It shouldn't take 3 portal OL to make anyone feel good about our OL. Not if Elarbee is doing his job and developing these kids he recruited from HS.

Agreed, Elarbee's lines have been getting incrementally worse every season, and require portal help at an alarming rate.

He either needs extra support in recruiting talent or he just can't develop the talent need or worse.....both. Either way you need to give him extra resources or bring in someone who can get this job done.

If Heup doesn't want to fire his friend, move him to analyst and hire a real OL coach.

As I get a little older I look back at times when I was having a problem I couldn't see a way to fix. There were times I thought I tried everything, but just reached a dead end and figured it was simply out of my hands. Then, out of nowhere, an answer lands in my lap and I would say, "I can't believe it was that easy." I've experienced my fair share of true miracles, enough to know there is someone or something besides us in control of things. I'm in the middle of one of the biggest challenges I've ever faced, but I know there will be an answer if I just keep going forward.

Today and everyday I am thankful for all I have and have been given. I appreciate each of you, even the ones on ignore, 😂. Thank God for all I've seen, and all I have.

Love you all, Merry Christmas, Go Vols!

Merry Christmas!

I can feel you here........ Last year I thought I was going to die, literally. My chest felt heavy like I was having a heart attack. I was working two jobs.......I was overwhelmed. My wife was dealing with all of our rescue animals daily, I was just dealing with emergencies.

It was too much. We still struggle. Daily. But we've been through the worst of inflation. At least I hope it's the worst. And we're still standing. Not boastfully but defiantly. If I go down it will be swinging, I'm a fighter if nothing else, so is my wife.

I pray for wisdom in navigating these struggles, courage to confront them and heart to stand by your choices. Good luck my friend!

Happy Thursday,

December 26, 2024: Contemplate your errors in judgment, but refuse to dump down in condemnation. Mistakes are part of life that you can learn from and make adjustments, but condemning yourself does no good at all. Move on knowing that you will do better next time. John 8:9-11 Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her: Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you? She said, no one, Lord, and Jesus said to her, neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.

I'll see you fellers down the road. 🙋‍♂️

I am not going to be able to handle the cancerous toxicity, venomous vitriol, and pure corrosive stupidity that I know is going to fill this place for a long time.


Before I go...I'm going to say this to all those good ol Vols in understandable hurt and despair, and also to the loud mouthed, totally imbecilic Idiot Margin that want to tear apart Josh Heupel and his staff, and everything that Josh Heupel and his staff have near miraculously accomplished in far faster time than anybody with a functioning brain thought possible..

On Jan 2 1998 we had just gotten completely embarrassed 42-17 by a loaded Nebraska team that had been rolling through CFB like a combine through a field of corn for years and years.

All of us have forgotten how we felt at the moment..but deep in the night I remembered...it came back to me.

We were losing our all-everything QB, we all thought our defense had been exposed as a total soft fraud, and we were losing a few important pieces off of that defense including our all-everything 1st round draft pick defensive end.

Nobody talks about this much since then...but the future did not look bright, we all thought we had blown our shot...that we were frauds..and so did the country...but..

Twelve months and two days later...on January the 4th 1998 we stood on the top of CFB as undefeated National Champions.

We know we have a long way to go...but tearing everything apart and going nuclear toxic is completely stupid.

See y'all later...UEM out 🙋‍♂️

Whats a non key players in 24 that you expect to take a jump in ‘25?

Mike Matthews is an obvious answer but give me Braylon Staley. I really liked his potential when we signed him. IMO he’s perfect for the slot in offense. Plus he has the best wide receiver name since Cedric Tillman - if that makes sense. 😂
