All of Volnation is focused on NICO!

Let the kid be a freshman. These ridiculously overhyped expectations are useless to all of us and especially him. The desperation is floating through the air like volcanic debris.

However, not much about this bowl game today will impact next season. Much like last year's bowl game meant zippo for this season.

I haven't kept up with who all left for the portal/NFL so I'm just wondering = do we have any running backs left ?
I think we are ok at rb, we are or were pretty deep at qb. Samson, and Seldon are both good, well Samson is I have heard great things about Seldon, but he has not played much.

Play well Nico and don't listen to some of our fans if you make a mistake, Some of them are real idiots...Now go out and be the best QB we all know you are!
No matter what happens everything will be magnified today. He’s probably going to make some mistakes, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong w/ that. The telling thing for me will be how he responds after making a mistake. We can dog Iowa all we want, but they are a good defense and they going to throw the entire kitchen sink at Nico today.

I'm going to stand by the man, come Heil or Hawaii. And that stands especially if/when negavols, and fake-vols start to Joe Milton-ing him.

Nico is making 8 million off us folks he probaly deserves the criticism from the fanbase if he makes alot of mistakes is a big disappointment and if he can’t handle being in the frying pan then he needs to transfer. Beat Iowa!!!!

Hearing about how Iowa does not score much, I’m feeling good about this game. Nico and Tennessee’s offense has too much talent to play a really low scoring game.

I would be shocked if we didn’t score over 20 and that should be enough to win. A 45 point game would not be surprising to me.

Squirrel should get behind Iowa's secondary. Keyton needs to have a good day. If the other receivers can get separation, Iowa's box will have to open up for our RBs. Nicco will play well enough to win if the rest of the team executes. It's a college football game. If we protect the ball and don't let the zebras beat us, I like our chances. Both teams will play hard.

In a few minutes, Nico introduces himself to the world, at least Volsworld. Disclaimer: I don't really know anything about this cartoon character, except it's supposedly named Nico. But, uh, I decided I liked the coloring it wears, and it sort of plays on Nico's skinniness, so.... Howdy Nico!!!!!

Gaaaah how can you watch that shiz? They are going to slobber over Gump all damned day. And of course the rest of the anointed four.
I only stopped because they were talking about our game. Of course they spent the entire time mispronouncing Iamaleavas name.

Normally don't pay attention for more than a few seconds. Flat out embarrassing what they do to poor Corso nowadays.

LA is all about lipstick on a pig and calling it a Beauty Queen. That goes for most of their old venues and most of their stars that live there. If you you seen some of those stars without their makeup, you know what I mean.
Amen to this.

LA is one place I have zero interest in ever seeing again. Place would have to improve to suck.

First thread coming at about mid way through the second quarter: "Should Moore be given a shot to start next year?"

The second in the 3rd Quarter: "Merk is clearly our future at QB"
3rd thread = Jon Gruden seen in Knoxville...is it time ?
4th thread = Lane Kiffin --should we take him back?

Actually, i think a certain segment are kicking their chops waiting for the game to stsrt and pounce on CJH.

If Nico has a good to great game, CJH will be called dumb or whatever for not starting him most of the year.

If Nico has a poor game the loudmouths will be asking " Can Heupel REALLY Coach QBs? Or "Can Heupel Recruiit?"

But regardless, the bitches and whiners are stoked about today because today there really is no outcome they cant spin into a negative.

Nico is not a freshman. He’s been in this system for a full year including bowl practice last year. He seems ultra comfortable in the few times we’ve seen him this year. I think he will be fine but some bumps against a great defense won’t be a surprise.

Nope. It's a brave new world. He needs to produce. There is serious money on the line now. (Not mine, I don't bet on things with brains)

Smoke and mirrors, a lot of us probably now more (naturally) attractive people /things in the real world

NIL has been discussed 8 million times and you still don’t understand it. Let’s start with Nico isn’t making a penny off you unless you voluntarily contribute to an NIL group/fund. Nor does he cost taxpayers a single educational dollar more than any other player.

But that won’t stop knuckleheads yelling at the sky.
