appreciated having him- kinda disappeared this year after Arkansas but I hope the best for his future.

I’m getting tired of reading about quitters. No one on this team besides maybe Brazzel is worth remembering. Too many great Vols to celebrate for me to remember the likes of anyone who let Vanderbilt whip them.

Play like you give a damn about the Vols or I can’t give a rats ass about you.

I understand the sentiment. With all the $$$ involved now, it's even easier to be cynical.

Seriously, four more days.. What’s to gain? Is opting out code for got kicked off the team for disruptive behavior?

Just end most of the bowl games and go to a 24 team playoff. These players don’t care about the MCB and Mayo Bowls

Good luck Josh! Enjoy playing on Sundays.

Expand to however many teams it takes, but write penalties into their contracts for leaving early.

Only if he's an altar boy

Fans don’t care that much either about mayo bowl, etc. McB a little more only because it’s a home field type game. I mean I always want to see the vols play though.

He is going to get drafted somewhere. I understand people don't like the opt outs but it is another player Heupel can point to that was selected in the NFL draft on the recruiting trail.

Yes, he should absolutely risk his health to play in a meaningless bowl game. Why even have a dream of playing in the NFL when he could just devote his life to TN because that's all there is in this sport.

Teammates and coaches. Fans.

Exactly. There’s a lot to lose. He’s played a lot of football games for this university and done helluva lot more for this school than me and most likely you. It’s not like he’s opted out of a CFP game or even a prestigious bowl game. This gives Herring and Ross an extra opportunity to get more reps against a physical B1G team.

These contracts after the House Settlement.

I was under the impression that we all understood they’re getting paid to play. Let’s start there.

Are they conducting gain of function research in practice? What’s this health risk? We didn’t lose McCoy on the gridiron

I thought he was only a sophomore?

Revenue sharing is considered a benefit, not an employee contract.

He is a senior.

You're right, I dont know why but my feeble brain went to Jordan Ross..

 

[preacherrandy]

He is a senior.

You're right, I was thinking about Jordan Ross for some reason.
