How many real difference makers enter the portal? How many schools will be trying to snag them? I'm just not as convinced as some that the portal will be a magic cure-all. I certainly hope it is, I just don't have faith that it will be.
I agree. I'm generally not a huge fan of the portal or of JUCO's. Particularly now that we have a coaching staff that actually successfully develops our players, I'd rather bring in high school recruits for 4/5 years.

Had a couple fighter jets flying over South Knoxville yesterday evening and this morning. I bet that's what is doing the flyover tomorrow. We had helicopters earlier in the year.

It is going to be loud. I guess all fighter jets are, but these guys were shaking the windows, should be pretty awesome.

They are bringing the thunder to Neyland. F-35's. They were practicing yesterday.
 
The tweet you replied to said they had a better resume than TN, that's the horrible part of that take.

TN opened the season with wins over Pitt and Florida before Kansas faced a team above 500 (and that was a Duke team with a soft open to their season).
The overall take was they were under ranked. The example was the bad part, but just didn't seem like the taken was so horrible it needed to be dredged up weeks later. Our resume at that time wasn't that much better.

I think they fly subsonic when they flyover the stadium. The window shaking is when they break the sound barrier. If they did that flying over the stadium, they’d fly past so fast that it’d be tough to see them lol. I remember the first time I heard a sonic boom from a US Fighter jet when I was a little kid. I thought it was an earthquake.
 
It was all fuzzy and said I had to agree to something in order to read it
Le sigh.

It was a rick roll because someone didn't get a joke and asked for a link to an obviously absurd post.

Carry on with your day. You didn't miss anything except the joke and a perfectly good opportunity to troll UK's secondary now that UT's receiver core got EVEN better.

(For the record, I've never had a copperhead kill me either.)

They did a screaming banking in our valley yesterday that echoed for a long time in their practice. Went by so fast you could barely catch it.

Did a 5-0 Kansas team deserve to be ranked, yes and they were ranked 19th.

Did a 3-0 Kansas team with wins over a FCS school, a winless WVU team, and a 500 Houston team deserve to be ranked, no. And you're flat out wrong if you think our resume of Ball State, Pitt, Akron and Florida wasn't better than TN Tech, WVU, Houston and Duke.

The US military never ceases to amaze me technologically. A lot of problems with recruitment nowadays, but the brute force of how far advanced we are compared to everyone besides maybe China (they beat us to hypersonic missiles) is enough to win most conflicts that don’t go nuclear.

When I found out we launch jets off our carriers with electromagnetic propulsion I realized we are truly in the future lol

I said it ours was better, but you digging it up from weeks ago makes it seem like you think it was one of the worst takes of the season.

1) that's so loud

2) that's so patriotic

3) Iowans love yelling holy cow

4) Neyland would lose their minds if the flyover was that low

I didn't dig it up...I replied to you after you commented on the poster who did dig it up.

How many marijuanas have you had today sir? Kansas may not win another game this season, they aren't good. Just played worse teams to open the season. Not then nor now should they have ever been ranked 7th in the country like the original idiot on Twitter was saying.
 

Yeah, subsonic. If they were flying full throttle, they’d scream past you and, at that altitude, probably leave you deaf. But either way, hard not to get a little emotional in a patriotic way seeing those. Every game I’ve managed to drag my dad to, he always hopes we get a flyover.
