Simple: we’re being beaten in the NIL game, regardless of how it’s being sold to us. It’s the only thing I’ve been upset with when it comes to the current athletic department. I’m not sure what the answer is, but I’d like to see us go harder in this realm. However, we’re still making strides and improving, so I’m happy overall.

Eh, I’d rather continue doing what we are doing.

Look at A&M’s 2021 or 2022 class. They threw around MILLIONS and they have 2 kids left from that class.

I like that we don’t throw big numbers around at these kids. Let them prove it first.

We will pay the kids when they earn and deserve it, not the kids that cry.

Give me this and give him six

Heup schemes up 10+ plays like this a game...we've just been hitting on them at a 10-20% a game clip...it is so frustrating because it us not just one reason either.

Every game goes like about like this....a couple of plays are missed QB or WR reads, couple plays are just drops, couple of plays are bad throws, couple of plays are some stupid effing penalty on the OL, couple of plays it's a missed or botched blocking assignment...just on and on and on.

It's just frustrating as hell because we know that if they would just execute at a 50% clip on these plays that we would blow everybody off of the field because NOBODY is scoring on us like they were able to in 22.

I spoke to my son about what I posted last night. He said the Bambu Labs was definitely the way to go. He said that the only downside was that you had to use their proprietary filament. They add an RFID tag so the printer knows what you are printing with.

I mentioned that I told you that you need to be proficient in 3D cad to use one and he said that wasn't necessarily true. He said there are libraries where you can download projects and print them. If you want to design your own stuff.

If you want to get into 3D cad, he recommended using Fusion 360. You can use it for free unless it's commercial use. I have to pay for it.

I just got into 3D printing back in July. Bambu is definitely the move. It does everything for you. You can download and print other folks models from bambu studio. I bought an A1 mini but would like to buy a bigger model as I'd like to sell prints. You don't have to use bambu filament. I've used other brands, you just have to manually enter the info. That fusion360 is EXPENSIVE lol. I have no idea how to use CAD but that's interesting about libraries. I didn't know that.

Best start in program history? Pat had an undefeated season.

Uhmm...pretty sure that meant best start to a CAREER..

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I thought the same. But I’m wondering if it’s alluding to the scoring the team is doing? Was the 97-98 team destroying its opponents in the same fashion this team is?

It meant best start to a CAREER...

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Not to be a douche…

But the 97-98 team was 30-0 and won the NCAA tourney…

Best start to a CAREER..

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I think it’s just worded poorly. I think this is the best start ever for a new Lady Vols Coach

Obvious has hell to anybody actually thinking..

Ryan Day thinks the ReliaQuest Bowl is a big deal.

Ryan Day about to think his soup is a big deal.

Someone smarter than me answer this. What is preventing college athletes from having unlimited eligibility? How does eligibility running out not cause some form of antitrust/legal issue? Since the players are basically employees or profiting form endorsements how can they just tell them they’re done playing after 4 years? I think Pavias case opens a can of worms.

Peak at the right time. GB!

Alabama and Florida on the road will be very tough. We haven’t beaten UGA in many years. That’s the 3 losses most likely.

This ain't Nick Saban's Alabama and Florida will have fired Billy Nips by then and will be trying to hold off their roster from getting an early jump on the TP.

We have a cabin on the river outside of Townsend - headed there today

We’re in Laurel Valley.

This is why you let kids prove it on the field first before you ruin them with big NIL numbers.


They had a total of 21 players in the top 150.
16 of them transferred. 23% hit.

Anyone else wanna throw around $20mil to kids BEFORE they prove it on the field?

 

[Glitch]

Ok y'all, Herbie and his dog are doing the game (the football game, Glitch) so make sure and record it so you can watch him walk off the set when we whip Blowhio's azz.

 

[Jack Burton]

Think Bama and Georgia might be easier wins next year than at Florida, oddly enough. Mainly because Swamp is hard to win at for us and they actually know what their returning QB can do.

Nico has continued to improve throughout the season but I think Lagway may end up the better college QB. At least we get them in late November rather than swamp ass September.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

That's a fairly broad brush you're painting with. Seems to be a pattern, everything is always political.

Could be first two years are now paid for, at Comm college. Kids save as much money as possible. Everything is expensive.

That isnt a blue or red thing, man.

Really...you don't think people of a certain mindset haven't raised their children to not be entitled little needy whiny s like people of another mindset have?

Mine are 28, 30 and 31. One of them has been married for 10 years, one for 9..and all of them moved out when they went to school and made a life for themselves.

I didn't raise them to be f'n soft needy bums....but you do you.

 

[Jack Burton]

This ain't Nick Saban's Alabama and Florida will have fired Billy Nips by then and will be trying to hold off their roster from getting an early jump on the TP.

Lagway has saved his job once already. Could probably do it again next year. They’re going to be a very good team.

Exactly, if we weren't winning then I could understand the desire to go more into the NIL space. Spending more is not the answer. ROI is the key. I think we are doing quite well there. Is there room to do better, sure. I just don't think throwing money at a problem is the best answer. Spending should be strategic, which I believe it currently is.

To be fair, moving out early doesn’t always equate to “making a life for themselves”

I’ve also met a ton of people that moved out early and were still entitled little *****

Just saying


Edit: It depends on how you were raised though.

This ain't Nick Saban's Alabama and Florida will have fired Billy Nips by then and will be trying to hold off their roster from getting an early jump on the TP.

We would beat Saban, anyway. His fame was built on the corrupt NCAA knowingly letting him cheat with impunity, including paying players big bags and Chargers, even houses, etc., from day one. He quit when the playing field leveled and other teams could pay, but not before Heup beat him. Stolen-valor Nick.

Still going to be a tough game — especially if the Birmingham refs outright steal the game like they did last time we played there.

Florida will be tough too. It’s a tough league.

[Ulysees E. McGill]

This will put Florida ahead of us now. How does a 7-5 Florida out recruit a 10-2 team going to the playoffs? I think we’ve only out recruited them one year yet we’ve gone 30-8 in the last 3 years…

You might as well get used to it. We are not going to do stupid things like Florida is obviously doing because they are DESPERATE.

Ryan Day thinks Herbstreit is a road with shops that only sell herbs and spices.
