Yeah, we're not swimming in the same pond with the big guys. Don't see that changing. I don't think Spyre is everything we've been told it is. I don't see anything changing either. I think our ceiling is going to always be a fringe playoff team. Wealthy programs will always rise to the top. Alabama is in a similar place as we are. I think you'll see, OSU, OR, TEXAS, ND at the top. They've got limitless money.

Your argument sprung a leak with Oregon. They have spent the same amount on NIL that Tennessee has this past season…

I think some of the limitations on play calling is on poor OL play. But there were times last night that Nico had plenty of time. Either recievers were covered or Nico wasn't seeing them. It seems our routes are so very basic. 2 years ago and even last year, we had some really creative stuff to get recivers open. Not so much anymore. Something has changed and I don't think it's all because a lack of talent.

4th year-5th year vision versus 1st year vision.
Hard to confuse Hooker.
Nico isn’t there yet.
It seemed like he was determined to show that the cold didn’t affect him and that he wasn’t going to shy away from contact.
His frame can add a lot of muscle in the offseason, but he will never hit 230. He has such a slender build. Worried about his durability.

He is very talented. I’m not sure what happened from the Iowa bowl game to this season, but it was a definite difference in touch and connection with his WRs, TEs and RBs.

One thing that an announcer said during the Arkansas game was that the Arkansas QB and Nico had spent several Summers at the same QB training academy.

Manning and his receivers were together every Summer and worked on timing routes until they were totally in sync. That might be what they need. JMO

Merry Christmas to everyone. Hold your loved ones close and enjoy every second of it.

Just lost an uncle this morning that meant everything to me. In a way, he raised me growing up. A part of me is now gone.

Much love to everyone here and hope you have the most blessed day with your family. Love you guys.

Condolences to you, Trippie, and peace for you and your whole fam. That can be hard, I know. My fave uncle passed away a few years ago. He is the one who took my bro and I to our first Vols game. I miss him. But more often than not I think of happy times like that game. I hope with time all the happy memories come back to overwrite the pain of the moment.
