If true, NIL is ruining CFB. Always gonna cause friction with players and teammates when one thinks he isn’t being paid enough

It was going to anyways. It was always a dumb idea for so many reasons.

So, going 10-2 and getting to the Sugar Bowl is not a big goal?

You don't beat Florida, LSU, and Alabama just to lose to a bad South Carolina team. If you told everyone before the season that we're going 10-2 and will play in the Sugar Bowl...everyone would be happy. If you then told them that we was in line for the playoffs and got blown out by a bad South Carolina team...pretty sure everyone would've felt sick hearing that. Progress has definitely been made, but there's no way to sugar coat things after what we just witnessed. It's easily as embarrassing as the Georgia State game...if not worse.

If Hadden put as much work into playing football as he does talking shizz, he'd be a damn good player.

I like our LB commits in this class. I've heard complimentary things about our freshmen LBs, they're just not ready YET. Beasley wasn't the one sucking ass out there tonight IMO. He's greatly improved since last season. And we were without Banks. So I disagree on your opinion of BJM at the moment. Could change in the future.

Yeah I never thought Beasley would be an SEC linebacker…. He has surprised me.

 

[UTProf]

Has the rumor on vq about Banks going after Hooker and not attending class and that’s the reason for his absence been discussed?

What? Tell me more here.

 

[VolGee4]

It does not ****ing matter if we’re ahead of schedule. If we won 10 games. If we go to the sugar bowl. If we broke all the offensive records. That does not change the fact we just got our doors blown off by a 22 point underdog with a playoff on the line. Out coached, inexcusable, worse loss in Tennessee history. Embarrassing and the season is over

While I’m not happy, this is ridiculous. Overreaction-city. This is why our fan base can get a bad reputation. Win 10 ganes and the season is lost? GTFO.

This. This may get lost in the night, but nothing about NIL deals. Staff has managed Banks well, but he went back to old self. Can’t get into it with starting QB and expect to be scotch free

 

[TheMookieMonster]

This LSU game just feels like an anomaly at this point, because this team is an awful road team. That’s 2 straight road games that we just didn’t show up for this year. We barely showed up against a bad Pitt team.

 

[UpstateVol613]

I can’t wait for the secondary to be recruited over.

 

[BoseefusTheVol]

I dont know how bama would pass us when we will have the same record with the head to head win.

Oh they will pass us. We are gonna tumble down the polls like you've never seen.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Keep all of our coaches…. Maintain stability…. Recruit more talent and keep growing…. We are 2 yrs ahead of where we should be.

Hell no. You fix what is broken and become better. You don’t let a leaky faucet turn into a flood. Replace the parts and make it better. Stability is weak talk and for Butch level days. Time to become elite and hire an elite DC and elite DB coach.

 

[berryvol]

Rumor on TOS is discontent regarding who is getting NIL and that said discontent became or got close to becoming physical.

JB was also extremely close to transferring this offseason for this same reason. This tracks, as far as early rumors go.

[MiddleVol76]

If he quit on his boys he should not be back next week and have his a$$ kicked all over Knoxville.

 

[JT3]

Rumors on social media that he was not getting paid as much as others and he got into a altercation with teammates over it.

I hope that's not true.

 

[OrangeBlood4life]

Damm, now I have to avoid all social media

 

[volbeast33]

This type of **** screams Butch 2.0

No it doesn’t lol

 

[Devo182]

Didn't even realize he wasn't out there tbh.

Our passing D seemed most obvious.

Yeah, it’s going to be bad on here for awhile. Season isn’t lost. This weekend was wild but I’m sure next weekend will be too.

 

[jakez4ut]

Only being good in November for 20 years is really catching up with this fanbase right now. We're so used to shaking off a September loss and being spicy by now.

A bad November shouldnt ruin a good Sep and a magical Oct, but damn if it isn't undermining some of the joy

It just sucks knowing what was in the table, and who we lost too. Feels like 98, turned in to feels like 16.

 

[engineerVOL]

Just saw a stat on Twitter:
Most points surrendered by an unranked team to an AP Top5 team ever….

The kids gonna cost himself a lot of NFL money..... he may not be a high pick but he was playing well enough to earn a late round or UDFA shot.

 

[Devo182]

No it doesn’t lol

People going haywire after 9-2

Good lord the newcomers are showing themselves quickly

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

This type of **** screams Butch 2.0

If that’s true then Banks can GTFO. Gotta learn that life is never equal. To throw a wrench in your team’s magical season because of being petty is so juvenile.

If it’s true.
