Colorado lands another 4 star for the 24’ class

 

[bignewt]

I dont I usually bet on the Vols which gets me in trouble, but I have a friend who does this. He puts a few bucks on whoever his favorite team is playing that way he's happy no matter what happens at the end of the game.

its a great strategy. I employed it frequently this year.

"I didn't see it. We had afternoon meetings that day and he said 'hey coach did you know I threw an orange 110 yards today?'. I said why did you do that Joe? He said they were filming a video thing. I said 'ok, we should probably stop doing that now'. I didn't know he was doing it. No one told me about it. I don't think he can throw his arm out." -- Halzle said laughing a bit.

ESPN is such a joke

Vols should have the QB advantage against Clemson's freshman. Milton has spent five years learning from Harbaugh and Heupel. He has the skills. He hits throws in practice. He has shown he can hit deep in games. He can scramble. Now's the time to show he's the guy. He does that, Vols win. He struggles, it's a problem.

I didn't realize that the staff didn't let Banks travel with the team for bowl week.

Speaks volumes imo

ESPN can kick concrete soccer balls with bare feet. Ranked 30 spots behind the other services. SMDH

Not Banks' choice, nor the coach's. He's ineligible to play.

Hope so, but we will see Friday night.

that's a good point

man he really fumbled the bag at the end here. i won't say it's as bad as throwing away his 2nd chance opportunity here completely, but the wheels really fell off here at the end. I don't know if he realizes it yet (I'm sure some coach(es) have told him), but he cost himself millions.

I bet your friends love you.

They do!

I’ve missed what is going on here. Just saw he is not playing in the bowl. Details???

Ah…thanks

 

[Volpac Sackyou]

They better keep off of Ocean Drive until after the game. You could test positive for a drug test from just walking down the sidewalk lol

Very unfortunate. Both parties would have benefited from him playing. But... next man up.

Don't know the details but if he's academically ineligible as has been said on here, then to me it kinda was J Banks' choice.

How did he cost himself millions…. He was never predicted to be a high draft pick and nfl won’t care that he was academically ineligible…. Still should have gotten his degree when given this opportunity.

Some kids just don’t get it and never will. Also, it’s a slap in the face of teammates that do what they are supposed to and some think they are special. Just how it is.

He was getting 5th round grades on average. I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the 7th or undrafted.

I can't say anything, it's not like I made straight A's (until my last year, anyway). Just disappointed that we won't get to see him out there.

 

[RudyVol]

Hooker owes someone a big thank you for throwing a mustard bottle on the field.

 

[Memphisvol87]

Really? Just bc of rain? So if it was raining when they played then UK and FL would’ve not only not lost their games, but shut them out? Interesting.

Vandy is awful, yes the rain helped our defense. You’re talking about something different

 

[Memphisvol87]

So rain makes it tough on an offense? I agree. Then why do we hold Milton's performance against him?

I just made a comment on the rain helping the defense against an already terrible vandy offense. Milton handed the ball off most of the game
