Another one of the great ones gone. Rest easy Mr. Kiner.

How's that working for ya?

These two QB's are gonna work with the wide receivers during the summer on getting the routes down, being on the same page. Aguilar will most likely do the same thing, but he has a bigger learning curve to deal with. Merklinger has the advantage as far as time in the system, so he probably will...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like there was some talk from someone, don't remember who, about Nico asking for more NIL money before the playoff game. Anyone else remember anything about this?

I get it, it just seems illogical. I can remember hearing his named called several times last season. No ill will at all to him, I hope he finds the opportunity he's looking for. Just the state of college athletics in this era.

If he's able to ever make it to pro football, and I'm not so sure that isn't gonna happen, the stigma will follow him for whatever career he has. Sad to see a young man being destroyed by his family. He should have broken ranks with his father and honored his contract with Tennessee. I don't...

tOSU, USC, Oregon, Notre Dame, have all said they aren't interested.

Sometimes, it not as much about the money, it's the principle of the thing. Didn't he just get a bump in January? Now he wants to hold us hostage again 3 months later? I honestly think he had already made up his mind that he was leaving. One other thing; in a post I read yesterday on here, does...
