Name of the game. Pay up and get top players. Give to Spyre and let’s win a title.
It's not a new game, though. Alabama built a dynasty by paying up, getting top players, and winning titles. That's one area, at least for now, we have a level playing field with them, paying players. It's the reason Saban hates it so much, and wants to cap it...EVERYONE can now pay up and get top players. Same as it's ALWAYS been, except for the last 17 years...where Bama can pay 60 grand to one dude, over a weekend, and not a sniff from anyone; but, let us sprinkle that much over multiple players and families, and get bent over an anvil, with no lubrication.
Spyre is so important. It's THE WAY we get even with Bama and UGA...the best players win the titles! Period
And, the only way we are going to get any REAL respect, on the field and off, is by winning. I'm talking about the kind of respect where Danny White can walk into the most powerful of rooms in college athletics, and tell that entire room, "This is what UT is going to do, and no one is stopping us". And, just when everyone is thinking 'that's impossible', we've seen an example of it for almost 20 years now. A Bama dynasty is a massive, powerful, moneymaking machine...we all have witnessed it. Its been impressive, as much as it absolutely sickens me to say it.
Now just imagine a Vol dynasty. I truly believe this, I really do...a Vol dynasty could potentially be the biggest motherf***** of all time. Whenever we are successful, the support of our programs is unmatched, and it's not even close, imo.
Imagine trying to catch up with Bama and UGA without NIL!! We tried, and failed miserably. I dont think we could have ever done it, im dead serious. NIL/Spyre gave us a massive life-raft.
