How long will it take for fans to start bitching about the amount of money invested in basketball team if they underachieve?

Not gonna lie!..with the amount we’re all of the sudden spending towards basketball I feel like this is the last ditch effort trying to get Barnes a championship before he retires…just seems like a gratitude going away party…makes me sad..I’ll miss Barnes.

You ever wonder if Cobra Commander had the tech to have a fully one way mirrored face shield. Wouldnt he have ability to incorporate a looking glass apparati into said shield? Or did he rely on Destro for such things?

Truthfully it is beautiful and poetic to see him lose his temper and throw them.

JD Pickell brought up a great point when discussing Tennessee football. He said if we were entering this season with a known quarterback that the discussion would be how high in the top 10 we’re ranked. He then brought up the fact that every quarterback Josh Heupel has had was in his first year. Hendon Hooker was the exception by taking over most of 21 and starting all 22. Joe Milton one year. Nico…. Joey…. Outside of Hooker, every quarterback has had one year in the system and we’ve been tremendously successful. Why would this year be any different?

Scripture — Acts 2:25 (NIV)

“David said about him: ‘I saw the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.’”



Reflection:

When David spoke these words, his life was anything but predictable. He knew victory, but he also knew caves, betrayal, pressure, and seasons where the future felt uncertain. Yet in the middle of all of it, his confidence wasn’t built on circumstances being stable—it was built on God being near.



“I saw the Lord always before me…”

What we consistently place before our eyes shapes how we interpret everything else. If fear stays in front of us, fear often drives our decisions. If control stays in front of us, striving usually follows. But when the Lord stays in front of us, perspective changes.



“Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.”

The right hand was a place of strength, protection, and support. David wasn’t saying life wouldn’t move around him—he was saying he would not be moved from who anchored him.

.

You may feel pressure this week. Responsibility. Decisions. Unknowns. But stability doesn’t come from controlling every variable. It comes from remembering who stands beside you.



And when God is near, you can move forward with steady confidence—even when outcomes aren’t fully visible.



Prayer:

Lord, help me keep You before me today. In the middle of decisions, responsibilities, and unknowns, train my eyes to look to You first instead of reacting to pressure. When fear tries to move me, remind me that You are at my right hand. Anchor my thoughts, steady my heart, and help me walk with quiet confidence—not because life is easy, but because You are near. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Because GMac doesn't seem to be capable of running it anywhere near well, and Faizon is a true freshman, while he will get better, the only reason this is a neck and neck QB competition is because GMac isn't where he should be.

Nico wasn't bad, but he was just slightly better than mediocre. I think Nico 24 production results are about the best we are going to get out of either of these guys..this year. I don't know if they can even do that..the 24 team had a cake schedule compared to this one.

We really needed a bridge QB this year. I am afraid that not getting one is going to cost Heupel big time. Our stupid fanbase will run him off for "not meeting their expectations" and ruin everything that the future holds.

Heupels offense (with legit QB play) plus Knowles defense (with a year more) is going to make us perennial contenders.
