Plus it’s fun telling rich alumni which college kids they should spend their money on.

Telling other people how to spend their money (firing/hiring coaches, NIL, season ticket prices, etc.), a Volnation tradition unlike any other!!

December 14, 1967

Obscure, but pretty cool.

During Bob Hope’s “Christmas Special,” Bob Johnson was introduced as the Center on the LOOKS All-America Team. One of Johnson’s “teammates” was OJ Simpson.

Johnson was a 2x All-SEC player and was named the SEC’s best Lineman and best blocker in 1967. He was also an Academic All-American and finished 6th in the Heisman Trophy voting.

He was also the first draft pick ever by the Cincinatti Bengals.

In 2024, in the big three men’s sports, Tennessee fans witnessed only 5 home losses. Two in basketball and three in baseball.

This really brings into question Danny White's commitment to excellence. Crank up the Fahr'n macheen.

It would've been Golden Eye if it were me. . . or Chibi-Robo!

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

He would be less miserable in Dallas?

It would be awesome if he got drafted by the Cowboys. Mainly for @butchna and the rest of us DFW VFLs

They should just do it. What's the worst that could happen?

Jimbo Fisher is impressed.

Christmas Parade in Seymour @ 3pm today. Find an alternate route or park and watch if you're driving through the area.

Well said. The really good ones tend to be some of the smartest guys on the roster. In our system the center is the second most important position on offense behind the quarterback. Obvious every time Cooper was out. We did load up on OL in 23 recruiting so hopefully some of them are ready. It does seem likely we will need one or two from the portal but that seems manageable. Hard to lead the SEC in rushing if your OL coach sucks?

The most that I have ever watched the OL was when a good friend’s son was the staring right tackle for Southlake High School. He was a really smart kid and was never rattled by the DL. He watched film every week of the upcoming opponent. He knew their tendencies and knew what they would do depending upon how they lined up. It was so fun to watch him totally keep his opponents out of the backfield. He gave up one sack all season. One game, his Dad was telling me that the DE was a 5 star already committed to texas. The first half the DE never got past the line of scrimmage and didn’t make a tackle. 2nd half, they moved him to the other side and he made some plays Until the coach had the RT pull and he pancaked the 5 star DE. The guy didn’t play anymore.

His Dad told me that he was going to A&M. I thought on scholarship, but no, son was ready to move on to his career. (Something in computers). I was extremely sad that such a smart football mind was going to waste it on computers.

Is there one of these for the B1G? I’m more curious to see how awful most of the conference is…

 

[LaagerVol]

Probably like a Jordan Matthews situation. "You haven't produced/performed up to your pay. You're taking a pay cut on a 1yr contract to prove yourself." Not to mention he's currently 4th on the depth chart behind Lewis (Freshman) and Bishop (Walk-on RSFR) with Duane Morris coming in next year.

I think he's got a world of potential, and his injuries have been extremely unfortunate. Hopefully he overcomes the injury bug at his next stop.

This whole post is conjecture lol

i think letting cam seldom walk is a mistake

Is he leaving?

Is he leaving?

About to hit the portal

 

[InVOLuntary]

Literally just finished a bottle of that. One of my staples. Easy to drink. Smooth. Really good bottle for the price imo. Blade and bow is a very close second.. Better than Blanton's, at least as good....Basil up there for me too. Eagle rare is tops for me...

If you like Blanton's give Bowman bros a shot. It's Buffalo Trace juice, same mash bill as Blantons, aged in VA. If you can find the single barrel, all the better.

The 30 for 30 about the New York Sack Exchange from the 80's was very good. Gastineau was drama
