Hope they are right, but this is wild

I was scrolling through instagram and saw this. I understand the hype, but 5th highest odds for Nico to win the Heisman next year? Seems a little high and optimistic. I wonder if the sports book is trying to take advantage of the hype from the bowl and strike while the iron is hot. What are your thoughts?

What is this Hisenam you speak of? Why does it matter?

 

[SAPPER 5]

Is that even a thing?

Is that even a thing?

Not if you're a Tennessee Vol

You'd think after ALL the years and then last year not even invite Hendon to NY...folks would get it.

 

[GreveHaller]

And this time last year Joe was on that list so there you go …….

 

[DeadByDaylightFan]

He looks very very good, he just needs the o-line to block somebody

Did you actually WATCH Nico in the bowl game? Well, its clear they did. Nico came to us as the #1 QB recruit and it is clear that with the year to absorb he is ready to take his place. He had a LOT of intangibles that were clear to even people like me. But for butterfingers Keyton, his stats would be crazy high for a true freshman debut. He needs to learn to throw the ball away instead of eat it at times but against a top defense, he was amazing for his first start.

There is a reason these guys are pumping Nico Suave's hype. If our OL can keep him from getting hurt, he is going to be something seriously special. If we can get guys who can actually catch those perfectly thrown balls of his, it may be sooner than we think.

Just a little click will tell you, they are just wanting your eyeballs.

Pulling rabbits out of asses.

If we dont get R and OT shored up. We aint doon chit.

If UT goes 12-1, Nico gets 45 TD, 1 int, 4800 yds - he MIGHT have a slight chance, considering
who he plays for.

The Heistman is a sham of an award.

Bet we change our tunes if Nico is in contention. Bet I buy a Nico tee jersey.

 

[hillbilly]

Hope that Nico wins b/c that means we have a great year. I would take the field for betting purposes.

 

[Tnman1]

I wish that award would go away. It is given to the wrong guy a lot.

Nope. If he wins it, that's great for him, but it won't mean any more now than it did when they yanked it out of Johnny's and Peyton's hands. It's a media popularity vote, nothing more.

It's a marketing gimmick, just like everything else in this sport is now.

Hell, it may just end up meaning they have to pay Nico more, now that I think about it. Nothing demands a pay raise like the Heistman, I suppose.

 

[WillisWG]

Forget that...Nico needs to be looking at the campus map to determine which road he wants named after him.

JUST WIN, BABY!

 

[stolitonic]

Don't care. Award means about as much as winning a free ticket on a scratcher these days

A NC trophy at the end of the year is all that matters

Nico did not look like a Heisman QB in the bowl game.

They should list odds to finish second. That’s the one where UT players would be a lock

How about Heisman contender?

 

[gobravesvols16]

When the Heisman winner doesn’t get drafted in the NFL draft it kinda loses all credibility

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

No pressure.

 

[VFL-82-JP]

Okay, listen. I'm with you all on the "we don't care, it's a stupid award, selected in a retarded way, etc., etc."

Totally feel you.

On the other hand, if Nico DOES win the Heisman, you know we will collectively go nuts in celebration. For him, not for the award, but for him. For the validation of his excellent mastery of the game of football.

Whether we think they get it wrong 80% of the time or not, we'll all KNOW they got it right this time.

Go Vols!

I’m sure some DB out there will be more deserving.
