I've had a lot of favorites over the years. My first included Bubba Wyche, Bobby Scott, Lester McClain, Richmond Flowers, Curt Watson, Haskel Stanback, Steve Kiner, Jack Reynolds, and so on and so on...man a lot of memories coming back over all the years I've been listening and watching my beloved Vols.
 
I love a good deal, but check those best by dates. Time is not kind to the tea leaf. Unless it's a pu-erh. Then, I guess it's OK.

A month or so ago, my boss gave me a couple of tins of tea she bought at TJ Maxx at some point. They have best by dates of 10/2015. I have no idea when she actually bought them, but I haven't seen any point in getting in a hurry to try them.
Mine are still plenty fresh

If Pruitt does what we hope and wins at a high level, Chaney retires in 3-5 years and Osovet becomes OC.

Ansley becomes a head coach and Neidemeyer becomes defensive coordinator.

Who's with me?

The 2020s will be the decade of the Vols! 4 SEC Title appearances, 2 SEC Championships, 1 National Title this decade.
 
Real talk, I expect the TE play to improve. I love Nieds, but I think Osovet might well be one of the best offensive minds on the staff.
Not saying he is or isn't, but he can be a great X&O guy but suck at teaching fundamentals. Just because he is a "great offensive mind" doesn't necessarily mean the TEs will improve...jus sayin 🤷‍♂️

Don’t jinx him like that. Same thing has been said about a lot guys on the football coaching staff the last 20 years..
The football coaching STAFF? We’re talking 5 different staffs, and the most stable/successful had practical lifetime appointments at coordinator.

You are severely overvaluing a bachelors degree. It’s becoming less and less valuable the more people that get them. A lot of trade school programs are making more money and becoming more valuable now. So this whole thing Of acting like the Provided opportunity they are given to pursue a degree is this million dollar opportunity is just silly to me.

Idk what your career field is but would you be ok if your boss gave you a new contract for the next five years where you’re not being paid actual money but instead having all of your “expenses” covered (housing, meals, insurance) but you still have to find a way to pay for car, phone, gas, social life expenses...etc but after 5 years you MIGHT (but unlikely) get a substantial promotion and pay raise to real money.

Also this stipends you speak of, do not go to every athlete, and when they do they are about 2500$ a year.

🤦‍♂️ Saying a college education is worthless is about the stupidest Hank take ever. If they don't wanna play for an education and the elite training they get...then let em go to the XFL and suck eggs.

Choose the eggs wisely tho! If you get salmonella, you don’t have medical insurance.
 
I’m with you there, man. Played with blown out biceps vs Florida, and wore the best number in the history of Vol football. Someone mentioned Inky, he’s gotta be up there too. Players that gave their all.

To add to that...
I haven’t gotten to attend a whole lot of games in my lifetime, but I have always become an instant fan of anyone that has really shown out when I was in attendance. Some may count as superstars, and some remain to be seen. Travis Stephens, Witten, Jason Croom, Jennings, Eric Gray
