Yeah, not questioning the Vol fan part so much...but he's only one of the biggest country stars in the US.

I mean if you want to bring up a musical artist that's from the state who is popular right now then he's a good choice, never disputed that.


I'm just saying his music isn't good because of his album sells, that's all.

People spending money to buy a product is literally the only objective measure we have of whether his music is "good."

Heard a country playlist recently that sounded like Memphis/Atlanta produced rap with country vocals over it. Not to mention most of the country stars dress like white women from Orange County now.

The real country is separated into Billboard's "Americana/Folk" chart these days.

How many of you are more than a little scared of Florida being forced to play a backup walk on at QB.

I certainly am 😂

"The curse of Anthony Richardson's mom"

Let's all hope and pray she isn't from cajun/voodoo country 😅

The one commonality between both Peyton and Rohan Davey's mom - from Louisiana 👀

Do you mean objective?

He's the most popular country artist in the world and one of the best selling. Why can't that be all that's said?

I'll never understand why people feel the need to do this kind of thing in public. Instant shame and humiliation if it doesn't go your way. Just keep it private.

Man, that’s mean, I would have just said yes, then told him ‘no’ later lol

Not good to you… to most of the southeast and the rest of the country right now, he’s a monster and brings good recognition to UT

Much of the rest of the country doesn't listen to country...and even much of the SE doesn't (inside the cities and suburbs at least). And this isn't against country or bluegrass, both of which I respect immensely, but it's a numbers game at the end of the day.

Jack Harlow was a much bigger guest picker because of the demos. Rap/HH is just far bigger in the culture, nationwide, than country. I mean, he MIGHT be top-10 in rap/HH rn and he has 37mm monthly listeners. Morgan, some say...I don't follow, is #1 in country and has only 13mm monthly listeners. It's a demographic thing. It's very much a niche.

But I always come back to this, which is far more important as UT is concerned:

Imagine being a current player or recruit and seeing this guy as "the UT guest". Talk about negative recruiting.

He's just a hard pass because of being a total moron and a terrible look, if nothing else. Forget the rest for a moment. It would just be completely idiotic from a PR perspective.
