A vol youtuber changed my whole opinion.

[chambers1517]

But did you like, subscribe, and commit to paying $1/month to keep the lights on?

Nope, wrong guy. I don't watch.

 

[BDP!]

Tn isn't paying the money for players that Ohio State and some of the top teams are. Huepyl is doing very well considering the talent gap. The fans are top not but UT will have to step it up to be top 5 galiber.

We have a very good collective. But teams like Ole Miss and others are pouring all there money into football while we are spreading it out over all of our sports.

 

[VolForLife83]

If we are spending like three others, we sure ain't getting our money worth.

We have a very good collective. But teams like Ole Miss and others are pouring all there money into football while we are spreading it out over all of our sports.

Which means we should accept 9-10 win seasons and not blame everything on the coaches. The top teams excel partly due to having better talent.

 

[DaddyChad]

You're talking about the money other teams are paying. It's likely this very informed youtuber is using the same crap list that came out last week

I mean Vols did outbid Ohio state for David Sanders as well.

 

[DaddyChad]

Convince me of what. Ohio State talent was a different level. That's what convinced me.

They’ve been recruiting in the top three for the last four or five years. They went out and got the guys they needed in the portal as well. We’re spending probably in the top ten but throwing money at a problem won’t fix the years we were behind in recruiting. It’s getting better but it won’t be a quick fix for us.

Build your O lines and D lines with NIL money, pay them well. Also LB'ing core pay well. Then get your skilled players out of transfer portal. Rent for a year and do it again next year. In the pros you can get away with tieing up all your money into QB but in college , rather have skilled O lineman and D lineman. One more thing , A EXCELLENT COACHING STAFF.

 

[IndianaVol]

Folks don't realize it takes time to get the kind.of talent tOSU, UGA, TX, and Oregon have...oh and that's time unencumbered by scholarship restrictions.

UT is still carrying restrictions from the Pruitt fiasco. I think those finally end this year. NIL money helps, but you aren't going to build an entire roster with just that...end of the day you still need scholarships to build tier 1 talent 2 deep at every position.

Unfortunately that may be the case. I hate it but to get top shelf talent we’re going to have to pay top shelf money.

 

[GAVol]

There is your first mistake. Listening to a Vol YouTuber! Especially boogie Bentley and sports talk J, they just want clicks, neither know football

Fan YouTubers are Football Forum posters with AV equipment.

 

[Godfatha]

I agree. Coach is doing fantastic considering but UT needs to give him a level playing field to see what he can really do.

Coach needs to shed some coaches who aren't doing their part. We spend plenty of money NIL on players like OL that never see the field.

 

[Cartervol]

Better start spending some money. They need receivers that can get open. Nico had no one to throw too the other night. Need a linebacker and maybe another safety also.. It's become who can spend the most money at this point. It's going to ruin the game. The have's will have even more and the have nots probably shouldn't even make the trip. Or just show up and lay down like Saturday night.

 

[easttnbuck]

Not when Ohio State is paying 30 million.

got a single real stat to back that up?

 

[igotworms]

Should he listen to you?

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Yes and telling this makes some fans mad. I'm mad that UT isn't putting forth the effort that the fans are. The fans are top notch and deserve better. The coaches also deserve the talent to compete but they get the blame.

UT is putting in plenty of effort. Our teams compete at an elite level nationally

 

[chambers1517]

got a single real stat to back that up?

Nope but most people have no real stats. I'm basing that on what the experts put out as far as who pays the most. That's better than just guessing.

 

[nomads-11]

So is OSU paying top $$ for their OL? Because they were the one's allowing the WR to run clear across the field to catch a ball thrown with a lot of arc. Takes A LOT of time to make that happen. Those routes reminded me of Arkansas and Georgia.

Either their OL is pretty good or Banks' bag of tricks isn't very deep.

There is something about "Sports Talk J" that just drives me up a wall

Guys voice just annoys me like fingernails on a chalkboard .

Just another guy reading these messages boards and then putting some of the contents into a YT video

Never really thought about it before, but can you block someone on YouTube?

I agree. He is terrible

 

[MAD]

Same energy as the thread title

 

[Hairy Vols]

Because they spend way more money for players than we do. I hate the fact you can basically buy wins in college now. I think we're getting more than we're paying for but this should be the expectation.

This could break your heart.. but wins have always been bought in college football. Now it’s just public knowledge.

They have way better takes than you do.

Where was this talent against Michigan the game before? Ohio state played above their mean against us. Why? Because we’ve been a bad away team this entire year. This game should have been in Knoxville anyway, but no one can think for themselves. They look at this one game and think Ohio state is the greatest team ever made without using their damned brain. Michigan wasn’t good this year. They weren’t. And they beat ohio state. Their offense looked terrible against Michigan.

100% but we use to use the high ground and act like we were better than that but now the reality is we wouldnt have paid if we could.
