. But not nico. Hes not good. We won bc of defense and running game. Not bc our qb went hendon hooker on somebody.

Was there ever any question about this? I don't think that is even a factor in this whole thing.

I hope we don't. We have a chance here to at least place the hammer and stake over the heart of the vampire that is sucking the life out of our beloved sport.

This isn't us stopping nil. This is us saying you're not worth that so walk on kid.

Seriously???? Now, take a deep breath and tell us how you really feel SpaceCoastVol!!!

That's laughable. You really are addicted to exploiting college athletes for your personal entertainment, are you?

I think the stand they were making is “we won’t pay $4million to THAT quarterback”, not “any quarterback”.

 

[airvols]

We probably did meet with a QB today, Peyton Manning to get a contribution.

And now they are exploiting the fans. Cool beans.

Only if they met him at the Masters

What I am reading here is that ya'll want to go hire a mercenary. Good luck with recruiting going forward if we do. If we do hire a mercenary, I hope Merk and McIntyre both leave and I would hope they go to another school and kick us in the nuts.

This is wrong what is going on here.

And that's a good thing?

It can be necessary without being good. I hate to say this, but I’m asking myself what other teams would do. Would they refrain from seeking the best player they could get just to keep from pissing off two kids with a combined 16 months in the program?? I’m not sure that’s what we should do.

I didn't bring it up. The first post brought it up

I think it sends a terrible message.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Yeah Basilio the paragon of sports reporting integrity. Probably saw Heupel talking to Hooker today and his (dim) light bulb went off.

 

[sonofUT62]

I think it sends a terrible message.

I think I don’t disagree. I also think that we owe it to 80 other kids to do whatever we have to do to win. It’s a gross situation and I don’t feel bad for despising Nico and fam.

Round whatever of throwing stuff at the wall and hoping it sticks.

 

[C-south]

Hopefully we can finalize a deal.
