I just canā€™t believe there isnā€™t one booster out there like, ā€œIā€™m freaking tired of this, hereā€™s the money to hire Freeze.ā€ I can almost guarantee our fan base could raise the money to make this happen. Why do we repeat this cycle over and over?
 
ā€˜21 class going to have a much different look moving forward...stay the course.

enjoy the rest of the year I am headed out for little R and R for a long while. Wish you and all your families a healthy and happy holiday season.
Hahaha yeah ok. We have heard that before. No expectations for Vols again next year.
0-9 after this season against Bama, Florida, and Georgia. Terrible losses against Vandy in year 1, GA St and BYU in year 2, Terrible losses against Kentucky and Arkansas in year 3. Enough is Enough. Pruitt cannot coach and will not be miraculously better in year 4. Going to finish 2- 8 this year. Just watch Vandy will beat Vols again in 2 weeks.
 
Hey @nicksjuzunk ,

I just finished my leg workout.
200 squats with a 65 lb. backpack on.
800 body weight squats.
I did 10 sets of 100 reps.
This is my first day for this workout. I will increase the reps with the backpack as I improve.

My HR max was 146. Would rest for a song between sets to let my HR slow down. Didnā€™t get below 100 bpm for the routine.

I am 58 now. I plan to do this every other day for 2 months. Upper body on the other days.

What do you think? Your opinion would be appreciated.

Put your cup on and stay with us . Most of us like real information and thanks for what you do .
 
Had more time to think about it. I don't think we get Freeze so looking for positive and hard to find but here we go.

1. We do look bigger than we used to.
2. Most of our players who look good are Pruitt recruits or guys who have been developed by his staff. Also, helped get guys like Tuttle and Phillips and Warrior to where NFL is an option or still possible.
3. QB is big and I think we see Bailey is only one we really could expect to have a chance of being good. We are also in on several highly rated guys which has not been the case till we got Bailey last year.

In hindsight, I remember Manning playing as a freshman. He is the best QB to play here but was very ordinary his first year. That is just the way it normally is for first year guys despite talent. If HB plays and looks ordinary just remember how ordinary Mac Jones looked when he came in for Tua last year and what he looks like now. So, maybe Bailey isn't really ready just like Manning really wasn't but did have the benefit of a really good team around him which we are not that good yet. If early in the year, JG was best chance to win and you are 2-0 then maybe you would do the same if you knew what coaches knew. However, we have nothing to lose at this point so play the kid and play for the future. Time will tell but maybe the positive is Bailey could be a great QB and maybe they can still get him there and they are bringing in another top 100 at the position in 21 and have another on the one in 22. So, these guys at least know this is an issue and are addressing it.

4. If these guys are great teachers then COVID would affect a team with first and second year talent who missed spring and mostly fall more than these other teams we are playing against that have more seasoned players.

5. We also had what we know as the worse SEC roster when Pruitt got here and the worse roster maybe in our history and these guys have some good talent sticking with us despite this. The only people who I have heard say our class with have decommits is guys on here and not the kids themselves. A lot of them have done the opposite.

6. Big concern about losing the locker room. Probably some truth to that but the key is has he lost his kids in the locker room? If these last two classes are still bought in like conley has said then he could still get it done.

7. Boyd and Plowman are the same people they were when the season started and Boyd especially seems to care about football and we have not had that in a long time.

I am sure there are more but I am going to try to think more on this than the negatives and you guys know how I feel about Jeremy. But I said this the day he was hired, I am going to wait and see what he does on the football field because at the end that is what matters. We have not got them this year but we have seen some things that are good we seem at times to forget. COVID has sucked the life out of all of us so much even if not directly infected by it. I also said he had to get it done here or it might not be attainable for more years than we want to count. He just has to get it done and if we support that then maybe he can keep stacking talent and turn this thing around. If he doesn't then I may never get to see this team in a playoff with my son.

Get it done Pruitt. Just get it done.
Excellent post.

A bunch of semi rich old guys trying to be the big swinging dick in the room.
