"$$$. That's the only thing that makes sense.

How does a guy who has been committed for so long, recruit for us, stand firm, sees that we stay true to his commitment just de commit so close to NSD?

It's all about the $$$ "

lolz

you mean UT's #VolNation is better than OM #the doesnt work too well Network?

someone better tell OM fans,I mean they are getting an extra chicken wing or biscuit at KFC due to the Network...all we are getting are future NFL lineman...


I need a hug...:crazy:

VN may crash.... BOOM

Because there are hats on a table, puppies under the table, shirts under shirts under shirts.

All the drama of the past 2-3 years so one can say "I'm taking my talents to..."

Memphis is in Tennessee

Thread derailment alert!

Memphis vs crime vs barbaque

NSD can't get here fast enough!!!!

This is the funniest post I've seen from a OM board:

The staff purposely let Richmond and Leo walk because we're opening up spots for our epic 2016 class.

All is well.

Coming from an Ole Mi$$ fan??? That's hysterical.

The only and I mean ONLY thing that makes me nervous about all this is if Drew had the balls to publicly DE-commit from Ole Miss, why doesn't he just go ahead and publicly commit to Tennessee? Why wait until NSD? Call me paranoid but I'm still bracing myself for a huge troll job.

This is all just a #butchmove. He stages announcements with these guys for excitement and momentum. To have him wait to announce until Wed creates drama and then on the day it matters....BOOM, we have a signed LOI and it's a done deal. Everybody in the nation is covering signing day and all ears and eyes are open and watching. A bigger splash.

Did he learn the move from Kiffin?

They just can't accept the reality that it's because they suck as a football program & fanbase. :birgits_giggle:

5-star Drew Richmond decommits from Ole Miss, per report - Red Cup Rebellion

The comments are priceless. There is some real wit there...not unlike how some artists do their best work after experiencing a grave tragedy. "Knoxville in Indian means '****ty Chattanooga'...bravo, seriously.

I wouldn't troll somebody in the depths of butt-hurtedness, but if I did....I would be as sympathetic as I could be. Not the cheesy see-through sympathy, but the kind with serious well-wishes sprinkled with reasons to stay up-beat. A genuine pat-on-the-head ...while being totally oblivious to the rancor that ensues.

But no - we've all been there...best to leave'em alone.

They deserve to suffer after what they said about DR. It's funny that the OM recruiting class has collapsed and will probably be ranked past 30.

I just read the Red Cup Rebellion thread......I'm stunned. The amount of vulgar, hateful, vitriol is stunning. I know everybody has posters like that, and they frequently are susceptible to a pack mentality.....but these clown raise the bar. The language, and references used by so many show where their minds are.

But worst of all.....they are from Mississippi. The education, income, and welfare statistics of that state alone should disqualify them from this discussion.

I think they're projecting.

Look at it from the other side.

All you hear from UT over the last few years is "We're one of the best programs ever that has had the worst luck. We got screwed by two coaches and it was so unfair!?!? Everyone else in the SEC sucks and other than Bama we have the best history". **UT is mediocre for a few years then BAM, Butch Jones comes and the same talk about rising back is mentioned. UT has a decent year, but has an incredible class. Now UT fans are all like** "Screw the rest of the SEC. We had our years of being average. Now it's time for all overachievers (Vandy, Ole Miss, Miss St, Mizzou, etc) to be put back in place and for UT to ascend to its rightful place".

Personally I'm not bothered by it. I understand some of the roller coaster emotions of the last few years. UK basketball went through a similar slump and coaching change. But the UT fans I knew in real life, some of them on VN, and overall from people I talk to...UT fans do come off as a bit arrogant and having a superiority complex. Obviously there's a lot of good fans out there in orange, but just my two cents. Same goes for UK basketball fans. Sometimes you don't see how your fanbase appears until you hear what others say about you.

I'm thinking if Tennessee feels they are getting Richmnd then they want him to keep quiet. One for publicity on NSD and also if they are in good shape with another OT that hasn't committed then he might be more likely to sign then having to fight for playing time and signs elsewhere.

Not really a superiority complex when you are, in fact, superior :zeitung_lesen:

+10000000000 Tennessee does lead the series with Ole Miss by something like 45-20.

It's nothing personal. It's just that we're better than you.

Haha I posted the all time win-loss record in the comments (UT 44 - Ole Miss 20) after reading all their posts about how they beat us 34-3 last year. Made the point that even if they beat us for the next 20 years straight we'd STILL have a winning record against them.

After about an hour I come to find my post was deleted and that I have been banned from commenting on SBnation!! The ole miss butthurt is at an all time high right now hahaha.

Those idiots think last season's win cancels out the entire 24 game lead by Tennessee. I wish Tennessee played them in Neyland this season.

This guy is freaking delusional.. Courtesy of Red Cup Rebellion..

"901 i get your point

but Nick Saban does this **** with elite 5 stars all the time. Granted, Freeze hasn’t built the reputation to be able to emulate somebody like Saban, but at some point you have to put your foot down.

What bothers me the most about Drew Richmond is that he is a little ***** who whined to Freeze every time he was looking at other big OL (Rankin, Weathersby, Ivey). So Freeze said "if you’re solid with us, I am solid with you and I won’t recruit other guys. You’re my LT." Then he pulls this **** 2 days before signing day. That’s ****ing BS. I get it…everyone says these are kids and they change their mind blah blah blah, but that doesn’t make it any less ****ed to do to someone who’s livelihood is riding the the scoreboard. People say, adults questioning a 17 years olds character in recruiting is a terrible thing to do. **** that. I’ll question his character all day if I want. He’s a little cry baby *****. And that’s not sour grapes, I assure you. I remember the moment he committed way back when that I felt like this kid was completely full of himself, loved the attention, and was all about the drama. As opposed to Javon Patterson, who is just as elite as Drew, who was very mature in this process.

Look at the photos of Drew Richmond. I am not kidding. He has that prep school smug look on his face. I know that look because I went to prep school with a bunch of whiny titty babies. He looks like a guy who is an immature attention whore. He has the makings of a bust. He’ll arrive at UT, as a freshman and all of a sudden nobody gives a **** anymore and he’s gonna get butt-hurt. If everything doesn’t go perfectly for him, don’t be surprised if he transfers to recreate the attention he got in recruiting. You see it happen a lot with 5 star guys.

In addition to the fact that I think he is a bust in the making and felt that way form the beginning, I am pissed at how he embarrassed our coaching staff publicly. Going to Tennessee and having other recruits tweet at Freeze and have him sorta laugh along with them is really ****ed up considering all the time and energy Hugh & Luke put in to getting him to Oxford. I don’t care if you’re 17, 18, or 45 that shows a extreme lack of maturity and a lack of an understanding of the real world. The real world isn’t MUS. He’ll learn soon enough, especially when the seniors tape is freshman ass to his locker.

If there was ever a year when we could **** up and learn some lessons, etc it was this year considering our limited scholarships, etc. Experts said we’d be lucky to pull a top 25 class. We could end up with one around 15. Granted, we have a gaping hole in OT & LB, so we’ll have to hope that the Juco ranks can make up for that next year."
