LOL Tony is such a funny guy!

Looks like we get the chance to beat up on successful USC transfer Kedon Slovis when we play Pitt on 9/10.

If you have something recorded and don’t want to watch the whole thing, you can hit key plays and it will give you the highlights. I’ve not tried it with football but it missed quite a bit in basketball.

Yeah, it was worthless for basketball, but great for baseball. I never tried it for football because I only record UT games and by god I'm going to watch every second of those

So glad Tony Elliot wasn't the guy

The natives there use to worship it as a god and don’t like it being called devil tower.

They still worship it, and the native name is "Bear's Lodge"

That looks like my backyard.

Bunch of Bama fans in your backyard? Have you tried telling them that you're a dentist? That'll get them out of there real quick.

Paxton Brooks he's the Sh!t kicker of the team!

This week, I've learned punters are not to be trifled with. Brooks allegedly kicked Dixon's behind, then I saw this story.

Apparently, punters are vicious.

Weird way for him to come out

Hey y’all - read the thread daily but hardly ever post. Looking for some help regarding next Thursday night parking. I saw the KAT isn’t running their shuttles to and from downtown and other parking areas for the game since it’s on a Thursday. I have my Dad coming with me and at his age he can’t really handle the walk from our typical parking spots somewhere downtown. Is parking out west, say near the mall and using Uber a viable option? Does anyone know if rocky top tours will run their bus from Maryville?

I have done this. They got us down to Loudon/Volunteer, basically 2 blocks from Circle Park. I think you'll be ok doing this for the Thursday night game, but I wouldn't advise it for the bigger games.

Does anyone know how mobile Slovis is compared to Pickett?

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Good for TMac. Eason was the prize of the Whitehaven 3 but I bet he’ll have a really good year. Small has also done so well when he was an afterthought compared to big O. Same story with Creer/Moore

Well his name ain’t Fastvis

great pocket presence
great arm
average speed, not a scrambler

he moves around to escape pressure in the pocket, or buy time for receivers outside of pocket. he is not looking to take off, at all.

love to hear that!

Kenny Pickett didn't rush for a ton of yards against us, but his ability to extend plays and pick up so yards with his feet killed us. It was a weakness all year.

Pitt with more of a pocket passer/new OC/ and less talent at WR doesn't scare me with a hopefully improved Tennessee defense

Joyride is also a nice option that will pick you up around campus and downtown. They can drop you off as close to the stadium as Circle Park.

So Banks likes our DL, thinks the edge has improved a ton. We really need to generate pressure and ruin QBs on 3rd down, so I hope that's true.

Thinks third down defense will be better, thank god.

Likes our depth, thinks we're way ahead of where we were last year from a roster standpoint.

Very pleased with the LBs, seems like. I'll take that.

Safeties and Star seem like they're looking good, based on what he said.

I am still worried about our CBs, I think that everyone is. Banks didn't talk bad about them, but it's the only position group that he didn't have something really great to say. Cornerback reads like it's going to be an adventure this year. We'll have to see if our front-7 can generate enough pressure to help the corners.

If we're chasing QB's around and giving them a lot of time, which was a common problem last year, it's gonna be rough on defense.
