The OT is a JUCO…so at least two.

OK. So I guess I am confused, again. Thanks for the help.

Someone tell me about this TE we got, better than Morelock and Fairweather?

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Why do you want to go there?? Jimbo has already proved he is a mediocre coach.

Serving a table at my restaurant

Just found out there's a bammer there because he said

"They're not even our rivals, Auburn is our rival!"

Another dude is like "well I don't get why they'd tear down the goalposts for a team that doesn't even consider Tennessee its rival?"

Trying not to educate these people and lose my tip

It's weird that their whole program smokes a cigar if they win against a team that isn't a rival.

Late third or fourth round draft grade at UC Davis, limited film looks good, and he's excited to be at UT.

You know you watch the Hallmark Channel for all the Christmas Movies

Making fun of the plot….. gets me sent to the bedroom to watch my own tv. LOL

If I could get my wife to do just a little less, she might just become a trophy.

One year redshirt pay day, transfer where you want after that. For instructions see '22 TAMU class.

How is allowing underage drinking supporting the program?

They are not stopping underage drinking… they are sending in decoys to bust concession stand workers that don’t properly check ids…. It has very little affect on underage drinking…. It gets a concession stand worker(typically someone just working the game for extra money) to be charged with a misdemeanor…. Aramark to possibly lose a lot of business…. and the University to potentially lose revenue.

I did a quick google search and couldn’t find another university busted for that…. I’m sure it’s probably happened but it seems like we go after the most inconsequential offenses on our campus…. I’m not advocating for letting sexual assault, domestic assault or anything like that go. However, if it’s something that you would overlook bc you went to high school with them…. Stop escalating things and allow the coaching staff to handle it….

I really really really hope Milton has polished up his game. I am not against Joe and I know what it means to go against the popular trend in this thread but I got to see it. I don't hate the guy, and I do not want him to fail. For me personally I been ruined by Hooker and just have those memories from last year missing wide open WR's. I am pulling for Joe and I hope he balls out. Just can't be over the moon like some of you guys about him right now. Throws the such a pretty bomb but I am hoping for a sustained drive of 10, 15, or 20 yards down field. Just picking apart Clemson's defensive. That's what I am hoping for. Please Joe prove me wrong.

I see it in a similar manner, but my spin is that when Milton and his WR crew light up clemson in the Orange Bowl then there’s going to be a mad rush of recruits and portal players trying to get onboard with the Tennessee express train.
If CJH and company can correct his issues in the passing game, then the sky’s the limit for these coaches and their players. This will be a demonstration of how to get the most out of the players and team. Trouncing Clemson in the Orange Bowl is a pretty big statement to start the 2023 season.

Can’t hardly wait!

Agree, but I think Ferrell's one exception was the Other Guys.

I don't think I've ever seen that one. Guess I'll have to watch it now.

Yes, even if you don’t like Ferrell the cast of The Other Guys is ensemble and there are a lot of great lines. Don’t read anything about it just go watch.

Makes sense. Thanks for clarifying.

You never know what will happen in bowl games…. Sometimes teams will act like it’s a vacation and not show up…. This is also the second best defense that we will have played this year, imo. If he struggles some or does amazing….. there will be major over reactions to his performance on this message board….. good or bad.

 

[Jackcrevol]

That's mean. Kansas is the defending national champion.

The org post was talking about an average of number of teams we've held to below 50 pts. I was playing devil's advocate.

The team has come along nicely since the Colorado team. Winning Atlantis was a shot in the arm.

Vols vs ESPN... A way of life.

This offense is designed to create mismatches just like every offense that works on a regular basis is. The biggest difference is the speed in which CJH runs it and the inability for the defense to substitute fresh players and personnel to better match up in certain down and distance situations.

The only things that will really slow it down are excellent man to man cover DB's and DL pressure that can also stop the run. Or new rules to allow defenses to substitute at will. If you have the first part then it becomes a chess match between DC and CJH and as for the second part, that is what Saban is lobbing for as we speak.

Dumping a bunch of sand on your field seems to work as well

Well, since Hooker got hurt, you obviously can’t count any TDs that Hyatt caught from him… so makes sense really.

Harrison’s 12 TDs were tied for fourth most in the nation.

Like the TE, K, and OT pickups-- TE should be a great fit and the OT has 3yrs to develop but looks like he could come in and contribute some right away if we can get that cardio up...

Who are we looking at or talking with at RB? I thought AP or someone else hinted that we were fine with JWT and Whitehead leaving because we were picking up a RB in the portal? Any idea?

There are so many WR's and DB's out there now, we shouldn't have an issue getting who we want... I guess Hyatt coming back since he signed the Hotel deal?

 

[WangoTango]

I'm looking forward to the expanded playoff. Get 10 wins and we will be in most years. Hosting playoff games on Shields-Watkins? Sign me up for the energy that will generate. Hopefully it will provide upsets and lead to a bit more parity in CFB. The format we have now just plain sucks and benefits the same teams every single year outside of one non threatening popularity pick every other year or so.

DBs will be a little tougher than wr….. a lot quantity but not sure how much quality is available…. Hopefully…. We can pull a couple.

He's walking into a building that most everyone else is walking out of.
