Mike Matthews to portal? [He’s staying]

[BigOrangeTrain]

Nailed it

AP did confirm it until he learned more info. Bit I am sure you knew that.

The worst fanbase in all college athletics has to eat crow again. We had a 10-2 year, made the 12-team playoff in the first year and we have idiot fans on here wanting coaches fired and talking trash about 18-19 yr old kids. We act entitled and have acted this way for quite some time. This fanbase can't be happy with a Top 10 football team, #1 ranked men's basketball team, undefeated Lady Vols basketball team and defending National Championship baseball team. Danny White has done a phenomenal job as AD and bringing in winning coaches to bolster the athletic program but as always, this fanbase thinks it knows better than the people that are running the show. Its sometimes embarrassing to watch and listen to this fanbase.

Just so we're clear, I was just kidding when I said he was overrated.

 

[gobravesvols16]

Glad he’s staying but we’re probably going to have to go thru this bs again with him and Boo after next season

 

[LAVol1]

Wrong. He is going in the portal. AP confirmed it earlier.

I didn’t…..but I also didn’t run around flappin my gums that I know everything.

Family, agents and handlers all influence kid's decisions. Agents want bigger cuts for their own pockets. Not enough money to meet all of demands.

 

[SalVolinus]

If we close the deal on Branch and Jefferson we will be right back to natty contenders.

How quickly things can change...

Couple that with our road game against Ohio State being closer than the #1 undefeated team played them, and it's almost as if Heupel didn't just become mentally challenged overnight. Who could have known.

 

[CAVPUT]

Boom.

Now close the deal on Branch!

Is he the best we can hope for? Is there no one still playing that might be a better option?

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

Now go spend the damn money to get the Branch bros and their coach while you're at it.

Act like you really want to compete for championships....

And their coach? Is there anything to that or just rumors?

We all owe Spyre and Heupel a big thank you.

Are you saying everyone needs to donate?

Two of those freshmen TEs are freak athletes along with Davis and Kitselman so the TE room should add dimension to the passing game if the freshman can get SEC read.

"This piece of crap is leav..."

(Sees he's staying)

"Oh my gosh, he's a VFL. We love you MM!

 

[tennrich1]

We went from seemingly heading into depression with our WR corp to now we're shooting for the moon. I suspect most knowledgeable fans never really thought MM was going anywhere. Actually....did he ever enter the portal? Anyway...IMO....the real area of concern for me is the OLine. Hopefully...we can shore the Oline up, mature a lot, and have a great spring (get stronger, faster, and smarter). BasketVols, BaseVols, etc rolling/getting ready to roll and this is a great time to let football rest a little.

We are 100% the most bipolar fanbase in history, and I love it.

We aren't the worst fanbase in college athletics. Not even in the conversation.

Passionate with some idiots. Every fan base has it including Austin Peay.

We should probably hire a GM to handle these things so they happen a lot less public.

 

[TikiVol]

Imagine if we get Branch, and Jefferson to go along with Matthews, Staley, Brazzle, and Boo! Just went from a sinking ship to a real threat!!!!

Then focus on o-line!

 

[Oldvoldad]

We have to get much better in the OL and DL to contend for anything and Nico must play better

The spot nobody talks about that dropped substantially after the PILI injury is MLB. We desperately need to improve there.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Guess the sky isn’t falling anymore lol

I didn’t think he actually would leave, felt it in my gut this was a contract negotiation tactic. Just didn’t feel like he really wanted to leave

Speaking of meaningless, let’s examine this post!
The versatility of depression concerning this player does not bode well for the composite mental health level of this forum. Manics Unite!
