I heard his arm fell off and that’s a prosthetic just to confuse the media. Like a Lego arm.

Oh, wow! That goes along with what I'm hearing. Don't run tell the FF but my other uncle heard that Mike Keith was attaching a bionic replacement arm on Wednesday. This will be sometime after he signs his contract to become the next "Voice of the VOLS". This is a fluid situation so TIFWIW.

I do have a few images of what Nico may look like post-op.

Imagine if the '22 offense only needed to score 20pts every game to win. . .

 

[TN-POSSUM]

This is supposedly a non-intrusive surgery so the recovery time is almost 0. Nico's new arm will make Joe Milton's bazooka arm look puny. The play book is ALL the way open now.


GO VOLS

If it's really a conclusion, it has to be a mild one. His head really didn't hit that hard and it was on the side, not in the back. I'm no medical expert, but every bad one I've seen was in the back or on top and they all looked a lot more violent than that one. I'm optimistic it was just precautionary to pull him in a game we had well in hand.

I noticed him wince on the replay, before we found out he wasn't coming back in the game.

I definitely would not have guessed concussion based on that, either.

Also. . . when is the appropriate time of the year to start watching Christmas movies? The day after Thanksgiving? 1 week before Christmas? Christmas Eve/Day?

Should you watch "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" before Thanksgiving or on Thanksgiving day?

Christmas movies, after thanksgiving.

PTA, the day before thanksgiving

This is one where I don’t trust Heupel one iota. Nico is definitely hurt but I think this is all gamesmanship to get UGA to prepare for 2 QBs.

Lol you just don’t have an ounce of positivity in your entire being. What’s new.

 

[mrMet]

Lol you just don’t have an ounce of positivity in your entire being. What’s new.

I mean what’s UGA gonna prepare for with Gaston? lol they would literally just blitz every play and he would sh*t himself

This sounds negative of me but I’m on your side here lol

 

[Jackcrevol]

Miss State scored 31 points and had 385 total yards vs Georgia. (271 vs the Vols.) They also passed for over 300 yards on the Dogs. (92 vs Vols)

I like our chances.

Novermber. You must be from Memphis.

 

[SSVol]

These rankings are a self prop though. Penn State has beaten no one so they are ranked high, which allows Ohio State, who has been beaten no one but Penn State to look better because they have a win over Penn State, who has beaten no one, and then Penn State only lost to Ohio State who has beaten no one. Then Indiana will lose to Ohio State and Ohio State will look like they have two fantastic wins over two mediocre teams have beaten no one. Then Indiana will claim their only loss is to a top ranked Ohio State team, who is only up there because of their schedule and two wins against Penn State and Indiana. That is the most aggravating part of it.

 

[SpringBokVol]

Are there any independent concussion protocols that Nico has to pass like in the NFL?

 

[ionaVOL]

Objection your Honor....relevance?

Haha definitely thought I replied to the post above yours!

We’ve been watching Christmas movies since Halloween. A new tradition.

My wife is Team Christmas. I was Team Fall. I lost that battle few years ago.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Boo Carter is a beast.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Seconded

I would say if Nico doesn’t play, let Merk play the second half.

 

[SSVol]

I understand that...I've watched it again, so I have an even better understanding of that..but..our DL played the softest, or passive that I've seen them play all year, and our LBs were out of position a lot..and missed tackles when they were in position.

The DL has been consistently violent and aggressive all year in pushing the line and getting off blocks and they just were not doing either consistently yesterday.

I know it's human nature...it is impossible to be 100% on all the time....I just hope that stuff doesn't happen against UGA or Vandy.

Been practicing for UGA, confirmed.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Well they did just kill LSU at LSU. They also beat UGA. Besides Bama, who have we beat?

Two wins against good teams
We have one.

Here’s the records for the teams we’ve played.
Vols: 37-48
Bama: 44-41

We squeeze by mediocre teams because of defense. If the offense would’ve taken care of business we would be having a different convo. Reality is, if our defense wasn’t this good our record would probably be around 4-4.

Also, when the announcer last night says, “Miss St averages more points in the SEC than UTs offense does”, that’s an issue

The people who keep going on about UGA not being a playoff elimination game for us simply don’t get it. We only have 1 good win and one terrible loss. Vandy got humiliated by SC and will get donkey stomped by LSU. They won’t be ranked when we trash them.

So essentially if we lost to UGA we would have 1 good win. 10-2 with losses to Arky and UGA won’t get us into the playoffs imo.

Thanksgiving Day for Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. Christmas Vacation is appropriate year round.
