People act like we’re just terrible and done. TN should have won 9 games in the regular season in 2019. Had we don’t that, recruiting would have went through the roof. There are several guys who were coming here and then we lost to BYU and GSU. That was 2 years ago. We are still better than everyone on our schedule except the big 3. And we have gained since then because we lost JG and Pruitt’s high school offense. Why are we so down? If we could do that in 2019 with Pruitt and JG, we can do it in 2021 with Heup and his offense. If we can win 9 games, then we’re on our way. Recruiting will pick up. And all of those offensive guys would be coming back next year except Velus. Excitement would be through the roof.

Went and got my 1st gel injection in my knee earlier today. Had a couple of cortizone injections in it last year. They would help for a while but my new orthopaedist believes the gel injections will be more effective. They are spread out over a three week period. Curious if anyone else has had these.

Is it hyaluronic acid injections?

I think we win 7 and we’re on our way. The way I look at it, we have 4 auto wins, 3 auto losses, and 5 swing games. If we can just get competent QB play, we have the talent on offense to make big jumps especially in Heupel’s system. Not saying we win all the swing games, but none of those teams are more talented than us.

I get it though. Most people are so beaten down by the past decade plus and the BVS is so ingrained that it’s hard to believe anything good will happen ever again with the football program. I can’t blame them.

Now you are getting a bit too technical with that question for this ol country boy. He described it to me as basically a "lube" for the joint to battle the arthritus and subsequent inflammation. It is basically a clear silicone-looking gel. Best way I can describe it.

The landscape may change, but the destination remains. When taken in the perspective of time our Vols have won it all before and they will be able to win it all again. Name the one HC today in the SEC that with certainty you can say will dominate the SEC once Saban retires. Yeah there's that. NIL has changed the game. UT seems well poised to handle that long term. Short term the bandwagons will jump on the elite trains. But when the leadership retires or fails, the fan and player bandwagons will be looking for new homes.

Yeah that’s hyaluronic acid. You should ask him about doing Prostride in the joint.

You guys are acting as if this will be a quick thing, it will take at least a year to finalize things and they won’t actually join the conference until 2025, that is when the current rotation of cross division games expires and they’ll make new ones, so it’ll only make since for it to be then when the SEC officially adds them.

Yeah but Swain was saying the same bull when hooker transfered here during spring practice.

Guess that just means he didn't trust what was already here - Bailey and Maurer.

Apparently Pruitt/Chaney (dgaf what they think though) and Hype have possibly thought that too. Now...maybe he brought in Milton for depth, but I don't personally buy that for a second. It feels like both coaches saw a need at that position. Is what it is. Up to the other 2 to prove em wrong and maybe they will.
