Yea there is, I circled 3 areas where there’d be enough room for parking lots or a least a parking garage

Everything on the other side of the river is turning into apartment complexes, which means all of that is crazy expensive. Buying land and building a parking garage to use 8 times a year is probably not in play. Not unless there is a massive need for student parking, which is not something UT has ever cared about before lol

There has been just one inside-the-park, walk-off grand slam in Major League history, and it was done by Roberto Clemente. His historic trip around the bases gave the Pirates a 9-8 victory over the Cubs.


Jack Hernon of the Post Gazette writes: “Brosnan made one pitch, high and inside. Clemente drove it against the light standard in left field. Jim King had backed up to make the catch but it was over his head. The ball bounced off the slanted side of the fencing and rolled along the cinder path to center field. Here came Hank Foils, Bill Virdin and then Dick Cole, heading home and making it easily. Then came Clemente into third. Bobby Bragen had his hands upstretched to hold up his outfielder. The relay was coming in from Solly Drake. But around third came Clemente and down the home path. He made it just in front of the relay from Ernie Banks. He slid, missed the plate, then reached back to rest his hand on the rubber with the ninth run in a 9 – 8 victory as the crowd of 12,431 went goofy with excitement.”

We should definitely see an improvement in QB play this year. Nico (I believe) can process better, has more touch, and will likely be more accurate.

But that doesn’t change the fact that WR play was subpar last year. Keyton’s drop of a TD against aTm was a perfectly thrown touch pass by Milton. He lofted it into his hands. The drop against UVA, same. There were many others. Thornton and Bru had some bad drops too that weren’t the result of hard throws.

One reason for excitement is that we should see an improvement in both QB and WR play this year. I think the latter was worse than the former in 2023…but both were below the level we need.

just Nico's willingness to run will be huge. Milton was pretty good running, when he chose to be, but usually that was a second too late and the DE was already tackling him. Nico has a faster, but definitely not Hooker-esque, decision making on runs. but that was true freshman, making first start, so I am not worried about that.
