In reality, Neyland is already below 100,000 actual seats. They are just cooking the numbers a little bit to get to 102,455.

Just announce 100,455 now for sellouts

Uhmm...the context of the remark was that people were rooting for her to fail and celebrated her failure..I don't know how what you said here has a dang thing to do with that.

You replied to my comment which was directed toward the original discussion about her being Time Athlete of the year…. You are confusing my comment with something Devo stated later on.

This is stunning to me

If top 10 classes alone guaranteed success, we wouldn’t be on our 5th coach in 12 years.

An article from mid-SEP pegged the costs for the total project at $340 million. Unless that has since changed, it sounds like the $180 million is just for Phase 1.

I’m thinking it’s just from the first phase and that’s for the south end zone work as well. Just a rough guess, but this work is probably around $80-100M and the rest is over $200M.

What a disgrace. Neyland should never be below 100,000. I don’t give a damn if 60,000 are empty on game days.

This! Wtf are they doing? The 100,000+ has always been a staple and recruiting tool. I hate it

I’m in four fantasy leagues. In three of them, my opponents started Dalvin Cook. RIP week 14.

I’m kicking myself. I left him on the bench. Was worried he would get reinjured or be used lightly. Didn’t foresee that kind of performance. I can’t keep a RB healthy all year. Lost 3 from my initial draft before season started. Have had Cook and Swift banged up all year and missing games. Picked up Mitchell from SF last week and now he’s out this week. Lol! Not my year at all. Ready for it to be over and throw in the towel.

Fulmer discusses Neyland renovations, six-figure capacity

> But Fulmer, who paused the stadium renovation after taking over as athletic director nearly two years ago, acknowledged that stadium capacity is “not as big a deal as it used to be.” He added that Neyland Stadium doesn’t necessarily seat 100,000 fans today and said “everybody’s having the same issue” when it comes to filling seats.
“Truthfully, we’re not above 100,000 right now. We’re about 98,5(00) or 98,6(00) or something like that,” Fulmer said Tuesday during his appearance on “Sports Talk” on 99.1 The Sports Animal.

That info has been out there for while. Honestly, I'd like to be above 100,000 too but it is what it is.

It’s always been a known thing. 102,455 includes literally all staff and everything that work inside of Neyland. Like he said actually seating was already below 100,000

It also includes the bodies in the catacombs beneath the stadium. If the body turns into a ghost it still only counts as one.

Lol , in all seriousness though didn’t they relocate all the bodies back when they redid the field forever ago?

 

[volbeast33]

This is stunning to me

I wonder if it is fools gold like a lot of Butch Jones classes were….. Missouri nailed getting Burden but their second highest rated commit is Horn who Tennessee appeared to value Jackson a lot more than…. Per an example of a coach doing that…. Look at Butch Jones first real class…. He nailed a few of the instate guys but this was some of his highest rated kids: Todd Kelly, Dillon Bates, Dwayne Hendrix, Darrell Scott, Cortez McDowell, con Pearson, Daniel Helm, Dontavious Blair, Deandre Payne, Gavin Bryant, Chris Weatherd, Charles Mosley.

Some performed decent like Pearson and Payne but there were a whole lot of misses in this class and that’s without even looking at the 3* and below players. I wonder how many of the kids from Missouri’s class would we trade our commits for?

 

[Jack Burton]

Of course not. We mustn’t disturb and anger the ghosts.

Lol k. Pretty sure they did. But, I like this take as well.

Was it when we started losing bc that would explain a lot.

As a Steelers fan this is a multifaceted issue. OL is probably the worst in the NFL, Wrs aren’t special and don’t get separation, then old ass Ben holds the damn ball way too long trying to wait on Wrs to make a break to get open.

Tennessee to Georgia complaining about having to play Bama every year....
View attachment 418930

Awesome analogy. Tennessee is the John McClain of the SEC. Outmanned, seems like a hopeless situation, but we just keep doing what we do and in the end, we will drop the bad guy off a building (bama) and our defense will shoot down the remaining bad guy to save the day (gators or dawgs, you make the call).

Die Hard is a great representation of our year.

Yippee kai ay mother effer! Vols are coming for all the SEC criminals. Don’t care how many sequels it takes.

 

[TheTimeIsNow]

Mizzou pulling in a top class. We dog walked them and are going to struggle to hit top 20 and we can’t get any legitimate interest from most top players. I don’t get it

You're not kidding. It makes no sense.

I have when Preston Williams was playing because that's my guy. They're bad too LOL

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

It's like they don't even think...I mean UGA was NC or bust this year with all the talent they had come back, and unless Kirby pulls a rabbit out of his ass in the playoffs...that ain't happening.

Nobody wants to see a dawg ass rabbit

He is not even dead. Do you even conspiracy theory?

If my daughter had been taken to that island, there would not even be DNA evidence that he ever existed…I am thinking that a Dad disposed of the trash.
