Watching "The Juice" on SEC network

The idiotic background music is definitely in the foreground during the QB part. Can't believe they thought that was a good edit. Could barely hear what anyone said over that RACKET.

Then the Owings part was great. Cut the music off thankfully.

100%
if it's just "homesick" crap.......I'm done with him.

If it's a serious "mental issue," that's different. But I still say go home. And give us our $$ back.

Think it’s vertigo with the combination of some mental health issues. Difficult spot for UT to be in because you want to support the person through challenges but at the same time you also have a team you’re responsible for.

People making the argument we should rely on the porthole. After this id rather trot 30 freshmen out there.

Legend Bey says hi.

 

[TheRain]

I agree.

 

[MemphisVol3]

I don't think he can play for anyone else this season, anyway.

Or can he? The rules change every 5 minutes so who knows. I don't think he can.

He wouldn’t be able to transfer anywhere this late and play.

If the NCAA can enforce their own rules, which is questionable. Could even go to court.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

The Lane Kiffin Rule will BAN coaches from leaving their teams before the season ends.

Would a coach challenge that in court?

Should also ban coaches from nailing coeds.

Too busy flexing our NIL.

He looks like he is dealing with a lot right now…

If congress actually passes said legislation then it could definitely [my emphasis] withstand a court challenge as it is actually their job to establish laws and for the court to interpret said law. Getting them to actually do it is another story but the reason many are wanting congress is because that is the only perceived avenue to be able to withstand a court challenge.

No, what you're describing is more like the British Parliamentary system where the legislature is supreme. Here, the Constitution is supreme (while subject to amendment). The clause about interstate commerce, for example. But I don't know if what you mean by "could" is that "it could [or could not] withstand a challlenge, depending on how the high court ruled, or that it definitely "could."

Anyway, what you would get would be more confusion, more lawsuits, and the added squalor of it becoming a "political football," if I may put it that way. It appears to me that it would become what some like to call "unsustainable," although I don't think they have any idea what that means. But it sounds dramatic.

If you don’t want to be competitive and settle for being a bottom dweller in the SEC, then sure.

Only if they avoid violating the constitution in the laws they make. The courts can definitely strike down laws that aren't in line with the constitution.

If they want to revise the Sherman stuff, that could definitely work. But I'm guessing that the MUCH further reaching corporate implications that could accidentally stem from that will prevent them from risking it. They're just politicking right now with the NCAA stuff to try to convince constituents that they're working on things the people care about.

It would be more likely imo, now that you mention it, that they would make changes to the Sherman stuff with an eye to something that would be destructive and highly unpopular but a boon to certain backers; but never mention any of that. Make it all be about football in public, and then sometime afterward it would be "accidentally" "on purpose" "discovered" that there are major implications that never could have passed without having been concealed in a football deal.

How could Knowles, Poindexter and Jackson not have any incling that this could happen with Chaz? This is a failure across the board if he doesn't come play. Ridiculous.

Yeah, I’ve seen people getting on to Heupel for not vetting him properly, but if the guys you just brought in to coach the defense (and who just coached him at his prior school) are wanting you to sign him, how much more vetting are you supposed to do?

 

[TheRain]

If already posted I must have missed it.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Legend Bey says hi.

wouldn't that be Legend Hey?

 

[VolGee4]

I don't think most of the non-blue chip types are making the kind of money people think. Kids like Miles Brown are probably only getting like 40-50k. Hence why he chose Kensucky because while he'd be a depth piece here, he's probably immediately in kensuckys two deep and they likely offered him 20-30k more. Which is a lot of money to walk away from.

But if when we sign 25 kids this year, they're not all making six plus figures.

I can’t say how much players are getting, but I think you’d actually be surprised how much they are getting. Pretty sure there was a suggestion that GMac was making 6 figures last year. Yes, he’s at a key position, but he was 3rd string. I’m willing to bet our 5th WR is making six figures.

There aren’t many high school guys that are going to jump right in to the 2 deep. Even 4 stars will get decent offers and not contribute until year 2.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Cut our losses and roll with who we have. Don't want this team overshadowed by a single player. He's had time and space to figure out his issues. Stop payment and move

do y'all remember when we didn't recruit any DL? yeah me either

 

[swchandler1988]

do y'all remember when we didn't recruit any DL? yeah me either

Jog my memory, did we recruit:

Xavier Gilliam
Coleman
Jordan Norman
Nuk Simmons
JJ Finch
Deoreon Albert
Darryl Rivers
CJ Edwards,
Kendrick Golston
Hezekiah Harris
Breeze Carter
Zach Groves
Carter Gooden

I just want to be clear. I must be remembering it wrong…take a lap

They should. That’s not a team/coach problem. It’s an NCAA schedule problem. Not sure there are good answers too with the academic calendar. But LSU and Ole Miss had the right to demand Kiffin go to LSU. No logical company/manager wants a lame duck employee sitting around their offices with their colleagues for weeks.

It’s going to start becoming very common to see coaches (Not just ours), deal with these kind of issues in the long run whenever money is involved.

They get paid regardless whether they play a single down of football or not.

[Sandman Vol]

I don’t see what happened. And he was hopping on his left leg like it was the right that was hurt. Weird.

 

[swchandler1988]

in the porthole

Do Coleman, Norman and Gilliam not count?
