Time bashing the NCAA is always time well spent.

Yea with all the other issues that should be at the top.

I think Arch or Nico could be the #1 ovr qb next year talent wise. Id like to see the titans trade the #1 pick with the giants and get their 1st rounder next year, since imo it will be the #1 ovr

"Talent Wise" Todd Marinovich has entered the chat.

They dig back 10 years, but the last 2 have not been great for D1 and their preseason. Homer take. I think they've tried to shade the vols in both years and it has not gone well for the teams they propped up.

The West Virginia Governor should have other issues to worry about more than a damn NCAA tournament committee not selecting West Virginia. Priorities people ,priorities.

Kind of like not renaming the Gulf of Mexico.

I'm bot sure why they think this stuff looks good. Looks like a pita to drive.

Finally.
A coach with rock solid talent evaluation criterion. I think we've found Rick Barnes heir apparent.

I'm still of the belief that the Titans are going to draft Carter #1 and the Ward talk is all smoke and mirrors

The Titans have several needs, so i'd trade the pick for more draft capital and sign a veteran QB. Next year would be a better time to draft a QB, as this year's class doesn't seem worthy of a first round selection.

its going to be Hunter. GM will talk about getting "two elite players in one pick"

Aaron Rodgers wasn’t really considered that…more an upside to be determined quantity. A weird draft (kind of like this one) where if he wasn’t the number one overall to a QB desperate franchise, he was going to drop in the first round to borderline second. So Niners bit on Alex Smith instead and he dropped to a team with an entrenched HOF QB.

ya know.........kinda forgot about that with Rodgers.

I hear so much BS about him being "the greatest pure talent"....blablabla....

His arc was really fast to track. Non-recruited HS to Juco to Pac 10 to what we remember. Nerds find a way to outsmart themselves.

Just realized the Red-shanked douc has a Power T for a nose. It’s a sign. We’re winning the NCAA Tournament. Good day all!

March 18, 37 AD

Caligula becomes Emperor of Rome

On this day in the year 37, the Roman Senate annulled the will of the Emperor Tiberius, proclaiming 24-year-old Caligula, Emperor. After years of purges and treason trials, Caligula’s ascension to the throne was a welcome breath of fresh air. The son of the war hero Germanicus was in charge. What could go wrong. All of Rome erupted in paroxysms of joy, proclaiming Caligula to be the first emperor Ever, admired by “all the world, from the rising to the setting sun”.

160,000 animals were sacrificed in three months of public jubilation. The Jewish philosopher Philo of Alexandria described the first seven months as “completely blissful”.

The "Bliss" would not last........

Caligula would grin - TOOL

I'm not sure I'd agree with that statement...but he's for sure better than Will Levis. I think had Ward played in the SEC he might not have had the same sort of success because the competition would have been a lot more difficult.

Could be but when I watched him play he seemed considerably better than any SEC quarterback I saw play this year. He just seemed to me that he was good under pressure and making throws off platform which could be really helpful playing for the Titans. Doesn’t matter who they have at quarterback if they don’t get some better players around him. I just think he has a decent chance to be a pretty good NFL quarterback. I really don’t have a very strong opinion on him. I did have a strong opinion that Will Levis was never the answer.

If you like stats like those, this is an interesting post. Not sure why it doesnt show up on VN.

States Duke & Florida meet all criteria. UT meets all criteria except being top3 in ken's palm. If we beat Duke, we take their place and face UF in the natty game.

"Here’s what ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler shared on the latest episode of The Dan Patrick Show about what he’s hearing on #CamWard & the #Titans

“From what I've gathered, Tennessee seems pretty comfortable with Cam Ward. Like there's some momentum there with other teams I've talked to league-wide that they feel like they're just going to sit there and take Ward. I know the interviews with Ward have gone well. They feel comfortable with the mistakes he’s made on the field. They feel like he's done a good job of explaining those mistakes & he can be coached and correct them, & he's got the obvious upside on top of that."

This is the EXACT SAME THING they said about drafting Will Levis!

The only difference is that Will Levis wasn't accomplished in college.

What I love is that by Rule 5, the Vols are the only team in the Midwest left.
