IF Nico plays tomorrow, what welcome will he receive?

[secking]

Would be very interesting to see/hear. Nico will forever be known as the first college football holdout.

What reaction do you think he would get and which one would you give him?
We need an undo button on CFB to take us back to 2019.

I don’t think Nico will be seen again in Neyland or with a T on anything he wears. His time is done.

 

[ChrisOnRockyTop]

I'd boo him about as much as I did JG

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

Bye ! No respect after cutting practice. Fans and possibly the team will turn on him. I do t see him wearing orange again.

 

[zeppelin128]

I'll lose some respect for Heupel if Nico trots out there tomorrow.

 

[Kicker82]

If Nico remains a vol after all this I’ll be shocked…but I’ll cheer him on like any other player in orange and white

 

[Pacer92]

Black eye all the way around…

Heupel needs to give Merklinger the reigns and not look back. I think he’s smart enough to know the boo’s aimed at Nico will be aimed at him sooner rather than later, if not.

That’s just it. Even if the boo’s don’t come tomorrow they’ll be loud all season if he plays anything similar to last year

Is it possible for any human to be booed more than JG was? Man, tough, tough times. If you were a Vol fan through all that crap you are a true fan

 

[madbamahater]

You'll lose your voice before kick-off cuz that dude was booed during the Vol Walk, warm-ups and while running thru the T

 

[rocketskates]

He’s gotta leave now. There’s really no fixing the relationship with the fanbase at this point. And as crazy as this sounds, if we were gonna take a hit the qb room is the place to see someone leave. Any qb on the roster can do screen and shovel passes. Who knows? Maybe Merk can come out and really sling it next year.

I’d say there’s an 80% chance that Nico ends up regretting this move.

 

[Rocky Top T]

He will not play tomorrow, he should be on the way home immediately

 

[It's Vols or nothing!]

I'll cheer him on like the way I did when Kiffin left in the middle of the night

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Hahaha he's not playing. And I'm happy about it

 

[mudhen]

Coach should dismiss him from the team with prejudice. He's not that damned good anyway.

 

[Deebowbear]

He has messed up now, never will be the crowd favorite anymore. Every time something happens he will be booed. Might as be gone now. No way they need to pay him that kind of money, just hope that our university doesn’t give in to him.

 

[Godfatha]

I would say about 99.9% certainty that you will never seem him in a UT uniform again.

I would say higher than 80%

He's leaving a system and a HC who historically have been VERY QB friendly for the great unknown

He's gonna have to go to a team that is absolutely desperate for a QB AND has a collective with $4 million to throw at him.

I would wager he has already found a school. No point in us giving him extra PR by playing him tomorrow at this point

If he goes elsewhere and succeeds then good for him I suppose. I would expect he is gonna go the JT Daniels route though-kinda bouncing from payday to payday until the clock runs out. Lord knows unless he has more to show than he did last season the NFL is not gonna come calling.

 

[Deebowbear]

Hope not now

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

I don’t think Nico will be seen again in Neyland or with a T on anything he wears. His time is done.

If he doesn't play tomorrow, I think you're right.

 

[Dadof2Vols]

 

[Ttucke11]

He won't be wearing any UT gear ever again.

 

[It's Vols or nothing!]

Dude is a walking bean pole

Way too damn skinny and always overthrown everything

He's not even worth the **** that drips from my ass.

 

[CladInOrange]

It’s time…..

 

[Manchester Vol]

I heard he has vaginitis.
