LOl. I'm just not worried about Pemba. He's a great player and I'd love to have him. But I am content with Josephs, Pearce, Bradley, and Herring. And then if we grab Walker also who apparently has had a monster season, we good.

Now, RB and receiver, that's another story. We need RB's and receivers. Leacock and Seldon aren't enough. We need more.

I see......15 - 0 every year and national champs for the next 15 consecutive years. Also winning national championships in Basketball, Women's Basketball, crocheting etc. etc. Joe will unquestionably be better than we have seen him in the past, he will show flashes of brilliance, he will not lead to a 15-0 season .... move away from the Kool-Aid. He will probably also not be as heady a quarterback or make as good of on field decisions as Hooker. What else are you reading in your tealeaves? What is the mighty Eightball forecasting? Buying and selling memorabilia may have softened your keen sense of observation.

I understand that there are some homers, and groups of fans, many times senior citizens who only view through Orange tinted glasses. I accept that, I appreciate it - we all appreciate that, but I also clearly recognize the Big Orange bias associated with it. I think we probably will not beat Alabama at Alabama next year; we may not beat Florida at Florida or Georgia in Knoxville. It will still be a great season. I also like your memes - but of course the.... I Have Spoken .... who are you again ??? did I miss something?

Okay ..... not the least bit phased by your threats to the realists. Joe may very well play like Cam Newton next season - but I don't expect him to suddenly analyze and process like Peyton or HH.

I HAVE SPOKEN --- (said In a spooky voice ) :)

Nobody knows what will come in the future. We can hope and dream but that is all it is. We could be better or worse who knows but the fun part is the ride. We have been on a bumpy road for a good while and this year in all sports we have a REAL fighting chance. Lets let all the seasons in all the sports play out, then we can all make our predictions and play Sports Talk Show Host......their predictions are as useless as yours, mine and ours.

That's potentially a space issue and likely portal fill. That room is still chock full even if Hyatt goes early.

True. I'd say Calloway is gone out of that room. Wouldn't surprise me if Holiday is too, though I hope not. Merril? He'll be a redshirt sophomore next year and we have Bru and Keyton coming back. If we grab an elite receiver from the portal, that's three years he's been here and isn't going to play. We could lose several of those guys in this crazy portal world we now live in.

I don’t think they will settle, in their mind. But my theory is they won’t get Dabo. Bama will hire someone else perceived as really good but it won’t work long term bc they can’t reproduce Saban’s results, which are now expected.

Rinse and repeat of Bear Bryant.

Realist…
Tennessee is 9-1.
Tennessee should make the playoffs.
Tennessee has several players up for national awards including the Heisman.
Tennessee has an awesome coach with an amazing offensive scheme and exciting defensive scheme that goes for turnovers then tightens up in the red zone.

Anything else is just opinions.

Could be but honestly I'm not sure what keeps Merrill off the field now. He has talent. He makes plays. He just seems to be open... by a lot... a lot. Plus Milton seems to LOVE throwing to him.

That his post vexed you (overly) screams loudest. 😎

Ouch - deeply vexed. That may be the most vexed I've been in years. Headed to the clinic to address this severe case of vexing. :) Sorry if my thoughts drifted away from the Party line. Do not report me to Vladimir. He frowns on that - then I really would be
vexed. :)

I can support that. It has been crazy fun. I love our team, coaches, and staff. Suddenly, we are relevant again. I think collectively we all Bleed Orange. ....... Also, don't think Milton will process as well as Hooker.

My gf is giving me the look - better quit playing, it's been fun. Thanks for so graciously allowing me to offer up my opinion all.

GBO

Vexed out.
