I would agree with those 4 but the Fulmer Crystal Ball pic came to mind 1st. I'd probably put that one in over Leonard Little, since we're talking top 4. LL in the top 10


*I would put the Eric Berry decleater pic in the top 10, the Stoerner fumble, Al Wison, General Neyland, and Juaun Jennings TD vs Florida







**** I want to add 1 more for the top 5. My favorite pic from the past 20+ seasons

If you look at the stats, one player scored 36 pts on 12-24 shooting. That's pretty awesome. What's more awesome is he supposedly only played 13 MINUTES!

24 shots in 13 minutes:

Sounds like Hyatt won't play in the bowl game.

Surely Hyatt plays. Especially after the NIL deal and only a few yards away from the school record. He sounded like he was leaning that way last night.

He should at least go out and be a decoy a few times and then run one take-off or two and see if he can get the school yardage record.

I won’t be mad if he doesn’t, but just doesn’t seem like it has to be that high risk if you just want to give him a couple drives and chance to connect on one more big play. Don’t need to run WR screens to him or even get him in the middle of the field at all.

Guess we will see. He just inked a deal with one of the largest hotel companies in the world for no telling how much and signed up with an NIL group this week. Strange for someone who may turn pro..

He won't make more NIL in one year of college than he would as an early draft pick. I just gave you -minimum- yearly numbers which don't include anything except direct pay from the teams. So he would still have access to sponsor money, signing bonuses, and other incentive funds.

Believe me, I have a friend that's actually paid for player appearances. Hyatt hotels gave Jalin a one time promotional payment for a NIL deal, that's not going to be a weekly check or anything. Most these guys are getting a grand or two for appearances, some are selling merchandise and getting a % off each sale. But none of them are pulling down a million a year in guaranteed money like the NFL offers them except for the upper level QBs (allegedly).

I'd love for Hyatt to return and he might. I'm sure knowing he can make some cash from NIL while improving his draft stock is good incentive to do just that, but if he's graded in the first two rounds there isn't anyway to improve his draft stock more than that and he'd face the risk of injury next year which would only be hurting his draft stock.

Tillman and Hooker both will be drafted lower because of their injuries this year. It's a risky move, especially since Jalin's season was already one of kind.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

You do realize he can still have a deal with Hyatt as a professional player right?

Yeah, sometimes I think people forget NIL has exactly zero to do with which college you're at. Players in the NFL make money off NIL still all the time. It's exactly what every single shoe deal is...

Is it safe to say the day @VolsDoc81TX is up to date on the thread is the day we should expect the Sun to turn black?

So now we’re looking for hypothetical reasons to be the victim?

The Heisman is given to a player "whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity." Expletives on fingernails don't qualify. Sorry.

I think if i'm him. I take my wedge out, crack open a cold one, and lay er up. Walk to the ball, no questions, pick it up. Walk off into the sunset. #done.

To you. Other people dont care. The world obviously does not revolve around the south.

It's not really hypothetical when our baseball team and fanbase got scolded because of one middle finger.

And before you get started, pointing out hypocracy does not make one a victim. I don't care about what Williams did just like I didn't care about our baseball team's attitude. What I do find ridiculous is the media framing our team like classless punks, and then framing Williams like a competitor with an edge.

 

[SimplemanTN]

Idk somebody ask Henry T what he thinks?

 

[BigSteve09]

What exactly does he do?

He is an author/speaker by nature so he has a natural ability to make material jump off the page. He also spares nothing when it comes to research and information gathering. The end result is a very captivating, relatable and easy to consume long-form history lesson. He's a great story teller.

 

[volinbama256]

Help me here. How does the SECPoY, and the guy that threw 97% of the passes to the Billetnikoff winner, get shafted for any National award by, a team that played NO ONE?!

Every time I think about TN playing 5 ranked teams and HH putting up those numbers. I get frustrated.

We live in a world where flashiness & self promotion are lauded. It frustrates the crap out of me for that kid...


That said, if I have to get my lawnmower out in Dec., to quote John Bean 'somebody's ass might get whupped.'[/QUOTE]


I just got back from dropping my wife's car off for new brakes and looked at my yard--- I'm really close to needing to cut it one more time.... WTF it's DECEMBER

 

[FBtime]

Interesting perspective

 

[drvenner]

Hyatt definitely deserved it, but I do think Harrison will be the better receiver long term.

That remains to be seen. Harrison is fantastic. Hyatt is fantasticer.

Ehhh... I am not sure if he comes back next season, he said Fify, but I would be very surprised if he doesn't play in the bowl game... I think he's the type of kid from the type of family that has been taught to finish what you start...

I think the whole media framing our baseball team as classless punks is revisionist history. Other fanbases took shots and votwitter made sure to pump it up as victims. Its college baseball, not exactly a media focus.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

There is no freaking way you get from Long Beach to Reno in just 8 hours.

493 miles divided by 8 hours equals 61.25 mph

Slow plane, bullet train, mid engine Vette mane!

Really not too far nor too fast to drive it…

 

[bignewt]

I think this is the perfect example of why it should not.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Hyatt breaks the single season yardage record with 32 yards. I could see him in for a series or two just trying to get him open downfield to make one long catch.

The unfortunate thing for us is that typically the NFL doesn't do their evaluations and draft grading until after the Super Bowl. So Hyatt's decision to play in the bowl game would be one he'll have to make without knowing that.

Meachem's 1298 did include his bowl game appearance against Penn State where he caught 4 passes for 33 yards. (so his regular season total was 1265)

I'm not really sure about that one. I seem to remember twitter being overloaded with blue check marks clutching their pearls and then immediately dancing on our grave when we lost to ND.

 

[drvenner]

Logan ward and Eric Cain pushing hard for Hyatt to opt out of the bowl game and go pro.. how did Logan ward get this job on UT radio? He’s a gator fan that hates UT

Because the Animal gets a lot of listeners based on the fact that they broadcast all the games. That, and people are too stupid to realize that people like Hyams and Ward have agendas that they use the radio show to promote.

 

[volinbama256]

Also,

If Hyatt comes back, he's still going to put up great numbers, has the Award on his back, and will get drafted either way no later than the 2nd round whether he goes or stays... We've all seen that maybe it's not such a bad thing not to be the first or second WR picked, you usually go to a dirt team... Come back, make NIL money, work on your craft, you know you'll get drafted high, then go show out and make a good team where you can shine but not have the pressure at first of carrying a bad team...

Just my biased thoughts on wanting to justify him coming back--- If he can torch secondarys this season, he'll do the same next, and have a guy that COULD and SHOULD hit him in stride no matter the distance with that cannon of an arm...

 

[bignewt]

Again this victim fanbase loves to be hated and zero in on everything as a perceived slight. A few blue checks on Twitter does not constitute "media" in my mind.
