So I’m curious - what age range do y’all consider to be middle aged?

50-70 range

I don't understand why Barnes has such difficulty recruiting the portal? Is it NIL? Is it his system? Just seems like Tennessee would have a lot to offer.

Barnes likes to develop his players and the portal doesn't fit that process. If you look at our one and done players, they just disrupt the concept of team chemistry. I see his portal players as falling into the same category. Like it or not, we're gonna have issues with one and done and portal guys because of his system of developing players over the course of 3 or 4 years.

Someone spent 100’s if not 1,000’s of hours making that and it’s still one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen.

Would you call it a gimmick?

It will be a hatefest.

2 undefeated teams with 101k+ of our closest friends!
Go Vols!!

Awesome and let me be the first to congratulate you on your 3rd child in January 2024!!

I had a vasectomy over 2 months ago. No more babies for this guy!!

Vol Nation, my wife returns tomorrow from a 6 1/2 month deployment. Me and our two boys are beyond thrilled! Happy Thursday!!

I hope you cleaned the house before her return

If you haven't-------good luck

Remember when Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful QB?

I also remember when he said there is no way that Peyton Manning returns to Tennessee for his senior year and that Terry McDaniel in the first round to the Raiders was a huge reach.

I think Mel believes that in Heupel's offense, Levis would have won the Heisman.

He would have been at least third string here, maybe 4th.

Anything over 45 is middle aged.

April 13, 1963 and 1984

After starting 0-11, Pete Rose triples vs the Pirates for his first MLB hit in 1963 and in 1984 reaches hit #4000

I don’t think his way his optimal for tournament runs…. I wish he could grow and make some small adjustments… I have read that Dillon could be a very good offensive answer this year.

You can criticize Barnes for things, but I disagree with that being something that holds him back for the tournament. Jay Wright set the model by developing top 75 players for 2-4 years. You get the top 75 talent with the experience in their last years. Barnes has essentially done a similar thing and also sprinkled in a few one and dones. He had to start with 3 star players like Grant, Admiral, Bone, and Fulky but continued with Pons, Vescovi and in process with Aidoo, Mashak, Dilione, Jefferson, and Estrella. I think that strategy is the way to go, but you may have a down year every once in a while. We just don’t take transfer to be a top player on the team.

Is that the upstate kid or another one?

Upstate

Looks like a 90’s movie poster. Took me a min to wrap my head around what I was looking at.

Only took about 2 months to stop bleeding and get off antibiotics. After about 6 months things were back to normal. Which was great, until my wife's Doc prescribed her birth control for some regulatory stuff

#just pull out

 

[Orange_Crush]

My son actually did it for about 6 months about 8 years ago. Overall, not a very good experience for him.
