Admittedly I was shocked when I moved to Western NC and learned they were the Blue Ridge Mountains...and further east was the Pisgah Forest.

I just always figured the whole damn thing was the Smokies 😅🤣😂
The whole thing is Appalachian Mountains. It's broken into sections from the northeast down to Georgia.

The devil hiked the Appalachian Trail on this way down to Georgia. . .
 
Just think, Keaton has caught thousands of passes in practice. He doesn't do it when needed in the game. He's a 'choker'. He chokes when the easiest of passes can be caught. You can't tell me someone over there on the sideline can't run routes and catch passes. Heard a 'homer' on a call in show saying we need more time to develop a passing attack and for the receivers catching passes. Nope, that's what practice is for, idiot. Bring it from all of the hundreds of pass routes ran THIS YEAR in practice to the game. If you don't have it by now you never will. Replace him. Give the next one in line a chance to show he can be counted on cause we're not seeing that from Keaton.
Why don't you just say, "What has Keyton done for this team lately"?

I've not crunched the numbers, but I can say Wright won't be a 1st rounder and the yearly $$$ available for RBs is already pretty low compared to other offensive positions. So that extra year of NIL money and another season of what will likely be a better offense (Nico in year 2) next year could help his draft stock a ton.

Wright is 26th in the country in rushing yards, 16th in YPC, and 227th in rushing TDs (he only has 1) and the NFL rarely drafts a single RB in the 1st so unless he finishes the season strong it's a big uphill battle.
I hate injuries, especially like Bru has, but. . .

The injury could be a blessing in disguise if he returns next year, when we return to the offensive style we had with Hooker. . . catching passes from Nico would probably cause Bru's value to skyrocket.
 
Well, your post really gave us no chance since the officials are going to screw us at every turn. So I figured we should just surrender and not even play the game.
I never surrender....when I played basketball, the worse we were outmanned the harder I played...and I never stopped until the clock ran out.

Just because I think we are going to get screwed doesn't mean I think we should quit....I hope it pisses our boys off so much that they play like possessed berserkers.
 
I don't think the passing game was terrible. I think the results of it were. If receivers caught the catchable passes and refs called the obvious pass interferences, the passing game looks much different (not just last Saturday, but all season). Add in the success we had running, making the passing less necessary. We found a way to win, despite the things working against us.
I mean...that is basically semantics...so I will say it this way...we executed the passing game terribly.

I don't know what to say about the DPI, so it looks like we are not going ever get calls, our guys are going to have to learn to fight and claw for the ball and to get open...I mean it has happened over and over and over again.

It looks like a hit was put out specifically on our offense by the SEC....I hate the evil corrupt bastards.

No. I didn’t misunderstand the guy’s post. Keyton made some big catches last year. He doesn’t get a lifetime pass for that. He has been a bust this year.
You literally said “we lost to florida this year.” When the guy was talking about last year, clearly. So you misunderstood, clearly. Try again!

Making one big catch in a game last year doesn't excuse dropping multiple TD passes this year. Players have to perform, or they should ride the pine while someone else DOES perform.
He had multiple big catches in multiple big games. How long have you been watching the Vols games? Only this year, or do you completely erase all memories of prior seasons when a new season begins?
