I’m not sure he’s a fan of UT at all. That’s not my point.

I think he’s honest with his assessment - now don’t misunderstand, I don’t think that means he’s always right.

I don’t think he has a hatred for UT. I think when UT does something worth praising regarding the NPA kids, he’ll have no problem saying so. Right now it’s just bad.

I'm sure it is bad. His bro got **** canned and he didn't like it. Sees nothing wrong with his methods/tactics. He thinks in order to win you have to cheat. Well that's probably true but his man crush was terrible in every way. He was an ass, he wasn't qualified to coach high-school let alone a college team. He's a total fraud. He isn't this defensive guru that he was made out to be. I used to like to see his post. Now I seldom read them. He needs to go post on other boards that might appreciate his sewage.

Guys I’m so glad that ANY other QB than JG is starting! That alone is exciting. I feel confident Milton and HB are both way better.

His disdain for anyone who doesn't just accept his line of crap is the worst. It is apparent that Pruitt getting fired took money out of his pocket and he is going to whine about it until the cows come home.

The Athletic. . . (edit) stupid paywall.

Joe Milton, Tennessee's big gain and Michigan's big mistake? We're about to find out

It amazes me how confident GA fans are for their game on Saturday. If you read their board, they're talking about Clemson like they're South Carolina. They think they're going to win easily. I'll never understand the arrogance of that fanbase.

Kirby's recent losses: 44-28, 41-24, 37-10, a 4-8 SC team, mediocre Texas, And then throw in another blowout that year to LSU 36-16.

Where does their confidence come from? They're recruiting champions, not much else.

 

[SoilVol]

Btw, I honestly think we will win games with either Milton, Hooker, or Bailey at QB. I truly believe they're all quality QBs.

I hope Clemson beats the brakes off them.

If I remember correctly, he also liked Butch, right? Or am I misremembering?

We can argue about lights and what not, but at least we don't have THIS problem.....

“We were at South Carolina and Joe was standing at the 20-yard line. I ran down to the other goal line and called for the ball,” said Waseem, now executive director of the scouting service Top Recruits Now. “He got it to me, standing still, like it was nothing. He got an offer that day. Even back then, there were things Joe could do physically that a lot of NFL quarterbacks can’t do.”

Oh ****.

What is your revised season prediction if we blow out Pitt next week and Joe looks like a superstar doing it?

Undefeated 'til we're not requires no revision.

 

[TheMagnificantOne]

What is your revised season prediction if we blow out Pitt next week and Joe looks like a superstar doing it?

There's only one prediction: 15-0

 

[Ten_Titans]

Now I might watch their game lol

So South Carolina and Vandy are now our two auto wins in SEC play.

16-0

You can't revise 15-0 any higher. That is what I am going with til it ain't.

I really think, if everything goes our way, we're capable of 10-2.

I'm expecting 7-9 and I think we get 9, if we stay healthy. I won't be disappointed with 7.

I'll be disappointed with anything less than 7. That would include a loss to KY most likely and that would be extremely disappointing.

Cool as a cucumber” is how Harbaugh characterized Milton’s performance, and “once in a decade talent” is how Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck characterized Milton. He was 15 for 22 for 225 yards and a touchdown and ran eight times for 58 yards and a score. Michigan rolled, 49-24. Harbaugh finally had a homegrown quarterback, a player he recruited out of high school who would star and win big for the Wolverines.

‘Holy crap, what have we done?’
How bad was the thumb?

“I know what it feels like to have half of your body,” Milton said on Aug. 2, sporting his Tennessee No. 7 jersey on the team’s media day, “and half of your hands. It’s a new me.”

Hayes said ligaments were torn in Milton’s right (throwing) thumb on the second offensive play of the second game of the season, a 27-24 loss to Michigan State. It looks more like the third play on the game film — Milton takes off on a third-down scramble and has his right hand ripped off the football by tackling defensive lineman Jacub Panasiuk as he hits the turf hard.

Regardless, there was no mention of a thumb injury all season. A Detroit News story in January, with a picture of Milton wearing a cast, reported a thumb surgery — long after his performance started to decline (he still threw for 300 yards against MSU and for 344 a week later in a loss at Indiana), and he was replaced by backup Cade McNamara after dismal outings against Wisconsin and Rutgers. And that did not make Milton’s camp happy.
